Best action sequence in any Comic book adaptation!!!!

Of all comic book adaptations in movies which would you say was the best and most accurate depiction of a comic book character in an action sequence regardless of how you feel about the movie as a whole?

 

[WeaponXProject]

To me it is either the semi "Slaughter" truck that Joker is trying to kill Two-Face and the Tumbler becomes the Batpod scene or the scene in Spidey 2 where Spidey fights Doc Ock on top of the train.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Hulk vs Abomination. no contest.

The fight in Spidey 2 was pretty authentic up until he lost his mask and stopped the train with his webbing. That just killed the sequence for me. A NYC subway and no ones snapping pictures with their cell phone? Lame!

Hulk vs Abomination. no contest.

I would have to vote for this one as well. Although I have to say Hulk vs. the Military in Ang Lee's Hulk was very good as well.

Blade in the beginning of Blade I at the vampire club was pretty impressive. The highlight of that particular movie.

Yeah but woud you say authentic.Not your favorite.There wasn't near enough power as what would have been a comic book fight between the two.Most accurate and most authentic.

For instance dispite how the Daredevil movie was recieved that Baroom or Poolroom fight in the begging seemed right on the mark with the comic.

The Iron man fight where he catches the Car and that fight sequence also seemed on the mark.

As far as Spiderman I would have to go with the fight sequence he had with Dr.Octopus on the building.

But the killer was when he he was sliding all over town after shooting his webbing to the train.

And saving Gwen Stacey from the falling building for action sequences accurate depiction.

I must say I really didn't like any of the Wolverine action sequences with the exception of his first fight in the first movie in the cage and when he cut the guys shotgun.I would pick those as most accurate action depictions of Wolverine.

As far as Hulks are concerned I woud have to go with the Hulk military fight for most accurate and the jumping scene.

call me crazy, but I thought that happened in the sequel

Sorry yes Spiderman 2 or II. I forgot to put a period.
I meant to say as far as Spiderman.I would have to go with.....
Not as far as Spiderman I would have to go with......

Typo.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

There are a few nomination for me:

Superman saving the Plane in SR
The final battle in Transformers (this was a TF fanboys dream)
BPRD vs The Golden Army in Hellboy II
Blade vs Nomak in Blade II
Spiderman vs Doc Ock in Spidey 2
Nightcrawler in the white house in X2
Hulk vs The Military in Hulk.

There are just too many to choose.

I think you are critiquing it too much. It's a camptastic comic book movie about a guy that gets bit by a spider and becomes spider like. As for the scene its one of my favorite moments in any comic book until he lost his mask. It's about the action.

 

[Hmarrs]

Oh and then I would have to go with
Superman I when he first save Lois from the Helicopter.
Also when he spins the planet bakwards as unbelievable that may be it was accurate to the comic he did that once.

SR Saving the plane and Catching the Dailey planet Globe.oh and I can't forget the bullet to the eye.

Superman II fight with the three villians from Krypton.
Action sequence of Batman I. First scene.Also the scene in the alley when he is fighting those thugs.He seems to do alot of Martial arts in that scene.Loved the last scene when he beats up the Joker.

First sequence in Batman II.Also Catwomen fight on the roof.

Batman Begins where he fight those guys by the trucking yard he was barely visable I thought it was awesome.
I only wish there would have been more of that.Being shadowey not visable he was creepy in that scene.

Dark Knight without a doubt the last scene with the cops chasing him.Maybe it was just the emotion of that scene I don't know.

Fantastic Four I Thing beating up Doom through several buildings.That's it as far as accuracey is concerned there.

Fanatastic Four 2 Human Torch Silver Surfer chase was beautiful.That's it though for accuracey that and Silver Surfers fight with the Military.

X-men I When Sabertooth tries to capture Wolverine and Rogue I felt like a Deja vu in that scene in the snow when Sabertooth swung the tree and Cyclops and Storm show up.


X-men II The Nightcrawler scene in the begginning.

Spiderman III fight with Sandman on the truck.

True that can happen in a comic.He can lose and has lost his mask.
We should probabley split this forum into most accurate action scene and most favorite.

The thing with the Spidey Ock fight that bothers me is this. Spiderman has the equivalent strength to a spider, he can stop a train. But what happens when he punches a normal, non super human man in the face? (Ock) Nothing. If it was accurate Spidey wouldn't be able to land a punch on Ock anyway. In the comics Spidey could rarely get close enough to land a single punch, let alone land a flurry. It was a great sequence though, but just far from authentic.

My favourites are Blade's arrival in the club in Blade 1. And his first fight with Nomak in Blade 2.

Hulk's fight with the military in HULK was epic. And I don't get what anyone says, Ang Lee's was much better and authentic IMO.

Nightcrawler in the White House

In Batman Begins the scene at the docks. Some people didn't like the choppy editing but I thought it made him more mysterious when you couldn't properly see him.

Doom vs The Thing in FF. This movie get's loads of stick, but I think it's pretty good. I think it gets unfairly paired with the piece of crap that came after it.

The chase scene in TDK. EPIC and 100% authentic.

I've never spent a second of my adult life wishing I was a superhero with the exception being the first time I watched that scene.

Punisher:What about the fight sequence between the Punisher and the Russian.
Anyone think that was authentic.Because I really couldn't find any other action sequence as authentic in the movie.

The Crow(Brandon Lee)All of it.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea that fight with the Russian was epic and comical at the same time!

BTW, this is a great thread.

Comical as in comic book accurate or comical as in funny.

 

[Chewy]

Spider-Man vs Doc Ock on the train
Wolverine vs Stryker's soldiers
Hulk vs Abomination

In that order.

Question on Wolverine vs Strryker.
I thought about that but I'm asking honestly now.Do you see that sequence as true Wolverine accuracy.
I couldn't.actually I couldn't see that in just about any of his action sequences with the exeption of his very first scene.
Just curious and if anyone else thinks so I would honestly like a response even if you disagree with me here.

Did I like it yes.Did I think it was true Wolverine comic adaptation?No.
In the comics he gives me a more brutal apperance and even a totally differant sense of fighting.In the movie it came of softer and lighter.Even his fight with Sabertooth in X-men I.Or his fight with the Chick at the end of II.I'm not just talking bloodier because I know they probably were going for a specific rating I'm talking skillfull wise as well.
It seemed it was missing it's edge.Same thing with Hulk vs.Abomination as far as accuracy is concerned.In comic scale it would have been magnified way beyond what we saw.
Did I like it yes.Was it accurate?No.I mean this is Hulk versus Abomination we should have seen buildings come down.I can't see a ful scale war between these two as being issulated to just a couple of blocks but it's obvious the Hulk power in this version was scaled down signifacantly.That why I have to go with Hulk I.Hulk versus Military for comic book accuracy.

 

[Chewy]

All three that I listed were accurate. In response to your post, Wolverine was about as feral as you can get without an R rating, and Hulk vs Abomination was very brutal. Wishing for buildings to collapse, etc is unrealistic - movies have little things called budgets.

I understand but my original question was about comic book accuracy.

 

[Chewy]

And I answered it. How is the two of them fighting within a couple of blocks "inaccurate"? Unless they destroy a couple of buildings it isn't in keeping with the comics? That's ridiculous.

Of course he looked more powerful in AngHulk. He was just fighting a couple of tanks and jets. Doesn't mean he WAS more powerful. Here he was fighting a monster who was stronger than him.

 

[redlion2]

1. Hulk vs. Abomination

2. Spidey vs Doc Ock on the train

3. Wolverine vs. Lady Deathstrike

Honorable mention: Blade in the underground vamp club in Blade 1

 

[November Rain]

can a reall spidey fan truly say ock vs spiderman. spidey landed WAAAAAAAAAAY to many blows in all their confrontations. A true spidey ock fight would have ock ko'd in one blow but have spidey spend the entire fight trying to land it. That has always been the beauty of their confrontations, the agility of spidey vs the strategy and intellect of ock.

It's highly highly inaccurate



If we are going on accuracy, then it has to be wolverine's cage fight. A Very very simple scene really well done. It's beauty is in the fact we know the character before he is mentioned.

i would put some of ang's hulk in there but there wasn't enough dialect and general distaste for puny banner and the puny humans for my liking
