What Comic Movie was furthest from the original comic?

[WallCrawl]

Actually I believe that was Godzilla.

I don't think people started calling it GINO until Catwoman came around and standardized the term.

 

[3dman27]

i believe that is correct

You've clearly never read Batman comics of the 40's, 50's and early 60's. Joel Schumacher did. And no matter how ridiculous B&R is, the comics were more ridiculous. Baby Batman. Zebra-Batman. In an issue of SUperman from the 50's, Batman goes shopping for a present for Superman's birthday....in a mall, in broad daylight. Batman also didn't just have Robin and Batgirl, he had Batwoman, Batdog, Batmite....

I know very well about those, the ? however is, FURTHEST from the ORIGINAL. I don't think Bob Kane's original Dark Knight was meant to have nipples.

A thread about comic book movies that stray away from their source material, and NOBODY mentioned "Constantine"?

I sewar, that movie was NOTHING like the "Hellblazer" comic books. Keanu Reeves played a John Constantine, but not THE John Constantine.

Unfortunately since I never read Hellblazer th' only major change I knew of was location an' nationality there. Still liked th' movie.

No way, people were referring to the Sony/Tristar Godzilla as GINO WAAAAAAAY before a Catwoman movie was even being thought of.

I'm a huge Godzilla fan and my dreams of a big-budget Godzilla film were shattered when that Sony/Tristar Godzilla film was released. Fans immediately started calling the mutated iguana GINO, cuz obviously the only thing that lizard had in common with Godzilla was the name.

I Must Be The Only One Who Liked The 1998 Version; I Preferred It Greatly To A Lumbering Guy In A Clunky Rubber Suit Knocking Over Cardboard Buildings.

Oh well. I only heard about CINO first. Regardless, which came first has nothing to do with Catwoman being the comic movie the furthest from its comic counterpart. I think it still takes the cake.

I thought the movie was pretty good. I thought it was better then Peter Jacksons Kong. The only part that hurt (well, back then anyway when I loved the Knicks) was seeing MSG blown up. But overall the movie was great.

X-Men! X-Men! X-Men!

I can't believe nobody has said this one yet! I was highly disappointed! Pretty much all they got right was the names and the powers!

Not True; The Origins & Motivations, For The Most Part, Remained Intact. The Personalities Remained Intact. It's Nowhere Near As Far Removed As The Others Listed Here.

You suck.

Because he doesn't agree with you? I liked the X-Men movies too, but people are allowed to have their own opinions.
