What's the best R-rated comic book film?

[kedrell]

Yeah, I'm still on the R-rated kick ever since Watchmen. So sound off! Which is your favorite? I could only think of 16 in existence but if I missed one, just check the "other" box and let us know which it is.

My choice would be a tough one between Road To Perdition and A History of Violence

Edit: I actually realize there are at least 3 or 4 I missed on this poll. Oh well.

 

[kedrell]

In the end, I chose RTP.

 

[Gilpesh]

Sin City. It was a great movie while being a great comic adaptation.

 

[Morg]

No the Crow listing?

 

[kedrell]

No the Crow listing?

I mentioned that there were 3 or 4 films I forgot. Sorry. Just vote "other" I guess.

I also forgot to add Constantine, Time Cop, Judge Dredd, every Crow film, Sheena, Tank Girl, and Barb Wire to name a few.

 

[ross2287]

Barb Wire...for two obvious reasons.

 

[bullets]

The Crow is one of my favorite films but Watchmen actually felt like a comic film . I put Watchmen as a close second.

 

[SuperFerret]

A History of Violence.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Watchmen. I loved the book, and the Film too.

 

[The Sarge]

I'm going to wait to see warzone before I post. As I stand, I'm leaning toward Blade. Unlike movies like Sin City and watchmen, I like the film more than the comics. Somehow that elevates the film in comparison to those. When I watch a film based too heavily off the comic, I can't help but compare the whole time. Though I do like those films, at he end of the day I like films like Blade, batman and Spider-man that don't focus on a single story due to a long convoluted history.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Blade 1 and 2, Sin City and especially The Crow I loved, but Watchmen was just amazing, so I voted for that.

 

[DACrowe]

I'm gonna get **** for number 1:

1. V For Vendetta
2. Watchmen
3. Sin City
4. A History of Violence
5. Road to Perdition

What can I say, it may have been streamlined for Hollywood, but it was an extremely entertaining and fulfilling film.

 

[Rac]

A History of Violence

 

[kedrell]

And to no suprise, Watchmen pulls ahead to an early lead.

 

[[A]]

all 3 Blade and Punisher 2003 were R ?

 

[kedrell]

^Yes, and Punisher was 2004 I believe..

 

[Gilpesh]

And to no suprise, Watchmen pulls ahead to an early lead.

Cause people forget the greatness of Sin City as an adaptation and movie.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Watchmen, Sin City, V For Vendetta, Constantine (this is a great film) History of Violence for me.

 

[Swordmaster]

1. The Crow
2. Watchmen
3. V for Vendetta

 

[Darkness Falls]

The Crow, never gonna be replaced as #1
Watchmen
The Punisher
V for vendetta
Sin city

 

[Chris Wallace]

1. Blade II
2. V For Vendetta
3. The Crow

I think the timing might slant this poll in Watchmen's favor, though.

 

[gwynplaine]

The Crow.

And the best R-rated film that looks and feels like a comic book film : Robocop.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Watchmen by far. The only other three on the list I saw & enjoyed were the first two Blade movies & Sin City .

 

[The Shadow]

V for Vendetta is the only one I've seen. It was okay, nothing special though.

 

[Hellstormer]

The Crow without a doubt. It's faithful and its got emotion behind it.
