Most of my movie collection consists of either movies adapted from comic/graphic novels, or movies that have comic/graphic novel spin offs. For the most part, I enjoy them. Of course some (elektra, daredevil, fantastic four, spiderman 1/2, etc) have been disappointing, we also have the ones done very well such as the incredible hulk (with norton as banner), the latest batman movies, iron man, thor and captain america were great, 300, v for vendetta, and despite popular opinion, I thought the watchmen movie was awesome. And how about AMCs tv series adaptation of THE WALKING DEAD!? That shit is fucking amazing. Mostly, these movies are intended to be a fun, yet interesting watch. Same as the source material. Comics aren't really meant to be mind blowing, life changing, read with some kind of revealing universal truth behind them. They are meant to be enjoyed. I mean, I like independent films and all, but when I'm not in the mood to watch something that makes me either kill myself or overthrow the government, I like to watch shit get blown up.
