Comic books has some interesting series of stories and because of its popularity, some of these Comic Book stories also have film adaptation also. In addition, of course some of them come unwanted while others are highly appreciative.
The Best Comic Books Movies Ever
American Splendor – this comics book based film is a biopic film that talks about The Comic books author Harvey Pekar. However, despite of it, the film also adapts the comic book’s dramatization of the author’s biography. The film received highly positive reviews from critics. The film’s numerous awards and nominations are just a few of the evidences that the movie really is of high quality. A few of the awards won include the Dramatic Film grand prize award at the Sundance Film Festival.
Persepolis – based on the autobiographical novel of the same title the Persepolis is French animated film. The film received various positive reviews and some of the critics consider it as a coming-of-age take that has the ability to manage to be both harrowing and excited. A few of the governments provides numerous comments, some parents complains of its obscene contents, but the movie in overall was a huge success.
Superman: The Movie – who does not know Superman? Its seems like everybody knows superman and when this known comic character had a film adaptation, like the success of the comic book, the film also gets the attention of many viewers worldwide. The movie stars various known actors including Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter, Jackie Cooper, March McClure, Valerie Perrine, and Ned Beatty as Superman. The film is highly acclaimed by critics and was once of the top grosser. In the film, Superman disguised as the TV reported Clark Kent that had a romance with Lois Lane.
Spider-Man 2 – if you have known Superman, then you definitely had known Spiderman as well. This American superhero film is based on the Marvel Comic character Spiderman and was the second movie in the Spider-Man film franchise. With Peter Parker as the main character, the Spiderman 2 movie was a highly acclaimed movie by critics. Some find Alfred Molina as a pleasingly complex villain. The film’s special effects were great and the film has improved drastically in almost every way as compared to its predecessor. In the movie, star Peter Parker is struggling in keeping his crime-fighting duties and normal life balanced.
The worst comic-book movies
Catwoman –stars Halle Berry, the film that was based on DC Comics character Catwoman. The viewers and reviewers poorly accepted the film. According to different reviewers, the film failed to provide its audience the sense of what the character experienced, as she was transformed into a Catwoman. This incompleteness leaves the audience hanging thinking why the character transforms. The film was listed as one of the worst movie made ever and became one of Roger Ebert’s most hated films. Many also have suggested that Berry should return her 2002 Academy Award as penalty.
Batman and Robin – we all know Batman and we love George Clooney. However, despite of the known comic character and actor, the movie still receives poor critical acclaim. The movie’s failure was blamed on Warner Brother’s decision to fast track production, which resulted the producers to create a batman movie with less torture and more heroic actions. However, many of the viewers have accused the addition of the possible homosexual innuendo in the storyline causes the film’s failure. The film has random amount of rubber nipples and some close-ups of the dynamic duo’s butts and Bat-crotches. The star Clooney even said that the franchise might have been killed and called it a waste of money.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze – teenage mutant Ninja Turtle is undoubtedly every child favorite comic character. This movie is definitely not for adults as this was made for the kids. However, the movie’s awful dialogue made it even more unbearable for adults. In addition, the turtles show a dopey and casual attitude towards physical violence making it not an ideal movie for your little ones, as it does not make the turtles a good role model to your kids.
