Hey, now! Don't be dissin' The Hoff! Cei-U! I summon the guiltiest of guilty pleasures! Well, I wouldn't say that I hate the film. But I can't watch it with a straight face.  |

Comics? There hasn't been a single superhero movie better than the books. I wouldn't say I hate them. But live action movies just can't capture comics, no matter the technological advances. Leave that to animated films.

Leave that to animated films. Blade I and II. Every Blade solo series comic book has been atrocious (and I know, because I've read all of them). The first two movies are far better than anything that was ever put to the page (although the third film is a festering pile of garbage). |

I like those Blade movies too but they're so different from the comics that it's pretty much a new character, and I wouldn't go so far as to say I prefer the movie version to the one I used to read about in Tomb of Dracula. |

Conan the Barbarian (1982)
Milius caught none of the grim humor of Conan, none of his melancholic fatalism, and none of the color and variety of Howard's world. It was Arnold wearing a stupid headband in a high-budget of the late 50s-early 60s Italian sword and sandal epics.
And it certainly didn't look like a Frazetta painting come to life. More like a spaghetti Western and The Beastmaster had a baby.
Maybe there was a moment or two, but they have not been engraved into my memory.

Conan the Barbarian was a decent sword & sorcery flick for its time, but was a horrible Conan movie. It drew more from the Kull mythos than the Conan mythos when it bothered to draw from REH at all.
On a side note, would this thread be more appropriately placed in the forum about comic related movies, tv, etc. since it is about comic movies?

Though I guess I should have worded my previous post better. Of all the comics I've read and watched the movies of, the comics have always come out on top. Blade I've read a handful of guest appearances. Mostly in the 90's Ghost Rider series. So I know little of him. |

Conan the Barbarian was a decent sword & sorcery flcik for its time, but was a horrible Conan movie.] Of all the Conan-inspired media released in May of 1982, my preference is for Groo the Wanderer. |

Do the Nolan Batman films count? I put them down. So my answer would be yes. |

I'll chime in on this one - I love Swamp Thing and when they made a movie of it and I was very disappointed seeing Swamp Thing (1982) and the sequel The Return of Swamp Thing (1989) even when they had both Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson writing it and did not have the appeal of the Comic Book itself. As far as I know, Wein and Wrightson had no direct input into the scripts of either Swamp Thing movie. Some internet film sites like to list comics creators among the writers of films based on their characters, for some reason. The first Swampy movie was written by Wes Craven amd the second was by writers named Neil Cuthbert and Grant Morris. |

I don't know anything about Grant Morris at all. Thanks for this info. |
