Comic hour
it's come to my Attention that comic book movies have been a Crave lately, this also had got me to reading some out of interest too, I shall mention ones I like, love and a upcoming that new film will be coming soon
Sin City: Perharps the first in a manner, (by first I mean one took from dialog detail to style in it, Spiderman took the concept but not complete dialog from the book can you picture Marvel's dialogs in films?! XD) Frank Miller the Creator wanted to avoid using comic book tie in on films (due to events from Hollywood) Robert Rodriguez wanted to prove that Comic book films can be Transition, not adaption and made a proof of concept using the Story "The Customer is Always Right" (later used for a intro) and the film for it began, the film itself uses a style of having short stories from different characters, such as Yellow bastard, The Hard Goodbye, and The Big Fat Kill, All characters fit and not just that, all Dialog is from entirely from the book (with some minior changes, but not too dear you'll get feel like your watching new) Marv is a perfect example of character, not only does he look and sound like him, but you also feel like he just came out of page and is now to life on screen (that means feels like him XD) the Style fits the comic, not just black and white, but also good use of shadow and contrasts, it's very good, where your a comic book fan or not, Sin City fan or not, it's worth watching this, Reading this, even hearing about it, it's style is eyecandy and characters do what they should do
it's Worth it
300: (Note, I haven't read it yet, but Frank Millers comic the same way, so I'm using my judgement) The Style from what I've seen in the covers, is the same as the comic book from before, I can't say much since I have only seen the film, but if Frank Miller is trusting with this title, then it must have worked
Watchmen: it started out of interest when the series were becoming a hype, to be fair, one creator has a personal hate for comic book movies (V for Vendetta, but that's for another time) but following Sin City's and 300 footsteps, did this film turn out to completely like the Real thing? No, but is it close to the first 2 films sucuess, yes, Elements like the Story was 90% the same as the book (With some element of the end, not entirely as well as some missing detail such as the Shadow couple on the wall) but regardless, it went though the whole comic in the film, from the begining, of a main character's death, to the end, of the outcome, it's nice to look up, but picky readers, might feel miniorly pushed off, but keep this in mind, it's only for those who like a good film and aren't picky on too much details on their books, but like I said, it did pretty well for keeping the elements from the first 2 mention films, just needs to not remove detail and change some facts, to a new, afterall, that's what made the first try of comic book adaptions in the past of many years caused it to somewhat fail in the first place
and now for what your waiting for
the Next Comic Adaption is: Umbrella Academy!
