Well, Watchmen might have its share of critics but Zack Snyder's adaptation of Alan Moore's masterpiece still managed to claim the top spot with 688 (24.27%) votes. Second place goes to Kick-Ass with 434 (15.31%) votes, and third was V For Vendetta - 252 (8.89%) - with Sin City hot on its heels with 248 (8.75%). Another Moore adaptation, From Hell, came in last with only 5 votes.



Was this fair? was anything over-praised or under-looked in your opinion? Have a look at the results in full and sound off in the usual place.

Watchmen, one of the best comicbook movies regardless of category imo.

Glad to see at least a few votes for Ghost World..an obscure CBM classic.

The Crow. I just loved the artistic direction. Detroit looks like Gotham should have: Dark, rainy, full of urban mazes. I loved it.

V for Vendetta was good but the GN was 100x better, Kick Ass was just stupid in every way except Hit Girl, The Croow doesnt hold up sadly and the rest are meh. My choice is Watchmen closely followed by 300

The Watchmen movie in itself is very ironic.

Its probably the most accurate CBM of all time, yet its reception is so strange.

I personally love the hell out of it, probs in my top favorite films of all time

Maximus101 - 9/22/2012, 10:02 AM
Watchmen for sure but it was close between 300 and watchmen and the first two blade movies. Seen dredd last night and it's crazy amazing. GO SEE IT

Ha1frican - 9/22/2012, 10:13 AM
@thewonderer ikr people constantly complain about cbm accuracy, and say how amazing Watchmen is. Then the film version is almost panel for panel identical and people give it shit. i don't get it

Ha1frican - 9/22/2012, 10:15 AM
@IronFan93 idk if it needs to be R rated but i would love to see LC in the MCU. Common (if he beefed up) would be my choice for the role

The people giving it shit aren't necessarily the same ones complaining about comic book accuracy. ;-)

Im not complaining because it didn't bother me at all but watchmen had a completely diff ending. I hear a lot of harps about that

I gotta say Blade the first two films helped pave the way for a resurgence of cbm's especially Blade 2 the fact that they were rated R were awesome.

Watchmen was a great film. For the people saying it was too long or they couldn't get into it: You probably know very little of the Watchmen and that's why you didn't like it. I suggest reading the books first then watching the movie and maybe that will help you understand it a bit more. Yeah the ending is different but the story in the film did the books justice. Very good CBM. Probably in my top 6 or 7.

1. Blade
2. Daredevil: R-rated version
3. Watchmen
4. Sin City
5. A History of Violence

Not sure why people complain about the ending of watchmen, if any of you are familiar with the comics then you know it had to ut had to be changed from the comics.

thejon93rd - 9/22/2012, 11:25 AM
I like the ending to the movie better than the comics, but I loved the comics more than the movie. Still, the movie's a beast. For the scope of it all and the amount of characters at the centre, I appreciate the fact that Snyder was able to make it work with some great performances and amazing visual effects. Great film.

My issue with Watchmen was casting. Perfect on Comedian and Rorschach, and then just massive floating turds on the rest. Ackerman tried to portray sexy and failed and was wooden. Goode couldn't keep his accent from coming and going. Wilson was just mediocre, to the point I cant understand why so many want him to play Ant-Man. Also Carla Gugino was perfect casting
Number1Wolverine
Number1Wolverine - 9/22/2012, 12:11 PM
Damn, that's a tough list to pick from. Hmm, after some thinking I would say my top five would be The Crow, Kick Ass, Blade, Sin City, and Wanted.

AlexDeLarge87 - 9/22/2012, 12:17 PM
I voted The Crow.

But gotta say that in that list there is many good ones. So it was hard to choose. But The Crow has that nostalgia feel which was the reason i chose it.

You can tell this is a board of kids when an overrated dumbed down movie like Watchmen dwarfs films like History of Violence, Ghost World, American Splendor and especially Road to Perdition.
drykillogic22
drykillogic22 - 9/22/2012, 12:26 PM
Blade and The Crow..The rest either are shit or barely real CBM's...And as for Watchmen, I yawn everytime I hear the title.
Maximus101
Maximus101 - 9/22/2012, 12:34 PM
@ramonsuarez don't start, all the threads were peaceful without you lately.

I dont disagree with anything, Id just like to point out that I think that the Road to Perdition is extremly underated
