Elektra is a pretty awful character in the comics, so I had very little hope for her.

Rogue really let me down.

Constantine - changing him to an American. Casting Keanu Reeves. sick

Swamp Thing in The Return Of Swamp Thing.

Halle Berry's Catwoman.

George Clooney's Batman.

- Anything else you can think of, comes second to those ones.

I liked the way characters were portrayed in:

Superman 1
Superman 2
Batman Begins
Batman the dark knight
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk

To me, every other character translated from comic books to movies has been crap. Total, utter, hopeless, steaming crap.

Mr. Rhythmic
Deadpool
Venom
Catwoman
Daredevil
Bullseye
Dr. Doom
Galactus
Invisible Woman
Silver Surfer
Mr. Fantastic
Lex Luthor
Two Face(Batman Forever)
Absorbing Man
Hulk(2003)
Spawn
The Clown
Ghost Rider
Mephisto
Blackheart

And so on.

Maybe fans of comics shouldn't go to the movies. They end up getting ulcers from all the stress. roll eyes (sarcastic)

Because a comic book is not a movie. Just like a novel is not a movie.

You're taking the source material from one medium and translating it to another. It can especially be a challenge for comics, who have storylines that go on & on for years. To take that and turn into a couple of two hour films, it's not going to exactly be the same. It's the filmmakers version of the stories.

If you just want walking, talking graphic novels on the big screen, stick to films like SIN CITY & 300. But those kinds of films (along with WATCHMEN) were limited series that had beginnings & ends. A different problem than trying to condense decades of history (that fans obsess on keeping intact) of an ongoing monthly book.

I had no problem with Affleck as Daredevil other than the fact that the costume was weak sauce and that Damon looks more like Matt Murdock and Affleck has more than a passing resemblance to Bullseye, back when he had hair.

I'm getting sick of all the whining about Deadpool. What was the name of that movie in May - Wolverine or Deadpool? Deadpool is just there to be introduced and be an adversary; he's pre-costume and pre-merc for hire in the Weapon X days. When he has his own solo movie he can get closer to how he presently looks.
And just because Marvel has danced around the issue for decades - about the connection between Logan and Victor - doesn't make it wrong for the filmmakers to have their own ideas and make then half-brothers. Never mind all the contradictory evidence & suspicions past about them in the comics; Marvel could make them brothers overnight. Stuff has been getting retconned forever.
It was because of the first X-Men movie, that Marvel did Wolverine: Origin, because they finally wanted to do his full origin before the movies did it for them. Well, they were too late with Sabretooth. Might as well follow the movie's lead, now.
And just because someone in the comics industry is really close to a source material, doesn't mean it will turn out well on the big screen. Most recent exhibit: Frank Miller's The Spirit. evil face sick
