But with those choices included, my vote goes to the "Blade", with the original "X Men" in a close second.
(BTW, there's an actual comic book movie section for stuff like this.).
actually many of those choices were a lot better than the over rated spiderman and batman movies,they should be up there listed.and actually Kal-el,many fans and critics have critisized the spiderman movie as bad as I have.

I'm sure they have but what i mean is the nature of the film that appealed to crtitics; it's character based story , it's tasteful score and it's good merge of good action and good content. I know that you hate the specifics of the movie like the 'organics' but critics judge superhero films on the fleshing out of the character, which Tobey Maguire did excellently IMO. agreed he's not that much of a whining pussy in the comics and is alot more funny and laid back, in compariosn to the film. In any case, I wont' try to convince you to like it coz I know you hated it. there were things I think could have been better in all the comicbook films ive seen but I never go to watch them thniking it will be perfect. The only way the films could be kept more closely to comics would be for the companies to employ several writers for each comic to come up with a set of rules. Little things annoy me like the punisher being set in Tampa when he's a hero with a great affinity with NY and small things like that. IMO Marvel should have struck a deal with only ONE film company(like DC did with WB) for all their characters and then kept each film closer to the comics.Too many director's want to show their 'own version ' of these characters(Ang Lee) which is wrong because these characters have life histories longer than most of us and should be kept as they are IMO
Yeah, it's about how ego-maniacal the director/producer is. If they don't care about the comics too much, they'll "go off on one" and start letting their minds WORK (baaaad idea).
People say you've got to make compromises when making a comic adaptation on the big screen. Yeah, make the compromises worthwhile and in the best interest of the movie, don't go making stuff up for the hell of it (Hulk/Spiderman)
Exactly. And the success and bombardment of superhero movies makes something quite clear:that no one can come up with their own original ideas with which to create a film, so they become part of major comic book movie and use it further their career. About Daredevil though, stick wasn't in the original origin so to speak although I would have liked him their too. But DD was made by someone who really wanted to portray DD the way he is.MArk Steven Johnsen loves the character himself and has actually admitted it didn't come out the way he wanted it. It was mainly due to the cutting out of 30mins of footage that couldnt be put in a 15 rated movie.The R/18 rated version apparently has more plot links, DD dealing with street thugs, drugs, child abusers(staple DD stuff).
But on the whole I totally agree with your points man!

Pretty sure they didn't make the list because they aren't beter than the ones on the list.
Well with acception to Blade 1 and of course the best of the all "Dick Trach"
