Poll: Is Logan the best comic book movie ever made?

[vallorn]

Honestly I still prefer Dredd, that movie was beautiful in a dark way and really did not deserve its sequel being canceled. Logan is still a fantastic movie though, borrowing mature themes in everything from how the characters stories play through the movie to how they end. The action scenes add to this with a certain slickness in the cinematography that allows for bloody action and speed while not being the vomit inducing jump cuts or slow , boring action of lesser directors.

Well, it's definitely the best X-Men movie.

I would hesitate to say best comic movie though. Matter of taste I guess. I enjoyed it but I'm not really seeing what people are losing their shit over.

Heh. Would have thought a movie about an undocumented Mexican fleeing across the USA into Canada would have sent you into conniptions Zonty.

Watchmen is the best Comic Book movie ever made:


And I eagerly await the possible Watchmen HBO TV series that's been thrown around in the news.

I just think everyone is hyping up Logan because of the casting of Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewert. Top Tier actors who could never do wrong even in thier worse movies.

Haha. No. Hack Snyder missed the whole point of Watchmen when he made that film.

1. Stop calling him Hack Snyder. He's not a hack.

2. I read the book first and than watched the movie and I still liked the moive, and its especailly better in the ultimate cut.

Oh your triggered that they have action scenes in the Prison Riot and the Gang fight in the allyway during Dr Manhatten's interview?

Please, this is a movie you need action.

 

[Glongpre]

The best? I wouldn't say that, it is certainly top 5 though.

I am biased towards the Nolan Batman movies.

And Watchmen is a great movie, idk why people dislike it. I've read the graphic novel, and they are basically the same except the manufactured alien is replaced by a nuke.
Rorschach is awesome. And the music was great. Watchmen has the best intro of any movie, ever.

Which reminds me, I've been wanting to rewatch it. What is the best version? The ultimate cut?

And Watchmen is a great movie, idk why people dislike it.

Never seen it, but I have a feeling that it's at least partially retroactive. A lot of people don't like Man of Steel and/or BvS, so Watchmen also becomes worse in their eyes. Apparently a similar thing happened with Lucas after/during the prequels, that so many people disliked them, Lucas's work in the OT became suspect (apparently there were some who claimed that Empire was the only "truly good" Star Wars movie by virtue of Lucas having the least amount to do with it). And without doubt, I've seen the same phenomena applied to Shamalyan, where the movies of his later career (After Earth, Avatar, etc.) affected perception of his earlier ones (e.g. the idea that Sixth Sense was the only actual good movie he did, while the rest are all crap).

1. He's only made one good movie his whole career, and it was a remake, written buy the guy who wrote and directed Guardians of the Galaxy. He's a hack in my eyes.

2. The book was a satire/deconstruction of superheroes and Snyder decided it needs to be ACTION AND SLOW MO BECAUSE IT LOOKS KEWL!

3. I'm not triggered because it has action, I dislike the films handling of the themes that the book had.

Also, not every movie needs action to be good. That's the mentality a 14 year old would have.

Please 300 was a masterpiece of Cinema, the sequal was inferior in everyway without him and so is Watchmen. If anything James Gunn is a hack, Guardians of the Galaxy was absolutely nothing like how they were in the old comic books of the Silver Age, I am sure Star Lord is nothing like in the comics of the past.

And yes the action made it look cool, but the themes were still handled well especially that of Rorschach and The Comedian and Dr. Manhatten.

And the action changed nothing, in the book Ozymandias countered Rorschach by stabbing his sleave with a fork trapping him and proceeded to bash him in the face and than Ozy skillfully tossed a Plate at Nite Owl's face.

If the deconstruction was that damage because of the action than I just think it comes down to pure subjectivity. I think its pure nitpicking.

The action didn't ruin the themes, Snyder did by grossly misunderstanding the source material.

Also, if you think 300 is a masterpiece of cinema you haven't seen a lot of films.

See how easy it is to say things like that?

I have seen plenty of movies. I have seen the Godfather Epic edition all seven hours of it.

I have seen Lawrence of Arabia in it's entirety.

I have seen Citizen Kane and actually sat through it from beginning to end.

There Will Be Blood is my favorite Drama movie ever that outclasses' Citizen Kane,

Casino is imo Martin Scorsese's best film ever. Better than Goodfellas, Better than Taxi Driver.

I never said it was a failure of cinema, it's a failure as an adaptation of a amazing comic.

Its the best possible adaption we have if you factor the Ultimate Edition, and I read the comic first before seeing the movie.

If you want it done "right" than will see if that rumored HBO mini series is true. But I don't know how is it gonna replace actors like Rorscach's and the Comedian's.

whoa settle down there

 

[Samtemdo8_v1legacy]

I have seen Citizen Kane and actually sat through it from beginning to end.

whoa settle down there

I've also seen a bit of Casablanca and How Green Was My Valley (The movie that beat Citizan Kane for Best Picture)

I also love Al Pacino's best movies like Dog Day Afternoon and Scarface and Carlito's Way.

And the big Vietnam War movies like Apocalypse Now (the Coppola Director's cut), Platoon, and Full Metal Jacket.

Have not seen The Deer Hunter, Born on the 4th of July, and We Were Soldiers though.

I also think Mel Gibson's movies are great dispite the Historcial Innaccuracies.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

Definitely the best X-Men movie ever made.

Yup.

I wouldn't personally call it the best comic book movie because I really enjoy the MCU, especially Captain America movies, but it is a breath of fresh air. It's a comic book movie that doesn't even feel like a comic book movie at all and yet it manages to be fantastic.
