Rotten Tomatoes recently did a rundown/ranking of all the movies in their database that originated as comic books or graphic novels. The top rated movie was PERSEPOLIS, and the runner-up was IRON MAN (I expected THE DARK KNIGHT, but that came in #3).
Although you can see the whole list here (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/comics_and_graphic_novels_vs_the_critics/1/), I thought you guys would be more interested the ten lowest-ranked movies. So here they are:
10. THE CROW: CITY OF ANGELS (1996)
9. DRAGONBALL: EVOLUTION (2009)
8. THE MOSTLY UNFABULOUS SOCIAL LIFE OF ETHAN GREENE (2006)
7. APPLESEED (2006)
6. WHITEOUT (2009)
5. VIRUS (1998)
4. SUPERGIRL (1984)
3. SON OF THE MASK (2005)
2. STEEL (1997)
and the worst comic book based movie of all time, according to the critics, is
1. YU-GI-OH: THE MOVIE (2004) (I didn't even know this was a comic book first)
I haven't seen any of these movies. Should I?
I love Supergirl !
Why do some of my faves appear on these lists ! :question:
I also enjoyed Son of the Mask.
Steel was rubbish though.
I kind of liked Crow: City of Angels. It ( and the rest of the follow-up straight to DVD/Sci-Fi channel) movies don't hold a candle to the first Crow movie, but that doesn't mean it was all that bad. Plus, one of the Power Rangers plays a villianess in the film. That alone makes it worth seeing once.

If she does, I hope it Kimberly, the Pink Ranger... :teddyr:
Nope. It's Truy Trang-the original Yellow Ranger. And while she doesn't get naked, she does where this strange bondage-esqe outfit.
HOWEVER..this leads me into another bit of film trivia I recently learned. In Not Another Teen movie the foregin exchange student who is always walking around in the buff -She was also a Power Ranger from a later series.
where is Catwomen and Batman and Robin?
Appleseed doesn't belong here, it's good and based on a manga.
Any no reff to batman and robin? This list is worthless....
BTW, the worst SH movie was superman 4, and it's not even on this list... :lookingup:
And you should definitely see "appleseed".

I haven't seen any of these movies. Should I?
lol... I do agree with Supergirl... but I do question most of the movies on the list... YU-GI-OH is a CCG [collectable card game, for those that dont know] I dont see how its counted as a comic book... Son of the Mask seems like a comic book movie but I really think it was a comic book after the effect... THE CROW: CITY OF ANGELS (1996) and Virus (1999?) gee... I would think those were after the effect... [otherwise it would be logical that Phantom Menace would be on this list too]
I'll write my 10 worst list...
Ok my top 10 worst comic book movies...
This list is based upon comic books/characters that were turned into movies and failed.
10. Batman & Robin (1997) [Many may think this movie should be number 1] This movie fails because Joel Schumacher was attempting to mix Tim Burton's stunning visual world of Batman into a campy Batman TV show of the 1960's, and what becomes a mess that almost nobody can figure out the intent. Actually, it took a diehard Batman fan to explain to me the intent.
9. Barb Wire (1996)... Pamela Anderson cant act or strip... [actually I leaned that woman in the 1990's cannot strip; so why do they try?]
8. Popeye (1980)... Ok, this maybe odd but I often feel a little indifferent about the Popeye. I want to like the movie and its not often actors can pull off the cartoon image without major special effects. The problem I have is the story, its like a chaos mess without even a hint of direction. It's almost like the characters spend too much time in the dressing room without reading the script. Maybe there is a script and then again maybe Robin Williams was just improving... [wow I've almost lost all hope for Robin Williams... but that was before he did Good Morning Vietnam... and most of his movie before GMV are hard to watch]
7. Superman (1978)... Superman is good movie that decides to play God. The reason why its placed on number 7 or even on my top 10 list is because Superman is also a typical comic book movie... where the Director/Script seems to remake the comic book character instead of presenting them as they are actually based, which usually means giving them more power or altering something. Yep, my personal b***h is Superman's ability to *Turn Back Time* talk about Godly powers!
6. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)... The only thing comes to my mind is Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman needed the money.
5. The Return of Swamp Thing (1989)... OMG, Do I really need to explain this one?
4. Supergirl (1984)... The only thing that confuses me is her knowledge of being related to Superman... Actually there is much more then that and I just wonder why, why am I watching this movie.
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991)... This one anger's me because the movie was written by b***hing mothers that has never seen or read the comic book and didnt like the violence in the first film. WOW, when I was watching the making of the film and the filmmakers explaining why the change... my mouth hit the floor.
2. Ri¢hie Ri¢h (1994)... What maybe an interesting idea seems to be made to cash in the the Home Alone Success. Many early 1990's kid movies seemed to follow this direction.
1. The Punisher (2004)... wow its sad that the Dolph Lundgren 1989 version is has more action, more violence and even more true to the comic book character then the 2004 movie, and his movie should of been called Louis Gossett Jr. meets the Punisher.
Movies not picked...
Catwoman (2004)... I dont think it's as bad as many say.
Masters of the Universe (1987)... Is bad but not by intent and becomes fun to watch
Howard the Duck (1986)... It's almost like the comic book, also the romance between the human and a duck is a classic!
The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)... is a movie based on the inside joke of Cabbage Patch Kids and they were stickers... what do you expect?
As a bad movie fan, I think the two best films on that list are Virus and Supergirl. Both are enjoyable in their way.
Not sure why APPLESEED shouldn't count because it's based on a manga... how is a manga different from a comic book or graphic novel? They explicitly say manga's count in the intro.
I assume Yu-gi-oh must have been a manga before it was a card game. Who knew? Still, I agree that one probably shouldn't count, because the game took on a life of its own and the movie was clearly inspired by the game.
If you take out YU-GI-OH the next lowest rated on the list would be GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES.
SUPERMAN IV, CATWOMAN and BATMAN & ROBIN just missed the bottom 10, they were all bottom 20.

What's funny about Yu-Gi-Oh is the manga is, ah, a little different. I found this out after seeing one bit in it where Yugi (the lead character) causes a guy to be doused in whiskey and then he lights him on fire. Yugi also causes several characters to go permanently insane.
Yeah. They changed it in the anime some.

Going to have to disagree here. TMNT III is more deserving of that spot.
On the list in general, I'm going to have to call crap on it since it doesn't have Lady Death or The Spirit anywhere.
I liked Lady Death and TMNT II. :question:
I agree with InfoGeek that TMNT III was the worst.
I'm a little worried about how many films I like end up on 'worst' lists... :bluesad:

It hard for me to believe that Superman IV or Batman & Robin cannot make the top 10 worst superhero list... Although... I hold big budget films/or movies with good actors at a higher standard... They shouldnt suck! [Superman IV and Batman & Robin has no excuse]
Catwoman... When I seen it, the movie seemed like a typical comic book hero movie, it didnt make me feel that I'm loosing braincells nor did it made me upset... That could be because I never actually cared about the character or that catwoman was a second rate superhero [like Daredevil (2003)] and I wasnt expecting this to be something like Spiderman or Batman. Personally I'm not sure if the Razzie was generated to get people to see Catwoman or that the Feminist just dont like the idea of a sexy superhero.

anyway what ruined part 2 for me is knowing they complied with a bunch of mothers that never seen the comic and thought the series was a toy generated series.

HAHAHAHA!! :bouncegiggle:
So true about Phantom !
How can anyone take him seriously dressed like that !
Tank girl was a lot better than most people give it credit for.
I think it captured the chaos of the comic pretty well, it just needed a better budget.
Dredd had the opposite problem, they had the budget but not the character. I did really enjoy the first 15 mins, but once his helmet comes off, that ain't Dredd. And that was just the start of the problems...
As a sci-fi action film, I can enjoy Dredd just fine.
I think I was lucky that I saw the film as a kid, before I read the comics. If I was a Dredd fan
before I saw the film, I would've been very, very disappointed.

It wasn't a superhero list, but included anything that originated as a graphic novel (even if it was a drama. One of the highest rated movies was AMERICAN SPLENDOR, and the top rated was PERSEPOLIS). I think if we whittled it down to just superhero-type movies people would be happier with this list. It would look this:
10. JUDGE DREDD (OK, Doggett won't be happy with that)
9. THE SPIRIT
8. BATMAN & ROBIN
7. CATWOMAN
6. SUPERMAN IV
5. ELEKTRA
4. THE CROW: CITY OF ANGELS
3. SUPERGIRL
2. SON OF THE MASK
1. STEEL

I think you should take out Supergirl and put in Punisher War Zone.
Supergirl is a great fantasy flick.
And replace Judge Dredd with Condom-Man.
Sorry, I mean The Phantom.
Rev. Powell ~ that's very hard to factor since nearly every flick has a comic book...

lol... I was trying to be silly...
Although I do remember owning a Return of the Jedi comicbook about a month or 2 before the movie hit the shows. I know it's not a movie based on a comic book but they do sell comic books based on the movie sometimes a few months early to push the hype and therefore they can be considered movies based on comics since they are first... although in reality its not.
I choose to pick superheros since I known they as established themselves as comic book characters and the movies are based upon the comic book.
Well I personally think they've left some off the list...where's Captain America (1990)? Honestly I think most of the TV films are worst or at least rival to anything on that list - "The Incredible Hulk Returns", "Death of the Incredible Hulk", "Trial of the Incredible Hulk", "Captain America" (w/Reb Brown), "Captain America 2: Death Too Soon" (w/ Reb Brown and Christopher Lee!), "Doctor Strange" and the couple of TV films edited from the 1970s "Spider-Man" TV series - that said I have an amazing high tolerance for superhero films - I think the worst should probably be STEEL though..I think I'm likely in agreement with that. I especially hate too though when they severly change an original character as they did with CATWOMAN and also I'd argue BARB WIRE. That said, of those mentioned, I did particularly like at least on a guilty pleasure level - JUDGE DREDD, THE PHANTOM, TMNT II, SUPERMAN IV, SUPERGIRL and RETURN OF THE SWAMP THING. Heck I even recall enjoying TMNT III?! I also like practically every TV Movie I mentioned above. I even liked CAPTAIN AMERICA (1990) on some level and the unreleased FANTASTIC FOUR 1990s film.
I thought Virus was a fairly good movie.
I've never seen TANK GIRL, but I heard it was pretty bad.

You must see it retro; it's a fun movie!
So what makes a movie based on a comic book 'bad': is it bad if it fails to be a true representation of the comic, or is it bad if it is simply a bad movie? I have no idea what Tank Girl was like in print, but the movie in itself was enjoyable.

I totally agree that the movie needs to fail the representation of the comic to be totally bad. The reason why I chose Superman (1978) although its a good story it doesnt represent the comic character of superman... (unless there was a story of him able to reverse time by turning the world backwards). Second I place big budget films and strong actors at a higher standard because they have *no excuse* to fail... The reason why I didnt pick STEEL is because the main character is Shaquille O'Neal (a basketball player) so I dont expect him to know how to act nor do I expect the movie to be good at the first place.
As for TANK GIRL...

I find it a joy to watch and Lori Petty actually does a good job in playing the comic book character.
The character of Superman was correct in my book.
Yeah, the end was stupid, but that iasn't going to taint the whole film ! That was just lame resolution to the story, it was also not intended for the first film.
The character was fine. Superman didn't kill people, he wasn't violent, sweary, sexist, racist. He still came from Krypton, he was honest and just a nice, humble guy.
Anyway, he could fly Super-fast around rthe Earth if he wanted ! That is something he could do ! Time going backwards because of it is a fantasy element and no reflection on Superman's character.
Watch the Judge Dredd film if you want to see a character that has nothing to do with its comic counter-part. Dredd gets fired 20 mins into the film ! He's not even a Judge anymore ! At least Superman is Superman for the whole film, not just the opening !!!
I like the Dredd film as a film, but as an adaptation, it has to be the worst. Superman got pretty much everything right.

lol... I've thought it was stupid when I seen the movie in the show (I was 8 years old in 1978) and I still think the idea was too stupid for a BIG BUDGET FILM.
For Judge Dredd this was a mistake on Walt Disney for looking for a "face" actor and Sylvester Stallone for not knowing who is Judge Dredd. Although, the movie was entertaining and the action/violence was great... especially since it was rated R... Also he didnt do anything silly like turning the world backwards to reverse time.

But the idea doesn't reflect the character of Superman. He still is Superman.
Dredd wasn't Dredd.
Dredd didn't do anything silly ?
I knew you'd say that. They gave him a silly catchphrase !
They gave him a love intrest ! Judges don't have partners... They're married to the Law !
They gave him a face ! Something thats NEVER happened !!!!!
Worst of all, they gave him Rob Schneider !
There was even a trial in the film ! The whole point of Judges is that they abolished trials, they're supposed to act with instant justice ! Which means no courtroom !!!!!
Most of the Superman movies have a "aw c'mon" moment. Like Skull mentioned, turning the earth back in time is really stupid. If anything it would probably destroy the earth wouldn't it? Also, even if it was possible, it would negate everything Superman had done prevoiusly wouldn't it? Such as saving those kids on the bus falling off the Golden Gate Bridge. Sigh...I've proven again why time travel doesn't gell well with me.
Superman 2's mind erasing kiss was another really big WTF moment for me. The movie was great until that moment.
Supes 3 and 4 had too many to mention. Though I will admit I have a soft spot for all the films in the series. I won't stand on a platform and defend them though.
The DarkSider ~ lol I'm willing to forgive the memory-loss kiss in part 2 because I really like the evil supervillains, also its not like spinning the earth backwards. Although, I think part 3 was silly, I really liked Richard Pryor [although I called it Richard Pryor vs Superman movie] also... his computer hacking skills base upon the 1/2 cent is an eye opener.
Doggett ~ Yes Judge Dredd isnt Judge Dredd and neither was Batman (1989)... gee he killed the Joker and had sex with Vicki Vale, but we forgive that movie becaues it was "good."
Like I'd said, Hollywood typically reinvents the comicbook characters [almost every comic book movie character has something not relating to the original comic book] so Judge Dredd walking around without his helmt isnt much different then Batman screwing around...
There's a lot for me to comment on here. But that would take actual work on my part, which I am loath to do.
So, Rev. Powell, you should watch Supergirl. I haven't seen it since it came out 25 years ago, when I did watch it in the theater. I don't remember it being very good. But here's the reason you should watch it:
(http://supergirl.astraldream.net/movie/Helen%20Slater%20as%20Supergirl%201.jpg)
Helen Slater does not have an acting career anymore, and she has been in a lot of very bad movies (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089470/). I'm still pretty sure I would watch anything with Helen Slater in that outfit.
Then again, she's no Lynda Carter. Lynda Carter dressed as Wonder Woman is pretty much an open invitation to my wallet.

Uh, yeah, except for people talking in vacuum on the moon, and the outlaws having some mystery finger ray power, and superman throwing some weird thing off his chest....
Really, compared to what they did to superman canon in S2, STM was very faithful.
Batman & Robin should definately have been #1
QuoteI totally agree that the movie needs to fail the representation of the comic to be totally bad.
So how does Blade and The Mask fit in with that? Both were very good movies that totally changed the ideas and characters of the comics.
First off, the Dark Knight should be number ! :twirl: I also hated Persepolis, I hate it as much as I hate Citizen Kane (So kill me if you have to!)
