An arachnid who, exposed to experimental radiation, discovered he had the power to mutate humans into unique man-spider hybrids with a bite. His most successful subject, a freelance photographer, developed a severe sense of self-righteousness after his uncle died, and eventually his mania took over and ruined his life.

Now that's a superhero for ya!

Darn. Another superhero with "issues". And here I was hoping he was the fellow who saved Zelda from that frightfully awesome "end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it" little critter in her flat.

Issues? Spidey... pffft.... Rorschach, now THERE is a superhero with "ISSUES"!

Talk about having to pay the laddie $300 at the door.

Yepp.... but.

Worst. Movie. Adaptation. Ever!!!!!

Well, there are a couple that is worse. The Punisher movie with Dolph Lundgren f'rinstance, but not all that many.

Steven Lyle Jordan · 09-03-2009, 09:43 AM

Watchmen wasn't nearly the worst, though it wasn't great. You never saw the two Captain America movies. That's because they were so bad, the studios refused to release them. Now that's bad!

Wait, I take it back. The Spirit. I'd rather have watched either of the Captain America movies than that used douche!

Watchmen was an excellent GN, but it's a close call between that and Kingdom Come IMO.

Riocaz · 09-03-2009, 09:48 AM

Hmmm, maybe Watchmen wasn't so bad after all when one compares it to that list... It wasn't good, but not THAT bad

The only one I'll dispute is Constantine, which (even though it might have been a bad adaptation) was a great movie.

You also forgot the second Hellboy movie, and the Clooney Batman movie.

Riocaz · 09-03-2009, 10:47 AM

It's a terrible adaption. The movie itself isn't awful i'll grant. But it's not "great"

The fact that the lead can't act doesn't help.

Not seen Hellboy 2, but I will grant you the cloony batman, and raise you the val kilmer one.

Riocaz · 09-03-2009, 10:59 AM

Actually I've got my batmans the wrong way round you are right, Batman and robin was the worst film. Batman forever (the kilmer one) was slightly better, but neither of them was much cop.

Yeah, I was wondering about you...

But the Kilmer Batman wasn't very good, either. Whoever thought of putting Jones and Carrey together is an idiot. You can see that Jones' performance is off; he was forced into something more manic than he was comfortable with becuase he shared scenes with Carrey.
