A very shitty movie (arguably Stallone's worst film... and he's been in some very bad movies) based on a comic by Matz (The Killer) and Colin Wilson (Point Blank).

The movie is really bad (shit, the poster even has crap Photoshopping)... it's basically one long advert for Blackberry's phones. Just shameless product placement all around.

I have watched all this movies, but are the original comics any good?

>are the original comics any good?

The Blue is the Warmest Color and Road to Perdition graphic novels are good, and I think an argument can be made that they're better than the film adaptations (especially for the former).

As for the rest, they're serviceable reads—nothing I'd consider a "must read" but reasonably entertaining and decently crafted. The Bullet to the Head comic especially ends up looking like a masterpiece just because of how shit the movie adaptation was, but taken by itself, it's a fairly middling modern crime comic.

Also, I think the 2 Guns movie just slightly edges out the comic. Not because the comic is bad (it isn't), but because Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg seem to have more chemistry and charm than their comic book counterparts (I chalk this up largely to the art... Santolouco eventually became a better artist, but when he did 2 Guns, he still had a somewhat limited repertoire of faces, facial expressions, and ways of framing action and dialogue).

The 3 Guns comic (a sequel to 2 Guns) vastly improves on the original miniseries.

Thanks, mate. I actually wanted to pick up Road to Perdition and i guess i'll buy A history of violence as well.

Also, i can't think of any adaptation beside The Mask, since most normies don't know it based on a super grim comic book.

The Crow is another.

Barker Bill was a character used on the title cards of a cartoon anthology in the 50s that only ran in one region IIRC. Hands down the most obscure video game license ever.

It's got good relationship drama. I actually prefer the comic over the movie, story-wise. The emotional and practical stakes are much higher in the comic. While I enjoyed the film the first time I saw it, I found that it didn't stand up to repeated viewings for me (especially once the novelty of the "porn-y" love scenes wore off).

Movie based on a manga (yeah, yeah, I know manga is /a/ but I personally find the distinction between comics and manga as largely superfluous).

Not really an official adaptation, but supposedly, the screenplay for The Long Kiss Goodnight (a 1996 film starring Geena Davis and Samuel Jackson) was a rip-off of Bruce Jones screenplay treatment of his script for his comic creator-owned comic Somerset Holmes. IIRC, Jones even tried to file a lawsuit against the film's producers although nothing came of it. (Muddying things further is the fact that Shane Black, who is officially credited for the screenplay for The Long Kiss Goodnight, has stated publicly that the film bore little resemblance to his original screenplay and that his screenplay was rewritten by numerous uncredited writers without his knowledge or participation.)

Movie (very loosely) adapted from a somewhat obscure comic published by Canadian comics firm Aircel in the early 1990s.
