Nate's list of Worse Comic Book Movie Adaptations

Swamp Thing 2

I didn’t mind the first Swamp Thing movie too much. But the sequel pretty much mashed the entire concept up with the Power Rangers. Nothing good can ever come from that.






Batman and Robin

Everyone harps on about how the nipples were the worst thing in this Batman suck-fest. But even without them, I’d still give this movie a ton of crap.






All three Punisher movies

Okay, there are some decent moments in these movies. But still, there’s been three movies made about a character who you’d think would be easy to adapt to film. And yet all of them have been disappointing.






The Shadow

A great pulp-fiction character who deserved a hell of a lot better than this 90’s adaptation.






The 1980’s Captain America movie.

I’m not sure off hand how young I was when I first saw it. But even back then I thought it was retarded.






Spawn

A crap movie that was written by a crap writer named Alan McElroy, and based on a crap comic. At least the soundtrack was good.

- FYI, McElroy went on to write the screenplays for Wrong Turn and Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever.



The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

A great comic by Alan Moore, adapted into a movie so bad it’ll suck the life right out of you.






Judge Dredd

This one did hit some plot points that worked well in the comic. But the presence of Rob Schneider didn’t help things. And damn it, Judge Dredd isn’t supposed to take off his helmet. That’s part of what makes him Judge Dredd.
