List by Ben Mather
Unconventional Comic Book Films
No superheroes on this list, no wire work and fancy camera tricks, just films based on comic books that offer something a little different.
Any more you can think of? Only rule, must be live action, there's FAR too much crazy anime out there!
How about Sin City? That was based on a graphic novel.
300 (although it uses plenty of fancy camera tricks), Cemetery Man, Ichi the Killer, Crying Freeman and Dragon from Russia.
The Losers.
Forgot about CM/DD! I'll add up the others too!
I was in two minds about Sin City, but I'll add it. No V though, was too Matrix-y for my taste.
How about the Hellboy films, or do you count him as a superhero?
Hellboy I'd definitely include. Forgot all about him!
Never noticed how similar the posters for Road to Perdition and Dick Tracy are! haha
Haha, yeah! Same machine ("tommy") gun, too!
It's like 'Road' is a gritty reboot of a camper 80's Dick Tracy
