I'm going to have to agree with this one. I actually liked the movies so much that I went back and read the comics later. I found that while Sin City was an artisticly true representation in terms of the movie being captured from the comic in an almost frame-by-frame motion, V for Vendetta was an actual interpretation presented from ink-on-paper to something live-action-motion-picture.
By the way, I am starting to love these comic representation movies; they ARE a lot of fun.

'Specially when going to a movie with all sorts of geeks who grew up reading these comics, since I didn't have that pleasure during my childhood. My boyfriend grew up reading good old fashion American Comic books like DC and Marvel while I grew up absorbing a whole library of Japanese mangas. So it's really interesting to go to a movie made from a comic; it's more fun when the people you go with are excited about it.
I don't know, I can think of a LOT of mangas that I
wish were made into movies, but I can't think of any that would strike interesting to this community. Possibly maybe
Battle Royale, but I didn't read the manga and the actual original creation was a novel, which was made into a movie, then the manga, so I dunno, seems a bit off the subject. :P
How ya doing, buddy?
