[Movie] Best Comic to Movie Transition

Sorry, but GTFO now.
Constantine had to have been the best worst transition. Tell me, how does a wiseguy/smartass/cynical British sod go to being a fucking American from California who says "DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE" a lot? Keanu sadly, was at his best in that film, but a lot of the changes, just to Americanize it, totally ruined it for me.
Still a good movie, but just... ugh.

More like disqualified for not knowing a thing about the Punisher.

The Punisher movie, while amazingly fucking good (for a comic book movies), had some major drawbacks.

A) His daughter magically had a sex-change that affected the plot in absolutely no way. Plus, a few series arcs in the Punisher (Especially Volume 5 (MAX Print a la Steve Dillon and Garth Ennis)) dealt with not only the loss of his wife, but his daughter.
B) The fact that they jumbled two (three?) different story arcs from 'In the Beginning' (him killing his family's killers) and Volume 3 (his place of residence/the weirdos he lives with/giving them the loot).
C) The lack of over-the-topness. It's apparent you haven't read a Punisher comic if you think that the movie is over the top.
D) The fact that MOST of the gore was cut out, entirely, to get a lame ass PG13 rating. I'm sorry, but I grew up reading the Punisher, it was not as violent as I had hoped. =/
E) Go read the fucking books.

At least they've greenlighted the sequel and Thomas Jane was saying that it will be much more violent and faster paced than the first movie (since quite a chunk of the plot is now out of the way). Here's praying for an 'R' rating and headshots galore.

Also, take a guess what my favourite comic book movie is.
Hint: Ends with 'unisher'

And sadly, I find myself agreeing with LeHah's movies and points for a change, at least when it comes to The Phantom, Ghost World, and Road to Perdition. However the last two, weren't really "comic books" (super-geekery) so much as graphic novels.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
