Year One was slightly under and hour long. I guess the comic must have been short. It was still a good story, but I suppose I felt that there could have been more to it.

Avaitor

Yeah, I wouldn't add movies like Persepolis in here, for weird reasons. I was trying to stick to super hero stuff mostly, but Scott Pilgrim makes the cut since the movie just screams "comic book" in every regard.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

But what makes the difference between superhero movies and regular films that happen to be adapted from comics?

Avaitor

Eh, I don't know, I just don't feel like ranking any non-super hero comics into this list. Probably because it'd take a lot longer to think of other movies I like that are based off of comics or graphic novels, and whether or not I should count manga.

Still not big on Scott Pilgrim. Probably won't ever be.

If it makes you feel any better, my friend was obsessed with it for a while.  :sweat:

I've only ever read the first 2 volumes of the comic for Scott Pilgrim. I thought it was pretty good.

Spark Of Spirit

Oh wait, would TMNT count?

Because if so, I still really like the first movie.

I still don't understand how anyone who enjoys video games, comics and nerd culture in general can't love Scott Pilgrim. It's one of the few pieces of work where pop culture references make the whole thing, and don't detract from anything.
