You know what video games and comic books have in common? Give up? We think it's the fact that both have had the misfortune of having some of the worst movie adaptations ever. Luckily, we have the ability to tell our own stories in CoX -- and hey, budding machinimators can use this world to create their own superhero or super villain movies.
So for all you movie fans, comic fans, and perhaps budding machinimators out there, it's time for the last round of CoX prizes. This time we're giving away a 60-day game card, and one of the truly amazing CoX art books that came with the Collector's Edition of the game. There's only one catch (well, okay, outside of the official rules which say you have to be 18 years old and a US resident) -- we want to know what you think the absolute best comic-book movie adaptation has been to date?
Leave your opinion in the comments by 8:00 PM EDT tomorrow, and you could win. Far better than sitting through bad comic-book movies, no?

To me, the best adaptation has to be the original Superman movie with Christopher Reeve

The best: Blade.

That's so hard to say, I mean, after The Shadow and The Phantom? What about Judge Dredd?
Honorable mention has to go to Mystery Men.
Darkman was fantastic. Was that a comic book or movie first?
The Tim Burton Batman? Sin City? Blade?
Think I'm I gonna have to go with a new classic. Constantine. Kick @$$. Peter Stormare as the Prince of Darkness. Frickin' awesome! Yep, Constantine is my answer.

Well, while I liked Transformers, spider-man, batman and their ilk, I must say the X-man movie was pretty awesome.

Well, the first two X-Men movie had me absolutely pants-wetting happy. Then the third movie had to go and give me a nice big wedgie.

Sorry guys/gals... The Punisher was the worst, and I think Sin City was pretty stellar as a graphic novel to movie...
