With the release of Watchmen, I thought it'd be interesting to see what people thought of other graphic novels turned into movies. I think my favorite graphic novel adaptation so far is Watchmen. Zach Snyder is freakin' awesome!!!

V for Vendetta and Wanted were pretty good. So was Sin city.

But Watchmen was by far the best. It got my vote.

Out of the ones listed, I've only seen V for Vendetta and Watchmen. Of the two, Watchmen was the best.

I don't really read graphic novels that much. why? because i got some manga to read 😀

I liked the graphic novel of watchmen but most of my classmates said it was terrible and stuff like that...And I can't argue otherwise as I decided not to see it due to their terrible "reviews" <----biased opinions but still

Most people just say it's "terrible" because they're too immature to handle a penis being shown on screen. Trust, me, you'll like it if you like the comic

I liked V for Vendetta.
I've yet to watch Watchmen. The day I went to the movies, it was the premiere. I didn't want to sit on the floor. : (

It was hard to vote for it over V for Vendetta and Sin City, two of my absolute favorite movies, but yeah, after coming off seeing it in an IMAX theatre this Saturday, I have to say Watchem left me damn impressed. So I voted for it.

Incredible movie, even with the blue penis.

And I haven't read any of the graphic novels, so my vote is based entirely on the movie.

Just peeped 300 on the poll.
Never realized it was a graphic novel. :\

It come second to Watchmen nonetheless.

I'm kinda surprised no one voted for "A History of Violence". That was a really good film.

We must find the troll...AND KILL THEM DEAD.

But Watchmen was the most faithful comic book adaptation ever. It just goes to show that you can follow the source material faithfully and still make a good movie.

Now if Hollywood would just fucking realize that by now...

Was it seriously just me who thought watchmen was horrendously mediocre? really? anyhow
Best graphic novel movie = Road to Perdition based on Road to perdition which is loosely based on lone wolf and cub. that movie was money.
