The Comic-to-Movie Adaptation Tournament
 
The last few years have seen some really good adaptations being released and hailed by the ardent comic fans. But how do they stack up against some of the all-time classics of the late 70s and late 80s? Let's find out.

Keeping this tourney strictly to mainstream stuff, I have narrowed it down to 81 selections. That's right - a short-and-sweet tourney. No animated direct-to-dvd ones (just to keep the apples/oranges comparisons out, sorry Massacre Man), or made for TV movies. There are very few exceptions which deserve to be in this (Superman and the Mole Men, for example), and so have been included.

I am still open to suggestions for last minute inclusions. Hopefully I didnt forget any summer blockbusters - if I did then apologies in advance.

First match in a bit...

The Mask.
Great effects for its age, adecent storyline, good music, scantilly clad Cameron Diaz back when she was super hot, and it can still make me laugh to this day.

Completely agree with Shiva on that note. :)
