I think it's safe to say that Sin City is the best adaptation in terms of style recreation there ever was. I'm seeing a lot of panels being created for film adaptation, but Sin City looks just like the comic comes to life.

[@kr6productions]

These are so awesome.

[@mikechirinos9817]

Yes, 300 (movie) is based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller based on History too, and the graphic novel retells the Battle of Thermopylae

[@Lorenzo12089]

Wow some of these I didn't even knew existed

[@ellcaf]

[@nachogroucho]

4:25 what movie was that, this a-bomb scene?

[@Rocky64]

Watchmen.

[@ValmisFilm]

@@Rocky64 Thanks! I have seen it, but I really did not like that movie at all. Maybe I should rewatch it and maybe feel different about it now. Back then, I think 11 years ago I was so disappointed in this movie. For me, it was total cr*p.

[@joefrantzen6609]

@@ValmisFilm I mean essentially Zack Snyder used (most) of the graphic novel's panels as storyboard for the film adaptation, but in doing so without taking into account WHY certain panels were made the way they were, it overall changes the pacing of the film and even in some ways the story itself. In the graphic novel, fights last one panel and are not given emphasis at all as they are structured within the same 9-panel grid. The whole book is presented that way to de-emphasize the violence (Watchmen is a largely a statement on the glorification of superheroes, so it de-glamorizes them in this way by making it nothing special.) However in the film, Zack Snyder's tool of slowing down only serves to emphasize something and tell you that this shot or scene is important and we watch the slow motion technical marvel of his, admittedly very good looking films. But in doing so it betrays the original meaning of the source material. So it is a very literal adaptation, but a literal adaptation isn't what works 100% of the time because the original graphic novel was written to be a graphic novel, not a film. There are tools that Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons use that are specific to comic book writing. They can play around with the size of the images, they can portray whole scenes within one panel, and hell even time works differently because you can go back and look at any other image in it that you want to see how plot points or visuals interlink and connect to each other. Film cannot do those things (though some have attempted it to varying degrees of success). The inherent fact that a film is in motion and a comic is still will completely change the meaning when translated.
