Definitely a comic book TV series, and an amazing one at that. So glad I sat down to watch it. Great humor from start to finish with enough twists, turns and action to keep you on your toes!

Fantastic Four (2005)
2005 | Action, Adventure
As someone who generally shies away from Comic book hero type films, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this. All the characters had their own air time and I liked the development of their super powers.

The MacPhersons never fail to make me laugh, and this comic strip collection is no exception.

Great Read
I have just finished this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys Norse mythology and any marvel fan who wants to know the history behind the comic God and his family.

Death Note
Having never seen anything about Death Note gives me a special ability to actually rate the movie and not berate it because it didn't follow the comic books. Even the comic creator liked the take. I enjoyed most of the movie and glad they chose Netflix to air it. The ending quite surprised me, and movies these days pretty much are easy to figure out. Comic book fans clearly don't like It, But at least enjoyable to the rest of us.

In my opinion, this was the best Batman movie ever made. The performances, the direction and sheer comical effects, truly grabbed the gritty nature of the comic book hero, for a late 80's production.
  
Shoot &#039;Em Up (2007)
Shoot 'Em Up (2007)
2007 | Action, Comedy, Crime
Very GTA plot to this movie. Great action but not much more to it than that. Acting was cheese, plot was just put there to have a gun fight. Main character was like he was out of a comic book.

The way the various stories cross over
The visual look of the film
Comic book comes to life
A very stylish film based on a graphic novel, the film has a largely monochrome look which works well with the comic element. The film consists of a few stories that cross paths in Sin city. All of them are very good as well as the main story piecing them together. Very original.

I love all her complicated-Southern-family books, but the protagonist of this one is a woman who makes a living as a comic book artist/graphic novelist, and also has weekly board game nights
Critic- Alicia K.
Original Score: 4 out of 5
