I'll let y'all decide what heading to place this one under.

Best!Best! I laughed so hard! Just for the sheer magnificent audacity to steal the plot from Casablanca and have Pamela Anderson play Rick!
And seriously, (as seriously as I can when talking about, you know movies adapted from comics) put me down for the Dark Knight movies, Watchmen, (just perfectly matched the comic, pure awesome), and.... well those are the only "good" ones that come to mind. Enjoyed Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. did a good job of Stark. Oh, and the Hellboy movies were a blast! X-men flicks (or should I say the "Wolverine and Friends" series) get too busy. Just too many mutants crammed into 2 hours.
And worst, would have to be "Hellblazer", I'm sure you guy fans of the comic are blanking that out. I did for some time myself. It would have actually been pretty good, maybe even really good, if had been called anything but "Hellblazer" and if the main character had been called anything but John Constantine, and if that character had been played by anyone but.....the un-nameable one. I just wept, nooooo! anyone but him!

He was played by Hastur, the King in Yellow himself??

Actually the movie title is "Constantine". The script writers/directors/cast etc totally missed the point of the character from the start. As a supernatural thriller it's mediocre, but I agree, it was a horrible, horrible adaptation.
