Right now, I'm thinking it is, and nothing really comes that close.
It was the most like reading a comic (of that era) in feel, pace, style, camera work, and plot I've seen.
I can understand why Raimi was given Spider-man.
That first crappy hulk movie by Ang Lee. Li?
shareDick Tracy is a moving comic all the way ...
shareWow, I forgot about Dick Tracey! I haven't seen that since it was in theaters and I was a teen.
I'll have to re-watch it, thanks.
Cough cough.... eehhmm.... Sin City?? Cough cough
shareI was coming on here to say Dick Tracy, too. I'd even go with Tracy over Sin City. Tracy has more of the feel of a comic book. Sin City's too self-aware (in my opinion) and is as much a parody of comics as it is a comic book movie.
shareYeah, I don't consider Sin City very "comic book" at all.
It was part of a much later movement (the "graphic novel"), and really doesn't reflect the storytelling of the format before the very late 1990's. Plus, it is an odd atmosphere that doesn't match much beyond itself.
I think Sin City replicated the Sin City book accurately, but from what little Sin City I've read, it's just not as "classic comic book" in its essence as it is "ultraviolent, hard-R parody/homage to pulp fiction magazines".
