When it comes to comic book movies, all the attention is usually focused on the cape-and-cowl crowd. However, there are plenty of films based on non-superhero comics, and we\u2019ve selected a few of our favorites.<\/p>\n

\"Sin<\/a><\/p>\n

Sin City<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

In Robert Rodriguez\u2019s neo-noir anthology film, each chapter is just as entertaining as the last. The hyper-stylized aesthetic perfectly complements the brutal and gritty storylines featuring the unsavory inhabitants of Basin City. With a screenplay that expertly called back to the classic Hollywood noir style of yesteryear, \u201cSin City\u201d stands as not only one of the best non-superhero comic book movies, but as one of the best comic adaptations period.<\/p>\n

\"300<\/a><\/p>\n

300<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

The second film on this list is perhaps not coincidentally also an adaptation of a Frank Miller<\/a> series. Director Zack Snyder was in his peak form with this film, crafting a visceral and violent thrill ride that more than made up for any historical inaccuracy. Of course, the film would be nothing without Gerard Butler in the star-making role of King Leonidas of Sparta and the endlessly quotable lines he roared throughout the film.<\/p>\n

\"Scott<\/a><\/p>\n

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Another visually striking adaptation, Edgar Wright\u2019s tribute to classic video games and indie music is arguably his best film. \u201cScott Pilgrim\u201d features a slew of standout performances, with even the most minor appearances being memorable. With script filled to the brim with wit and humor and breakneck pacing, \u201cScott Pilgrim\u201d is irresistibly endearing.<\/p>\n

\"V<\/a><\/p>\n

V for Vendetta<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Any film penned by the Wachowski siblings is worth taking note of, and \u201cV for Vendetta\u201d represents their finest post-\u201cMatrix\u201d work. Rejoining the Wachowskis as V is quintessential villainous actor Hugo Weaving, here portraying a much more morally gray character than his usual stark antagonist.<\/p>\n
