In Reply to: Top 10 Science Fiction Movies of the 1990’s posted by Scott on February 14, 2000 at 10:04:33:
The only person that may agree with you is Todd McFarlane (creator of Spawn). The Spawn comic book is tons better than the movie or Todd's earlier works with Marvel's "Amazing SpiderMan" and his own run "SpiderMan" which are now very expensive collector's items. It's in his SpiderMan run where you'll see the "dark" themes that he'll later use when he starts up Spawn with Image comic books.Matrix should be number one on your list even though it heavily borrowed from "Ghost in a Shell", But Matrix, in everyway, it's better than Spawn.
Patlabor will never be better than Ghost in the Shell. But, you're right with it being worse than Spawn.
I agree that the Spawn comic books are better done than the movie, but then again the only constraints in the comic book are the artist's imagination and ability -- it's a lot harder to actually do a film and marry together live elements, CGI, foley and sound spfx, etc.A lot harder to get the money to make an $80 million dollar mainstream film for a character that has gone to hell too!
Spawn vs. Matrix - point is, any good SF coming out of hollywood these days is definitely comic book inspired. Too bad "graphic novels" are still considered kid stuff, just like bicycles are generally considered to be toys rather than alternate transportation.
Patlabor vs. Ghost is a tough call - both are excellent, though I prefer Patlabor myself.
