nazi man?

No its not.... It says so in the credits it was created by Tarantino and Uma Thurman. The movie is based on cheesy martial art movies back in the 70's.

Erm, not it isn't.

Yeah but this is Watchmen dude, how can u mess up Watchmen?
-
True, but I've heard about some of the adaptations being just flat-out bad. Like From Hell.

Well I wouldn;t say his movie adaptations sucked. They were different from the graphic novel. But, that;s only to be expected. I mean V for Vendetta, it works for a book to have an unclear hero or a villian with redeemable characteristics. However, for a successful movie things need to be more clear cut, also very few movies can pull of the inner dialogue, roughly 75% of the dialogue in a comic is going to be internal, which adds to mood. In a movie however you would just have alot of "Noise".

See, I've been saying this to my friends for a while: Take the two most prominent writers of comics, Frank Miller and Alan Moore. Even though I love FM, Moore is just a much better writer. Yet, both movies based on FM comics were awesome while Alan Moore's adaptations sucked. This is the last chance for one of his movies to be awesome. Otherwise, he'd use his Moore-Magic to destroy all copies of the film and step himself out of reality forever.

It been awhile since I;ve watched kill bill, but I recall somewhere in the credits it being inspired by a graphic novel. Then again inspired is always a loose term. Oh and another fun fact they did actually make 2 swamp thing movies, and they were pretty bad.
-
Are you sure? Tarantino usually writes his own stuff.

I hate to burst your bubble but Kill Bill is a movie based off a graphic novel series.
actually by saying that,, you are the looser,
