Rewatching Sin City, is there any other comic book movies that are this close to the source material?
Punisher Warzone, it's Ennis' max brought to life.

Rocketeer, aside from changing Betty's name for some fucking reason. The original TMNT is obscenely faithful.

People will bitch but this is absolutely true.
300 is pretty faithful, except for some persians being turned into disgusting monsters.

Watchmen
Dredd 3D. Maybe not in terms of visuals, but in characters, themes, atmosphere and spirit it nailed everything.

The only thing I hate about the original TMNT is that the turtles knew of Shredder's existence for all of 5 minutes before he was defeated
American Splendor
Ghost World

As someone put it before, Snyder knows the lyrics but not the music. He proved that you have to do more than just adapt the events accurately to capture what makes the source material worthwhile in a new medium

I would argue that Ghost World changed so much that it became a wholly new story. Still a great movie though and a GOAT comic.
I can't speak for American Splendor having never read the comic.
It adds a lot of stuff (like Durand Durand) and changes Barbarella's character and mission, but the movie version of Barbarella does a lot of stuff from the comic even using exact scenes every once and a while.

only not really

If you mean: "literally panel compositions slavishly imitated over and over, a film which would have served it's purpose just as well by being one of those "motion comics"" then, no.
Fritz The Cat is really close to it's source material, as is American Splendor but in an original way.

While we're here, can I get some opinions about Sin City 2? I've been thinking about watching it, is it worth it? I know the comic "A dame to kill for" was pretty fantastic.
