What's the most important element for a comic book movie to achieve critical and financial success? Is it adherence to the source material, big name actors, the costume, or is it editing? While all of these things are key, I'm asking you, What's the most important?
The Costume:
example: Spider-Man Suit
Source Material
example: Watchmen movie was shot "almost" panel for panel from the graphic novel
Action
example: Kick-Ass had some of the most visceral actions scenes
Big Name Actors
example: Nolan's Batman franchise has more Golden Globe, Academy Awards,
and SAG award nominated actors/actresses than any other CBM
Dialogue
example:Sin City
Editing
example:Iron Man_"editing" i.e. the crucial story telling
tool that makes a movie cohesive or nonsensical
"Wow" Moment
example:Joker's Magic Trick
SFX
example:Transformers
The Villain
example:Magneto
