I think so far, only Ironman has managed to capture the true spirit of the source character. The next best, Spiderman looks extremely faithful, but much of his personality was completely forsaken.
In fact, most of what I hear about marvel comic movies is how *unfaithful* they always are. I mean, look at X3, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, Punisher...

DC's well on it's way to redeeming itself. Batman Begins, and The Dark Knight are the most faithful comic movies to date. At least, that I can think of. Green Lantern does one further with Geoff Johns as it's exec producer (I could only wish that Simon Furman had that kind of imput over the TF movies).

At least with the more recent films, I think both have done well in keeping with their respective source materials (Superman Returns aside). The trick here is to define which source material you're using for comparison.

Of course, these are movies, not comics, and they have their own universes. As far as I'm concerned, as long as the filmmakers get the basics right, I can usually roll with whatever else they change.

The GL figures, on the other hand, are weak except for Movie Masters.
