I think there really is a fine line here. I think some characters or superheros simply don't work in the big screen format. There is something totally hammy about seeing oversized creatures beating the crap out of each in the middle of a city but to read it in a comic book it feels totally normal!
Either you have to have the right director cast etc who really know that character and try best to keep it true to its roots or we're going to see a series of Marvel flops; Daredevil, Ghost Rider and the third installments of spiderman & xmen.
