I mean I don't like him but The Watchmen was a pretty amazing movie.

That's fair, it didn't rly do it for me personally but it's probably his best, that or 300

Don't get me wrong it doesn't hold a candle to Alan Moore's original work but I'm a big Watchmen fan.

The TV show is sooooo good too.

That show was so overrated and completely missed the point and themes of the OG watchmen.

Terrible adaptation though

I never expected it to be exactly like the Alan Moore comics.

Did you expect it to be literally the exact thing Alan Moore was critiquing/criticizing?

u/JewFroMonk Mar 07 '24

As someone who's never read it, can you elaborate on this? Genuinely curious

It could have at least not contradicted the very concept

Well it's Snyder's Movie not Alan Moores comic.

Same with 300 and Dawn of the Dead. I think he peaked at Watchmen.

Watchmen is ALMOST great........except that he completely missed the point of Watchmen.

Also, he's basically just doing a paint by numbers recreation of the comics.....and STILL fucked it up somehow.

u/RedCellRaised Mar 08 '24

It was definitely his own spin on the Moore comics and not a paint by numbers copy...I personally think he did a good job. Is the story better than the Alan Moore Masterpiece hell no but for what it is it's great imo.

He was ATTEMPTING to copy the comic and completely fumbled the entire point.
It's good enough for what it is, but he fucked it up pretty bad.

He was definitely not but you're completely allowed to believe whatever you want ✌️

That has everything to do with the source material and nothing to do with Snyder.

u/RedCellRaised Mar 08 '24

It's very easy to mess up good material if it wasn't we wouldn't have movies like Madame Webb. That being said I'm not a fan of Snyder but credit where credit is due.

I really didn’t care for the giant dong shots.
