The novel was very much a product of the early 80's, before all superheroes went dark and violent and angry and 90's EXXXXXTREEEME!! The book also had 30 years of influencing comics and superhero movies, so some of it seems like Watchmen is ripping off stuff from other movies. When in fact it's the other way around.
>>-Spends too much time on violence
The book had some graphic violence, and part of the point of the novel was to get away from the BAM! POW! OOMPH! fighting that people were used to from campy cheesy superheroes
>>-Ozy to villainy, not sumpathetic.
This. They telegraphed him as the villain way too much.
>>-misses smaller cool parts of the book, shoulda been a mini series.
Apart from the squid, they did a pretty good job of interpreting the novel. Some versions even have the Black Freighter conic included as animated scenes.
>>-nipple suit
Again, Watchmen is meant as a parody of superheroes. So a Schumacher-like suit for Nite Owl and Ozy make sense.
>>-too much slow mo, other standard snyder problems.
Standard Snyder problems.
>>-visuals real dark, comic utilised colour interestingly.
True
>>+Jackie Earl Hayley is good.
Very true. I just reread the novel, and he elevates Rorshach above the book. Even the "you're locked in here with me" line is done "off-camera" and only mentioned in a text box.
>>
>>82481190
>> cringe inducing obvious soundtrack choices
You know a lot of those came right from the novel, right? It quotes a bunch of song lyrics. And the rest is VERY appropriate for a movie set in 1945-1985.
Except "Hallelujah." Fuck that version of the song, fuck the scene they used it in, and fuck flamethrower ejaculation.

>>82483504

>>82484058

>>
>>82485234
I know that, and that it's the "original," but I'm not a fan of that version. That's my personal preference only. I don't like the song choice. Playing "Hallelujah" when a guy can finally get it up is just awful, though. Why not play Handel's Christmas version? Too on the nose?
Honestly, my favorite version of Hallelujah is John Cale's version that was in Shrek. Probably because it's the first version of it I heard,

Silk Spectre's whole performance
The changes to the ending. I understand ditching the squid but having the attack be on the entire world instead of just New York was a needless escalation that made the idea of people coming together after way more unbelievable.
Ozy is just off. He's fine sometimes but his delivery isn't great for some of the major scenes
>>
>Silk Spectre was annoying as fuck
>Ozymandis was too much of a villain
>Pretty much all the B-plotlines from the comics were tossed out (in particular, the plotline where Rorshach drove the psychiatrist insane)

Jackie Earl Haley was easily the best part of the movie, but I also really enjoyed Jeffery Dean Morgan. Owlman was eh, but then again the purpose of the character was to showcase mediocrity, so it's good casting.

Snyder is a dumb hack who's obsessed with hella f*cking epic action. He didn't understand many of the key themes of Watchmen and as a result over stylized everything. Snyderfags will insist this film is proof Snyder is deeply intelligent and philosophical but all of the smart stuff that's in the movie is ripped straight out of the comics.

Nothing. This, V for Vendetta and Sin City are the only comic based movies on recent memory that are actually good movies. (okay, and now Logan)

And i am not talking about stuff like winter soldier which is good for a cape movie, i am talking about actually good, memorable movies.

Both main DC and Marvel suck ass and what SONY does is mostly shit. Logan was either an exception or a fluke we should all be thankful for but that's about it.

> INB4 but muh Dark Knight

Shut your trap Nolan fan. Yes, DK was kind of ok, at least the first and second one where but for all the things those nailed as stand alone movies they failed to capture a lot of what Gotham is and what Batman is because of that "real world" angle they used.
So far the only actually good Batman films are animation... the rest are just missed opportunities.

I remember the cool "Tell me now doctor - what do you see?" scene that was not in the original, but Rorschach also lost more scenes that anyone else - graphic novel focused on him the most.

Him leaving was what left of his inner autist going "RREEEEEE NORMIES GIT OUT". As he got a hold of himself and went back to behaving like an entity a few hundred tiers above humans should, he realized that objectively there is nothing more complex and interesting than human life in the observed universe, and him getting "tired" of it is nothing more than bitching.

This was one of the biggest problems with the movie. The second that Veidt started talking he seemed like some sort of bombastic Bond villain, and they made no effort to develop him into a sympathetic character; he was totally one dimensional. From the comic, I got the impression that he was genuinely charismatic and compassionate. In the movie, he just seems like a douche bag

True. It upfront admits it as it tears up it's progenitors' assholes in two.

Moore loves the medium in concept. He even loves the superheroes - in concept. Now, the capeshit industry in the state in which it was then and is now, he hates way more than Garth Ennis does - with a flaming passion.

I think this happens when people can't back up their arguments. I am not talking about objectivity about defining and evaluation criteria as opposed as just personal taste.

If we reach a consensus about the parameters to evaluate a movie we could easily solve this kind of issue... but that takes time and this is the internet.

It's easier evaluate by if the movie entertained you alone and just disregard every other opinion.

Marvel movies are fun but not particular good movies. I don't think that kind of reasoning could be applied to something like clockwork orange though.

Watchmen is a comic book

Only spergs who are too ashamed to admit that they like reading comic books call them graphic novels in an attempt to make them sound more aimed at adults than what they are.

War and Peace is a novel, so is 50 Shades of Grey. Just because one is trash and the other is a respected body of work, doesn't mean they aren't the same medium.

It objectively isn't though.

Take Guardians of the Galaxy for example. The intent for that film was to be an irreverant light hearted adventure film that borrows heavily from classic films like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and that's exactly what you get. You might not like the film, but it largely tonally at least acheives it's aim.

Watchmen is supposed to be an adaptation of a deconstruction of the superhero genre, but instead it's just another superhero film that gets more praise than it deserves because it so slavishly recreates so many panels from the comic, to a fault. The film misses the point of what it's supposed to be.
>>
My major problem with the movie was half of the characters

Rorshach, Dr. M, and Nite Owl were all played very well and consistent to the comic book.

But Silk Specter was literally just some hot chick, she didnt have the kinda badass bitch attitude from the comics. It was missing a lot of the romance between her and Dan, a lot of the turmoil between her and the Comedian. That made the final major parts of her story less powerful. It's like the opposite of what the book tried to do by making a strong female character and reducing it to leather bounds tits.

Ozymandias was terribly done. In the books he was looked at as a boy scout, everybodies friend, and an all around positive public figure. In the movie, he's basically Trump. Cold, fake, menacing right from the get go, leaving his reveal completely obvious.
>>
>>82483681
>starts movie up
>IVE BECOME SO NUMB!..

>>82491198
This. If memory serves, in the bit where Comedian interrupts their first crime fighters meeting and burns the map, Ozzy is the one who is all earnest about everyone banding together to save the day. In the film they give that to Nite-Owl. Though to be fair, it's been years since I read the book so I might be mistaken.

He should be a Richard Branson type, though less of a douche than him as opposed to a Trump type. A publicly charismatic person and all round nice guy because it gives him killing all those people at the end more punch

The Avengers was a better Watchmen adaptation than The Watchmen by Zack Snyder.
>>
>>82491198

Zack the Hack cannot direct women for shit. Ozymandias was gay and so that also triggered him.
>>
The guy clearly is completely incapable of directing 2 actors standing in a room talking to each other. Basically every single scene in this film is mis-directed; the violence and the sex scene were all gratuitous without understanding why they were. Everything is shot with these plain, lingering middle distance shots which snyder basically uses indiscriminately, cluelessly and exclusively when there's nothing else going on worth shooting in slow motion.

It's less that he's made a lot of bad choices than that he simply is at a loss as to how to direct anything other than a copy-pasted image from the book. He just stuck it all in front of the camera and hoped it would all work out alright. I lost count of the number of visual and verbal ideas that were directly transposed from the original but just didn't work cinematically whatsoever. So many hammy lines, awkward set pieces and sets/costumes that just looked ridiculous.

And the ending didn't work at all. Moore's ending was one of the best things about the original. The Film's ending doesn't even make any practical sense.I could go easy on the film for its impressive visuals but fuck it, visuals can't redeem a film this bad and i thought most of the film was an eye-sore anyway. Too many computer-tweaked garish colours and indistinguishably badly lit shots. The audio was awful too. Maybe when snyder learns how to be a director he can rely on more credible Cinematic techniques than simply punctuating his action scenes with huge dynamic range.
>>
>>82492625
Hahahaha good one anon

What makes the comic so memorable was how it utilized the medium to create a meta comentary on comics and their relation to the zeitgeist of the time. It also has so many connections between characters and important plot points fleshed out in the fluff material at the end of each chapter.
The movie doesn't have any of that. I didn't hate it, but its so inferior to source material that whats the fucking point.

Also, what kind of fucking hack needs three different edits of the movie to be released before you can have a definitive edition? Thats just poor filmmaking.
>>
It didn't need to exist
>>
>>82481154
It being cheesy as fuck broke it for me. The Comedian is just an edgelord killing innocents and raping Silk Spectre. It was so fucking cartoony. It tries to be "adult" just by including rape and gore while not using all the really interesting moral stuff from the comic.

Billboards and the back of deodorant cans don't try and tell a story though.

As for comics being literature? Ordinarily I'd say of course they fucking aren't but then if you look at books like From Hell, Sandman or Maus, it's clear that merely lumping them with funnybooks and Garfield strips just doesn't give them the justice they deserve.

Would the Comedian be better if all his lines were read in the voice of Carl from ATHF?

Of the many problems this film had, casting wasn't one of them.

What the fuck was Jack Sniper thinking?

>Snyder took a deconstruction of capeshit and turned it into regular capeshit. He's a fucking idiot and if you like what he did you either haven't read the comic or you completely missed the point of the comic.

all of the comics themes were clearly present in the film. Every single one.

Not even debatable.

Your shit thread

I liked all these movies, and really don't see what the Marvel fanbois have against him. If not a good choice for someone like Superman or DC movies in general being to gritty or dingy. Blame WB for wanting to go in that direction.

>kiddie shit

You mean the same stuff they've always done since their inception, and is the very purpose of their existence? Yeah, they're gonna keep doing that successfully forever.

Where was the theme that real life superheroes would all be fundamentally fucked in the head?

Yeah, 10 years of mediocrity and the same safe formula. We get it. Mass consumption means they are good.

The entire fucking movie is proof of that. Fucking Rorschach opening admits it that he is fucking nuts.

And yet Blacked Ryder made him the hero because he worships the Objectivist Jew

What about Silk Spectre? In the movie she's just a pair of tits.

Have you niggers even watch the movie recently or just going from you selective memory? I'm pretty sure you cunts did not even watch it.

Hi zack.

I read the COMIC no plural, Graphic novel. It is a fucking adaptation, and it was fine. A movie for a general audience that did not read comics or know what The Watchmen were. Its fine.

You know it was released in single issues right? The plural is the accurate descriptor.

unfairly panned by critics. low iq comic book readers didn't like the manhattan change when its easily better than the stupid alien.

its literally the best capeshit kino and easily synders best work.

>>82481154
the orginal novel is overrated and i genuinely believe if moore was a filmmaker instead of a graphic novelist his film watchmen would be incredibly close to snyder's product but with three times the amount of pretentiousness.
>>
>>82486518
I agree with all of these and think they're valid except the sex scene. i think novel Nite Owl is supposed to be lame and vulnerable, and that the sex scene is the both of them trying to not only vent their frustrations at the worls but also pretend like they're these big shots living a fantasy life. because of that, they fuck as they imagine superheroes (or james bond spies, or any action hero) would fuck. it's a farce. their entire relationship is a farce, evidenced by their adoption of aryan, fake personas at the end of the novel.

>>82487109
do you know how friggin cringey the novel is, posting normie-tier quotes applied in the most basic bitch ways?
the little closers at the end of each chapter are eye-rolling material.

Wew lad, you're no better than comic book readers. Hell, you're worse. Alan Moore's Watchmen is far better than Snyder's lobotomized version.
