I watched it and I'm a man.

It's the best capecrap (sorry, I don't swear) film, but that's not really saying much.

He understood your manchild comic book perfectly fine and he improved upon it.

Second best capeshit and Snyder's best film

One of only 2 or 3 good Snyder movies.

>>82718936
Is easy the best Snyder film (his other movies beside dawn od the death are garbage tier) and easy one of the best capeshit of all time.

The truth about Snyder is this: He is a good director when he adapt acclaimed graphic novels because the graphic novels are indeed good. When he tries to be creative, usually his vision of what is cool and deep is shit.
>>
>>82721587
he dint undestand the comic, but is ok
>>
300 is better than Watchmen in every conceivable way.
>>
>>82721587
He completly missed the point, but it added one more ironic layer to the thing and actually worked out since Watchmen are deconstructionist shit anyways
>>
>>82720929
>It should have been a 12 ep tv series thou
I agree but there is "The Ultimate Cut" version which is like 3 hours and 45 minutes long which comes pretty close to the book and is quite good. I watched the theatrical cut after and didn't like it at all. I can see why bookfags didn't like this movie if the yonly saw that version.
>>
>>82721587
He didnt get it at all but its ok, he adapted it well to be an entertaining viewing experience but devoid of the commentary and deconstruction of the original.

Pros

>dat cinematography
>acting is pretty good
>decent pacing

Cons

>lacks commentary
>lacks the satire of the graphic novel
>most of the best visual moments are just redone versions of the comic panels
>the soundtrack makes no sense, especially for Comedian's funeral, because "The Sound of Silence" isn't a sad song
>the acting is good, but the interpretations of characters like Dr. Manhattan are misinformed
>the film seems to have a violence fetish and is overly violent for no real reason
>the opening scene spoils some of the movie
>a lot of the cgi looks bad now
>the lack of satire makes the movie depressing as fuck instead of optimistic

It's clear Snyder doesn't understand Watchmen. The graphic novel is actually deconstructionist, yet, optimistic. The movie is just hollow and bleak.

This is like every internet comment about a movie summed up in one post.

Those reasons are dumb. You can have legitimate problems with this film but "squid" and "missed the point" aren't them.

That's because Hollywood is too chickenshit to show superheroes straight up destroying Al Qaeda, The Taliban, ISIS, and resource rich Wahhabists.

Pic or it didn't happen

>>82729526
The comic is a satirical deconstruction of the entire capeshit genre, the adaption is a stylish Snydervision™ flick, even though it's enjoyable it misses the point

Why does Snyder like BOYS?
>>
>>82729920
Since I haven't read the comic book yet I can't judge it myself but I think Snyder made that point in his movie. Of course it has his only possible style of making movies which is grim dark but it shows that none of these "heros" really is that great and that most of them despise humanity and they have their own major fucked up flaws.
