Jesus fuck. THIS is what this board worships? Literally worse than Power Rangers tier garbage, and I'm talking about the old shitty show.

I mean I respect an artist that can try to go against the grain and make his own vision, sure. I liked Man of Steel for all it tried to do. But this thread is about the abortion-tier lack of basic technical filmmaking skill on display in Watchmen.

DON'T DEFEND SNYDER BY SHITTING ON MARVEL. I don't give a fuck about Marvel. It can go to hell and rot there for all eternity.

I'm talking about the horrid, shitty TV soap opera tier vfx that sound like they were desperately added to somehow make the scene feel interesting and not flat or stale as fuck when they realized the footage they ended up with and the editing they did just looks so goddamn trash, artless, and uninspired.

Maybe this film was meddled with, but it just reeks like something suffering from a distinct LACK of vision. Snyder keeps talking about how he cares about sticking to the original panels, but somehow this entire sequence feels like it was in desperate need of storyboarding.

This entire scene is frustratingly bad. And I'm not even going into the characterizations and thematic choices that Snyder made. Just on a technical level, this is trash filmmaking.

Top fucking kek. I'm not OP but Snyder doesn't restrict himself from anything. His movies are so full of plotholes and devoid of life.
>>
>>85630100
>>85630094

Maybe I wasn't clear enough - this is filmed and scored in a manner that's sickeningly similar to shitty kids shows. The sound effects in the fight video are especially garbage. They're mixed poorly, and more importantly, they're clearly laid over each edit to make the scene feel "exciting". It feels like a shitty Korean or Indian drama, and is a cheap technique meant to fool the audience into thinking something interesting is happening. To the second poster I've tagged, this is the DEFINITION of cookie cutter generic techniques.

Listen fucker, you can compare both of them and say one is substantially better or worse. The sound mixing is fucking garbage. So yes, it IS as bad as power rangers. If you have examples of God-tier kino-level sound mixing in the film, find a fucking link and post it here. But I bet all you remember is the opening song montage and nothing else, you brainlet. These two scenes. at the very least, are no better than TV show tier. If you disagree, prove why you're right, or fuck right off.

What an appalling piece of shit. Snyder needs to:
A: Stop Directing or
B: Spend more time figuring out how to translate the book's characters and ideas to the big screen, not just copy nearly every single image and line of dialogue verbatim.

This 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.

Also worth mentioning how awful Malin Akerman was. I felt most of the bad performances were down to Snyder's incompetence but i suspect no-one would be able to get a good performance out of her anyway.

the only times snyder is capable of appearing competent is when he has comic panels to knock off. The scenes in question were not in the comic, so they were entirely original.

I'm sick of there being no worthwhile threads and everything being brainless shitposting.

I don't take myself too seriously, it's just annoying to see almost any halfway decent or interesting threads get deleted left right and center while memes capeshit and GoT reign supreme p much 100% of the time.

Alright, gentlemen, time for a blog post:

I used to be a huge Snyder fanboy (what can I say, we were all teenagers at some point, I guess), until I watched Sucker Punch. I loved 300, Dawn of the Dead, and even the 3-and-half hour cut of Watchmen (although I liked the original ending better), so I was pretty excited to see what he could do on his own. What I saw was a disjointed mess of generic action sequences and a nonsensical plot that was shallow and edgy for no discernible reason. ut, OK, maybe he was just not at his best, I thought, let's see how he does with Superman. Man of Steel was one of the few movies I left the theatre angry about (that and Nicolas Cage's Next). Nothing had any reason or purpose. It was all mindless action shots and blatant symbolism. I was particularly annoyed by the Daily Planet crew getting all the focus. Without relying on the existing canon, why should I care about these people? I swore to never again watch a Zack Snyder movie, and have not done so ever since. Did not see Batman v Superman or rewatched anything he did before. Have no interest in Justice League.

And for the last time, this isn't about anything intellectual. I am not scrutinizing his artistic choices (or fucking lack thereof). I talked about how his film is a technical piece of shit for something made on that scale.

Just stop. What's disappointing is that no faggot has even bothered to try and discuss 300 or even Dawn of the Dead as films that at least were technically sound.

Film degrees are by and large for film criticism. I'm not talking about Snyder critically. I'm talking about just simple, basic fucking ability to use the tools of the trade effectively, which he clearly lacks at least in this film.

And goddammit man any thread that isn't capeshit has a one in ten shot of not being deleted by the mods in the first couple of minutes that it's up.

t. /plebbitor/ trying to make sense out of this heretical nightmare website

Snyder is a pure visual artist and he tries to capture static images (comic book panels in 300 and Watchmen, manga panels in Sucker Punch and literal paintings in MoS and BvS) in a moving medium like cinema. In order to face this almost impossible task he uses (sometimes abuses) a few techniques, like bullet time, onyric color palette, shaking camera + static camera zoom, that have become his signature and visual style. Does thia visual style works? Depends on the image. Watchmen has scenes that are perfect and unmatched in CBM movies, like the intro, Doctor Manhattan's birth and the death of that old man. Other scenes don't work as good, especially everytime CGI is involved. He relies too much on visual narrative when his audinces have grown to depend on heavy exposition because of the works of actual hacks like Nolan and the MCU's literal "why are you directing anything but insurance ads" directors.

Tl;dr he's not a hack but not a genius either. The most hit or miss director working

Can you think of a better way to convey that the Silk Specter is just a legacy "hero" going through the motions, reciting from rote?

JEH as Captain Cold. I'd watch that. I'd watch the shit out of that.

>>85637021
No, it's typically measured in box office draw and the esteem of your peers. Snyder's got both going for him.

He couldn't get to a billion dollars despite bmaking a film with literally the two most popular heroes in pop cultures. Fucking Alice in Wonderland made a billion. His non superhero films haven't exactly lit up the box office either, the one exception being 300. And which peers are you talking about? Has the hack ever been praised? I know awards shows are heavily politicized so I won't really hold it against him but he's never even come close to any kind of awards recognition either.

Snyder kind of missed the point that the heroes in Watchmen weren't supposed to look cool.

They were supposed to look like very much like people playing dress-up in funny costumes, quaint silver-age throwbacks in a gritty modern world. It underscored their irrelevance in a time where Manhattan exists.

Maybe start by having an actual actress play her instead of a wooden piece of wannabe eye candy. And when the line is "such an asshole," MAYBE don't have your actress read it like she's a high school bitch talking to a guy she hates in gym.

It wouldn't make much sense to have a guy rich enough to have a VTOL aircraft in his basement have a rough, ad-hoc costume.
>>
>>85638376

The costume doesn't have to look cheap, it's just not supposed to look bad-ass.

Nite Owl is silly looking. He has a gut, he's wearing tights, and has silly little round goggles and a hugely oversized utility belt.

He's not supposed to be wearing a Schumacher Batman costume. He's supposed to be wearing an Adam West Batman costume.

Spider-Man and Iron Man couldn't break a billion, either. Where's your thread about *that* "hack?'

Yeah, Cameton has praised him, as has literally everyone who has ever worked with him.

Neither of those things translates to going-through-the-motions delivery in the same way as a model who can't act does.

you are a nitpicking plebs who can't feel kino even if it fucked you up in the ass.
Maybe you feel this scene are flawed, even if they were that doesn't change anything at all about the rest of the movie
Now go back where you belong

I have watched Snyder's fans eviscerate people in literally every thread there's ever been on the topic, and this one is no exception.

I consider it quality entertainment watching self important snobs and pseuds alike get reduced to going, "LALALALAHEADCANONLALALADROOLINGRETARDLALALALASERIESOFMOMENTSLALALALA." And then they go all reductionist and start quoting both him and his fans out of context in such an obsessively autistic way that it makes everyone who reads their posts glad that fate spared them such blind, unreasoning idiocy and willfull obtuseness.

It never fucking fails to make me laugh.

Spoken like a true pseud. Haven't you noticed how quickly these threads always transition from "it's not shit, you just didn't understand it!" to "It's supposed to be shit, that's the whole point!" to "but marvel....". We get it; you're pretending to like something that's shit to get a rise out of people, because you can't get any positive reactions online or in real life so you make do with (you)s. You've outgrown comic books but you're intimidated by real movies and god forbid, actual books, so you cling to this overblown "what if batman got raped?" retard. We get it. We're all just very bored
