Xenobreaker: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO GET THE SHIT WHOMPED OUTTA U CASHUS?!?! 11-Apr-2009 00:43:34
Amidst the anticipation for the release of Watchmen I got myself to read the Watchmen Graphic Novel. It's a great novel and I think that gave me a better understanding of how and why I felt after I watched the movie.
I will be the first to say that Zack Snyder is definitely a pro at eye-candy.
Is he a great director? I can't honestly say just yet.
When I watched 300, I watched it without ever reading 300 the graphic novel and I am not a history guru; This resulted in my two thumbs up for 300 because it was just plain sick! Awesome Eye-Candy.
Zack "copy + paste" Snyder is, to me, A kid with an amazing imagination and someone who has a great way to convert motionless comics to the big screen. But thats it...
So the gist of all my ranting is: there will never be a good comic movie as good as the comic itself. In the long run, choosing to read instead of watch always hits ya harder in terms of emotion and brain activity.
I still give Watchmen the highest rank in my book, because I do understand how hard it would be to play up to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons standards and it was awesome to see the pages come to life. A+ for effort and a great movie with a great soundtrack.
p.s. "No comic book has been the subject of more essays and serious literary discussion than Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen. " I wish I could say the same for the movie, then again its Zack "THIS IS SPARTA!" Snyder.
The following is the review from the eyes of a "fanboy" and a newbie to it all. Its the best review I could find that resembles my feelings (the neutral host) and the one with the least spoilers.
my suggestion DONT READ THE BOOK UNTIL AFTER THE MOVIE
