Kurt Russell's Beard wrote:I disagree, Ross, about Watchmen being so inherently great that only a buffoon could fumble it. I see it just the opposite, and most others tend to in the comic industry. It's a complex, unwieldy story, it's a challenge to adapt to screen. I don't think that Snyder did a poor job. He of course went overboard in style and slow mo, but it's not butchery. It's just a literary type of comic with intertextual and po-mo lynchpins, and I can't even IMAGINE what a successful adaptation would really look like. I've never been able to imagine it filmed. Snyder largely shot the frames (in overwrought fashion), and the few changes he made (the source of the apocalypse) were better. I'm actually surprised he didn't fuck it up worse.
I'll give you that it could have been a lot worse. He clearly went for reverence and a frame-to-screen adaptation approach. If someone is doing that, it should not have the problems the movie ended up with. The main thing that pissed me off was the handling of Veidt. That character represents something very specific and interesting, but ZS's obvious-villain reading was infuriating.

I think this has real potential. At least it wasn't my own personal worst case scenario... M. Night Shyamalan.

Oh give me a fucking break... how dare you suggest MNS is even in the same universe as Benny Hill.
