I dropped this I had no idea what was going on it was literally 'keep the audience confused: the movie' but not in a good way. I had no idea what was going on and dropped it towards the end when the blue guy goes to mars or wherever he went. What a load of crap it was.

So you're basically saying the movie sucks because you are too stupid to follow it?

Watchmen isn't a great adaption but I don't think it's hard to follow.

Yes it is, it actually is.

It's really not
Good adaptation does not mean use the comic as a story board

Decent adaptation and one of the better capeshit movies? Sure

Great adaption? No the story is pretty close but some differences and casting choices really throws off tone and characters
>>
It's very good yea, among the best. TDK is a bad movie, I get that many of you came of age with it, and it seemed substantial then, but there's nothing to it. It's sloppy, pretentious and lacks any depth or meaning.

It misses the things that made the comic so good by a huge mark, fucks up the characters and is just generally shallow as fuck take on Watchmen
>>
>>66791415
They tried to do the same thing that worked with Miller adaptions like 300 and Sin City

But Miller is already much more cinematic and his writing is better suited for screenplays than Moore/Gibson

>Avengers

I liked the part where the aliens all had a huge mother ship that if you destroy it, it kills all the aliens like in every movie with aliens in it. I also really like the part where iron man had to get over his selfishness and sacrifice himself to save the world, but he didn't because of course he lives. I also like how the Hulk magically becomes tameable during the fight. I also like how he punched something 1000 times heavier than himself to a stand still without himself actually moving. I also like how Loki's brainwashing staff power is reversed by going unconscious. I really like how Agent Phil was thrown into the story. He was an awesome character! Then they kill him. How sad! It really got the avengers motivated though! Whoo you go get 'em. Loki didn't see that coming.

I don't see the point of these movies really. Nothing special happens, they all won't die. The bad guy doesn't even die, civilians don't die, nothing cool happens besides everyone nearly getting killed but just barely making it out alive while doing some twirly back flip at 3094834 miles per hour and landing on their feet while tricking the bad guy into telling them all his secrets and then throwing in a one liner while making a heroic sacrifice to save the world with an awesome impromptu plan that involves 70 year old technology that instantly solves all the worlds problems by destroying an overwhelming evil force that we are all supposed to be terrified of. Hey retarded council in this shitty movie. Instead of sending a nuke at Manhattan why don't you send it in the portal? Actually just send 200 of them in there. Problem solved you win, the end. You don't need the avengers dicking around, or a trillion dollar aircraft carrier that flies and cloaks and is completely useless.

P.S. Captain America can't kill one guy with an assault rifle.
>>
>>66791485
True enough
Those are way better examples of good adaptations, Watchmen is something that is hard as fuck to make work as a movie but still Watchmen wasn't very good adaptation
>>
>>66789058
the only enjoyable part of this film is Dr Manhattan desu

watchmen lacked the depth of watchmen's graphic novel lol

Should you watch the first one too or can you jump immediately to WS?

Maybe BvS, but that's harder to tell

This one is 7,5/10 m8
>>
>>66789058
The US deserves another 9/11 simply for creating capeshit.
>>
>>66791703
The original is like a capeshit version of a ww2 movie, and is halfway decent. I like Cap as a character so I enjoyed it. There are a few story threads that carry over but WS is more about the very well choreographed fight scenes and set pieces.

if fucking anything all of that is 10/10 compared to all other capeshit. Watchmen is beautiful. Where are you going with this?

sounds right up my alley. i'll check it out too then... much appreciated anon

>thinks there is some absolute standard in according with wich a movie can be said to be good or bad.

Each person, because of his own personality and past enjoys different things more than others, this includes critics.
You like a movie over another because of something inside you that responds to what is in the movie.
Beyond that, all you can do is technically analyze the movie, the camera angles were this and that, leaned more towards this way of shoing the mise en scenes, the dominant colors were this and that, the character directing was like this and like that, the themes seemed to have been this and that etc...

No value judgments, just analysis.
>>
>>66792104
Where did anyone mention Watchmen in that comment chain? We were talking about Avengers which also has those things.

Avengers was also iirc the first example of a bunch of standalone movies being tied together in a 'final' movie. I can't think of another example of something that achieves this. And for this reason alone has a place in cinematic history.
>>
>>66792209
It is implicitly recognised when discussing film that we are venturing our own subjective opinions. If we end up going "well that's just your opinion, man" then there's no point even having this discussion.

Also this is 4chan where you are deliberately abrasive.
>>
>>66792547
Yes, you got that right. Having a discussion about "this movie is shit and this is amazing" is literally pleb and only for retards.
You discuss the influences, the themes, the underlying structure and oppositions...
You analyze a film, not say "its shit".
When critics do their shit they do it for readership, they have to make it controversial and entertaining. We dont.
