True. This was a much better movie than it had any right to be. Best Moore adaptation

Me too! And using "All Along the Watchtower" in a film called "WATCHmen"? Or "Ride of the Valkyries" in Vietnam? Snyder is a genius, a true auteur!

The plot makes no sense in the movie. If the Russians had seen Moscow destroyed by Dr. Manhattan they would have attacked the US right away, even if NY or whatever got destroyed too, why would they give a fuck?
And in the movie The Comedian's breakdown makes no sense since he hasn't seen the island or the squid like in the book.

Reminder to fans of this movie and GN to check out Morrison's masterful Pax Americana issue of Multiversity. One of the single best issues in recent years, and the Captain Atom character has some great Manhattan-like moments. Note that this sequence makes sense from both L-R and back.
>Gregg Plitt played the Body of Doctor Manhattan
>Plitt was hit and killed by the southbound Metrolink Antelope Valley Line train 268 in Burbank, California, on January 17, 2015, while running between the rails. His death was recorded by the camera mounted in the cab of the engine.[6][7] After examining the video, police reportedly told TMZ Plitt was standing on the tracks, and tried to outrace the train when it approached, to prove the efficiency of an energy drink for a commercial. He was shortly after knocked off the tracks and out of frame

This is quite literally the best scene in the film.
As far as everything else goes Snyder is so damn tryhard with his slomo and music choices. Really doesnt fit with the tone of Watchmen at all but he made an interesting thing that exists on its own. He always makes interesting products that shit over source material. I wouldnt call any of them good but at least he makes stuff worth seeing.
>>67914705

I'm no expert on the structure of the Russian government and armed forces but isn't it mostly based out of Moscow? If you totally annihilated a large chunk of their power structure wouldn't they be too fragmented to attack anyone? Then by the time they recover enough to mount an offensive it would have been apparent that Manhattan went rogue and there is no more need for war.

It's cinematic shorthand. It's not lazy. Again, you're proud of yourself for seeing the originals, cute. But as the book was commentary on America/media, the film remained so. Of course Manhattan mowing down Viet-Congs would call for our most ripe filmic association, AN. Same with the war room. Moore, Snyder, are referencing our shared, collective media consciousness and all that they imply. This is capekino.

Maybe sprinkled in among other things but it still doesnt justify the film adaptation being made up of scenes stylized like other films.

>>67915481

>>67915481
He refused to watch it because they absolutely BUTCHERED V for Vendetta. Then somebody actually came and did his magnum opus, Watchmen, the most justice any story has ever been given in a cinematic adaption, and his stubborn, borderline psychotic ass refused to see it.
He has not yet made a comment on the actual quality of the film itself, only broad sweeping generalizations about his mistrust of hollywood.

Just making sure everybody knows copying the source material word for word doesn't magically make this a good or beyond mediocre movie.
>>67915601
>i don't see how this makes them a good or bad choices.
the movie was very much caught up in the cold war and the effect imminent nuclear disaster had on the psyche of the american people. paranoia, distrust and rebellion were staples of the era, these ideas were communicated quite well through the explosion of art and music at the time. all creative expression put out during while under this fog of fear of armageddon has a very unique feel and one could argue that attempts to recreate could be regarded as "super dorky and hamfisted"
>generally fit in with the mood
i can't remember them all myself but all along the watch tower has a bit of a pump up feel when they were flying off to the final confrontation. jimi is describing the effects of prison on a persons mentality and the desperation people have to escape, much like the characters were feeling they were part of something much larger than they understood. they were certainly rats in a maze, imprisoned in a machiavellian fashioning.
idk, you tell me why they're shit
>>67915674
"The times they are a changin" montage is great dont get me wrong but the song choice was a little ham fisted imo. The message was clear enough, the fact that he chose a song that literally explained what was happening in the scene is like some film student tier thought processing. Same with the choice of "hallelujah" during the nite owl silk spectre 2 sex scene.
>dan really wanted to have sex with laurie all this time
>first time he tried he couldnt get it up
>this time its actually happening
>HAAAALLLELUJJAHH
Its just super corny. Sometimes with scenes in this movie you dont know if you are supposed to laugh or not.
But for the most part I dont think the soundtrack is all that bad. I actually think they used the Glass song better in Watchmen than how it was used in Koyaanisqatsi
>>67915916
True that THAT was the begining, but he read the script to V for Vendetta and was repulsed at their IMMENSE changes to V's character.
>>67914392

The Watchmen movie is already really good, the only good thing Zack Snyder has ever made. This edit better have a good reason for existing other than "muh source material!". It better actually transform the film into something greater
>>67915085
>referencing our shared, collective media consciousness and all that they imply
but why? apocalypse now and dr.strangelove already analyzed war. they got the job done pretty well, too.
is watchmen criticizing those analysis in order to out-relevance them?

Every chapter of the comic has a small quote froma song. The movie uses these songs.
"I'm tired of /tv/. These Bane posters."
"I'm tired of being caught, in the tangle of their memes."
>>67915642
It's been a while since I saw it but I think the main complaint was that V wasn't the sociopathic anarchist that he was in the comic, also in the comic his costume is completely symbolic, in the movies he wears it because he's horrifically scarred underneath
>we will never get a stand-alone movie about the comedian and his special forces team in Vietnam.

Meh, it fixes the main complaints that people had with the film like the campy music, the dialogue that wasn't in the comic and that Matrix-tier annoying blue tint, it also rearranges the scenes so that happen in the same order that they do in the comic, IMO this makes the movie flow a lot better and the lack stupid shit like Ride of the Valkyries drastically improves the overall tone of most scenes
>>67914732
The worst part about this movie is that it is TOO faithful to the comics, so you end up with a product thats not really a film adaptation. That and the casting of nite owl.

you make a fantastic point. if we're talking about that particular generation's aura, no one else is quite going to get it right.
but using radio hits whose popularity spans multiple generations means that the atmosphere picks up a lot more junk along the way. it seeped into a lot of kitsch.
there are plenty of relevant tunes from the nuclear era, the 'nam era, and the cold war that aren't circulated on cereal boxes, saturday morning cartoons, and playstation games which would breathe life into those scenes. the way Moore meant to when he wrote his notes in.

A nuke or large explosion could easily be linked to human hands. Why would Manhattan use a nuke when he could just will the Earth from existence?
A giant alien squid though? That certainly doesn't have precedence. I know I wouldn't suspect Russia sending a giant monster to kill us.

Thank you based Snyder
First one to make me believe in miracles gets to stay on my red planet.
But what good is vaporizing a man before blocking his tachions?
The world's biggest guy poses no more of a threat to me than does it's biggest termite.
I can change almost anything... but I can't change for you.

According to the comics, both the US and USSR tried multiple times. Something about John was unique, and I suppose it's implied that his childhood of learning about watchmaking, and his willpower allowed him to piece himself back together, which is why he seems to randomly appear after the accident in various stages of being complete.

As long as you stay on earth how would it matter? Sounds like his dad was a mega drama queen to me.
>>67915044
Checked
Also does anyone check the TP after they wipe?
>>67917875
that's pretty poettric desu
>>67917954
every time, how else would you know when to stop wiping?
>>67913622
That's a real shit reason to quit your profession. Thats like being an artist and then quitting because there are blind people in the world
>>67917761
>>67916176
Yeah and all he needed was Alan Moore writing the whole script and Dave Gibbons doing all the storyboards
Too bad he couldn't afford them for his subsequent films
>>67915926
Phillip Glass is pleb Steve Reich tho
>>67917954
I smell my shit on the toilet paper before I throw it down into the bowl.
>>67913788
>John is that you?
Literally how could she recognize him that quick?
>>67915330
Yes absolutely. I thought most of the stuff with Dr Mann worked pretty well and there were some other good parts but as a whole it was blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
>>67918101
Once you've had a man inside of you, you know when he's coming

Warners used some fine print about keeping things in print while they made Moore think he'd eventually get the rights.
DC has a long long history of fucking over creators. If you work for them, expect work for hire pay with no rights or a long legal battle to get them.
Maybe during Levitz and other better editors, some writers got decent royalties. I know Chuck Dixon commented about getting money from the use of Bane in Schumacher's film.
>>67915794
Africa is an idiot tho
>>67918101
the movie doesn't really capture it well in the little montage, but he was practically haunting that facility for months before he figured out how to fully manifest.
>>67918101
Uncut dicks are pretty rare in America, she would have known it was John as soon as she saw "downtown Manhattan"
>>67916557
Im pretty sure he's gone on record saying he doesnt give a fuck what they do, as long as he gets paid.
So really, with that attitude, guy should shut his fucking mouth when they make a hash of his work.
>>67913975
That was the achilles-fucking-heel of the movie: the soundtrack.
Holy crap.
The movie starts as the comic starts, with the dramatic murder of the character known as The Comedian. Shot very well, very stylish. Soundtrack: Unforgettable by Nat King Cole. Hmm… The ironic use of a touching old-timey ballad to contrast with the disturbing on-screen content. It worked when Terry Gilliam used What a Wonderful World at the end of Twelve Monkeys, but the dramatic effect of this technique has lessened ever since. But, fuck it, it’s the beginning of the movie, I’ll give it a shot, fine.
Next, opening credits. Song choice: The Times They Are A’Changing by Bob Dylan. In its entirety… Ok now. This is getting kinda Gumpy. Please tell me this isn’t going to be one of those Time Life soundtracks where they use blatantly iconic songs from the 20th century in a lazy attempt to give weight to the scenes…
That’s exactly what the entire movie was.
Every time I would be digging the film’s many awesome qualities, they’d plug in these tired movie music clichés.
IE:
Sound of Silence – Simon & Garfunkle: during a wistful ponderous scene
All Along the Watchtower – Jimi Hendrix: during an intense suspenseful scene
Ride of the Valkyries – Wagner: During a war scene
Mozart Requiem: After a main character dies…
Guh… and the rest.
The absolute worst though: Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah during a graphic sex scene. No, not one of the many awesome, sexy covers of this song. The Leonard Cohen version. Now, I love this version, but it’s anything but sexy. It made the entire audience view the sex scene as a joke. It was almost grotesque.
In all seriousness, during the moments when these songs were used (usually in their entirety!) it brought this highly polished professional film down to the level of a high school class project. They were an awkward blight that pulled a well-crafted film into the depths of banality.
>>67918374
This so fucking much, all they would have had to do was make electronica covers of the songs to give it familiarity but also something new. Probably could have saved a shit load of money too.
>>67918374
>it’s anything but sexy. It made the entire audience view the sex scene as a joke. It was almost grotesque.
Are you legitimately autistic? That was the whole point, it's not supposed to be a "sexy" sex scene

Which raises the question: why does he even have a dick?
>>67914705
Epitome of fitness industry
>>67918374
that'svtge difference between a great director and a monkey trying to mimic one
Just look at goodfellas, it has tons of songs but tgey ALL feel organic to the scene

Go play in traffic.

To both represent the perfect statuesque figure of a God and to convey his complete disregard to human concepts even with something as superficial as clothing. He just simply doesn't think about petty shit like that.
>>67916019
Okay fair enough I'm impressed.
>>67918374
>uncomfortable during a scene in which a guy finally gets his cock up only because he's wearing his manchild owl costume
How could they do this to the audience
>>67919352
This was shit.
>>67914967
>What are you looking at, smoothskin?
>>67917443
He is borderline omnipotent. It's been a while since I read the comic, but I remember it talking about how he knew the events of past, present and future because he existed outside of the direction of time. He knew how events would unfold before they did, but he would not change those events to better an outcome for anything. "Destiny" as it was.
>>67915023
This is literally the first time someone offered an explanation that makes sense for this. I'll buy it.
>>67913975
This is the real reason they used all along the watchtower
>>67916075
Yeah and it only required the out of left field introduction of psychics in what had previously been a very grounded comic, with the sole exception of Dr. Manhattan.
>>67920385
>Nite Owl and Rorschach came in on segways
>>67914713
>The squid is a seemingly completely external force
It's not like the US could be just tricking the Soviets right?
>>67913788
What videogame is this?
>>67920385
I forget, was that cat creature in the movie? When he kills that fucker it was pretty sad.
>>67913788
I was always confused why they never made more Dr. Manhattens.
I never understood Dr. Manhattan
>I'm so disconnected from the world because people are just meat and I can control matter and energy and see through time
>Life is so trivial to me
>I have no emotions anymore because nothing matters when I'm this powerful
>I still want sex
dafuq?
>>67918018
No, it's like being an artist and then quitting because everybody's blind including you.
>>67913788
>people actually approving the complete rape of the comic
Fuck capeshitters
>>67920724
did he really say he want sex? wasn't it more of an obligation to his partner. he'll he was even doing something when having sex
>>67918023
Zach Snyder is incompatible with Alan Moore
