1. It was based on Alan Moore's work

That's basically it. Snyder copy and pasta'd the whole thing. It's not an adaptation if you don't take any liberties from the source material.

Intro and night owl death scene other than that it's miserable

It's a shame this didn't set the precedent for 18+ comic adaptations but instead it was Deadpool.

This is my favorite superhero movie.

Surprisingly a bit. I've hated every single other one of this hack's movies but a friend made me watch this and it was okay. A lot of the dialogue was wonky and it still has that Snyder thing where he treats his actors more like glorified props than people, but I was surprised how I sat through like 3 hours and it didn't feel long at all. It's got a lot of great shots, good pacing, and his style works better here than it did in like the Superman movie or whatever.

The opening sequence was good except for the trite Dylan song.

Also good:

1. Dudes hang dong
2. Gook blasting
3. 80s Nixon
4. cut the comic book kid from the movie
5. cut the goofy monster
6. QT casting choices
7. slowmo action bro
8. sexy chicks in latex and man ass galore
9. dr manhattan sequence is legit
>>
Snyders best film easily. Ironically enough better than every MCU film combined

Almost everything. There's some dumb shit like the overly long sex scene.

The source material was compatible with Zack's "le edgy amirite?" approach to filmmaking.

The casting of Rorschach.
