I've heard Zack Snyder has aspergers, or some other form of autism, this true? He seems a blend of informative and awkward when he gives interviews, not too mention a bit off in eye contact.
I really complement Zack Snyder for staying as true as he can to the source material. I've seen too many Comic or Video game to movie adaptations which completely butcher their sources and destroy what makes them special to the fans and the audience.
excellent film, for fans of the comic book. It failed because the comic book was not for everybody and the marketing team tried to market the movie to everybody. the fact is, you wont like watchmen if your one of those guys who thought the trailer looked cool and picked up a shirt at hot topic to show everybody how hip you were and then complained because you had to see manhattan's dong. watch it if you liked the comic book or are someone who likes comic-books otherwise fuck off.
@bigcman321 sure, and you probably would have liked the comic book, had you read it. my point was the movie is not for everyone and i think this pretty much reinforces my statement.
Could you kiss the guy's ass any more? The soundtrack included a lot of music I like, but it was also an insult to my intelligence. When I watched the film, I just sat there knowing that Snyder was mocking me and my knowledge of music. The theme to The Graduate, an already used Bob Dylan song, a track from Boogie Nights, a Dylan-written and Hendrix composed tune from Forrest Gump...It's obvious Snyder just threw all this in there to fool the general public into thinking it was "so old school".
@mechapakmei i know what you mean he is such a good director and not to forget that two new flims are legends of the guairdans which looks amazing! and is coming out september 2010! his other new flim is callled sucker punch which is coming march 2011 and this one looks really cool story but brutal action!
I like how he hides the spoiler of what you might realise when you see the movie 2x in row. there is such an aspect in Donnie Darko as well. i like such tricks.
wow.... is cane always drunk or just retarded? lol. maybe a 7 year old? i just want to look at every comment this guy leaves, it would entertain me for life. he is probably the kid who sat alone at lunch everyday because everyone would leave the table when he tried to sit down with them.
@cottonmouthsournote Haha agreed, i just went through the comments and found his first one... it's basically him saying this movie sucks because it doesn't have a typical "Superman comes and kills the bad guys" plot.
*SPOILER ALERT* David Hayter wrote the screenplay in 2003 but pulled out due to a creative difference with universal. Key elements of his screenplay were in the final script (the explosions instead of squid) but he was never part of the directing side of things. Also, Hayter's screenplay was set in 2004 - don't know about you but that doesn't sound as though the noir side of the story would have worked as well as a 1980's setting.
I saw the movie first, then read the book, then I went back after reading to see the movie again... I was kinda sad they left out the news vendor... D: He made my life :P
alan moore's intention was not to make a bunch of bloody pictures and things, but to show the fatal stupidty of the human race, and allows us to fully understand our consquences... it's a comic that's much deeper than spiderman or batman (which are still good comics)
zack made the movie to show the modern america (people who've never read the novel) what alan started.
the movie never had a hero in it incase you forgot what a hero do then let me tell you a hero is some one who save lives and in that case the crook got away clean in the movie call the watchmen so see there were no heros in this movie so again the watchmmen sucks
that movies never had heroes if you like movie that let the bad guy get away then you have darkness in your soul dude but only crappy people makes crappy movie and as for adults movies this one never came close to an X-Rated flick so stop saying this is a adults when there is no such superhero flic that is made just for older people if so then what reason for it
he meant that the movie had concepts and ideas in it that were intended for a mature audience who understood the concepts behind it. You are not what i would call mature person, seeming unable to write a sentence with punctuation in it, in fact you I would call a barley literate fuck-face.
The film and novel both tried to prove that the human race will be the cause of its own destruction and that someone needs to interfere to save us from ourselves.
fuck you thats the goddamn point its protraying the reality of vigilantes unlike your standerd hollywood shirt like spiderman and superman and the graphicness of it was to prove a point to the fucking audience proving how demoralized our american culture has gotten so fuck you, you have no appreciation in this film
I find it humorous to see that I'm not the first person to make a comment like that regarding your stupidity and lack of insight. Your repetitive use of the word "dumb ass" just goes to show it. Looks like the education system failed us again. I've seen peanut butter jelly sandwiches with more intelligence than you, TheCaneCorso.
you call me stupidity with a lack of insight. but yet your are the one who fnd this movie humorous LOL I tell yall you look dummer and dummer tring to get back at me some please stop this okay LOL
I didn't call you "stupidity", I did not say I found this movie humorous, and you've misspelled the word dumber twice, hence why I said you're such an uneducated dumbass American. Thank you for proving my point three times in your childish "LOL" ramble. This feels like I'm having a discussion with an illiterate, inbred down syndrome patient.
@cane, don't mock what u don't understand if u didn't get the movie then piss off! Its a gd movie its not about a superhero who saves the world its about people and how if there were super heroes what would realistically happen! Unlike spiderman or superman its a more realistic and dark adapatation of a superhero movie....and since when did saying a movie was made for adults too mean everyone should be fucking each other!?!?!............anyway gr8 movie!
well flashbacks are a great tool but he meant that in the most like exciting scene where everything comes together a flashback would be just fatal it would ruin the intensity of that moment
i dont rememeber what i was talking about before but if it was about saw...then i was only saying the endings most exciting moment..is when something happens that triggers flashbacks were the whole thing makes sence and its like wow that all fits together....i dont remember what i was saying though :D
i kinda liked this ending better it was more surpriing the ending didnt affect the movie at all for me it was the fact that snyder put way to much slow mo and was a little to violent but other than that it was really good oh yeah and sex scene was stupid
READ. THE. BOOK. READ. THE. BOOK. READ. THE. BOOK. The movie is brilliant, but the comic book, at least in my opinion, is even better. READ IT YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
I thin Zack did a great job with Watchmen. Fanboy's might say otherwise (not faithful etc), but considering this graphic novel, they captured the feel and the idea. Sure unfilmable GN, but they did a damned fine job. (hey, least it wasn't like X-menOrigins:wolverine or Fantastic4). That squid was definitely a wtf moment moment in the comic. to put it in the movie would have been a bad idea. XD
For the most part, I agree. Considering the dense source material, the film is incredibly faithful, and overall a magnificent achievement. I do prefer the comic book ending to the film's version, however (SPOILERS AHEAD), as making Dr. Manhattan the threat, though less "surreal" than the squid, in some ways makes less sense. For example, would the Russians really side with the U.S. after being attacked by a being that the U.S. had until recently been touting as their secret weapon?
you americans surely have a problem with nudity. There is always a post about this, to end all foggies theories about God or whatever, yes manhattan became a "god", but most of all he lost interest for humanity, his thrill is to watch neutrons, so why would he care about using clothes? he doesn't care and doesn't need, it's a simple as that
that is interesting because "the smartest man in the world" took the time to have a monologue and explain everything in the book to a smaller scale in movie. possibly he means we have to go back and look for the thread of the squid thing in the book hmm
I thought the movie was amazing. What comes to Dr. Manhattan's nakedness. I agree with people who say it was made for it to be more like he is different than any other. Plus I DONT KNOW ABOUT THIS but I bet in the novel he is naked as well and if it is so; why would they do it any different than it was drawn/written. Correct me if I am wrong and in fact in the novel Dr. Manhattan is fully dressed? ??
Well yes. ofcourse he was dressed for the tv, cause well obviously he respects our society and rules. I don't think they would have let him come on tv for an interview if he would been totally naked there too.
The novel's artist, Dave Gibbons, said he wanted to make it tasteful nudity, so you rarely see a full frontal shot, and when you do his genitals are just an outline, so it's all very subtle. Apparently Dave Gibbons wanted it to be like a Greek statue.
So, to answer your question, yes he's naked for the majority of the time.
to be blunt i didn't like it i never read the novel it had good effects good sound good timing it just jumped around in the time line to much the ending wasnt expected in a good way and it was preety much a soft core porn movie and dr manhatten wore no pant half the time it was scary T_T
I think they made him naked to show that he was like God. I mean, you wouldn't see God wearing pants. Why would he hide what he created? Don't turn this into a religion argument please :P
I felt more like his nakedness was to show him as different as other humans not only by his powers or colour, but more like he thinks entirely different than them. He is a very special character.
I loved this movie. I know a lot of people are gonna disagree on this, but I thought this one was even better than The Dark Knight. I was really happy after seeing this movie, and I can't wait to watch it again! Perfect opening perfect montage with times are a-changin.The rest was just as awesome too
I agree with that. The Dark Knight was amazing, mainly because of the Joker, I felt Batman wasn't as good though, without the Joker it would just be an average movie. In watchmen almost every character is perfect.
I agree. I remember seeing a couple of cuts that made me go, "umm... ouch".
People were just so hyped over the Joker, that they completely ignored those things. Myself included. After a while, I found myself liking Two-Face as a character, much more. He wasn't so two-dimensional, like the Joker.
The Dark Knight didn't feel like a batman movie and The Joker didn't feel like The Joker. I felt like it was a completely different story that just stole some character names.
Heath Ledger wasn't goofy enough to be the Joker, he was just too evil and I really didn't like the ending.
All these superhero movie adaptations have too many characters jammed in.
Oh, and Watchmen is the best movie I have ever seen.
you need to understand that there are many different versions of the joker. I mean, compared to Adam West's batman, Christian Bale's batman isn't the real batman. You need to really read a whole lot more graphic novels of Batman because there's tons of evidence for Heath Ledger's Joker is very true to the essence of the Joker
@ohsakman I don't mean to bash you, because you have the right to your opinion...But i think you need to go back and watch The Dark Knight again. I really don't understand how it's physically possible to get a better balance between the goofy aspect of the Joker, and the sinister aspect. The way i see it, Ledger couldn't have done a better job: The reason it feels so different to you is probably because Christopher Nolan tried to make that movie more realistic than the original.
love the attention and care u put into each shot and man its just beautiful. The action was more than expected bt that enhanced it even more dk why ppl aare complaining this is physically and thematically better than 300.
I love how u kept the dialogue including my 3 fav lines. And especially the quote at the end of volume 11 whch was amazng
I am ozymandias king of kings look on my works ye might and despair.
I read the novel after seeing the movie. It was a very cool experience--I could see and feel each character and plot more clearly, not to mention the new plotlines (and the comic-in-the-comic) was spectacular.
I liked the new ending too. It brings the whole idea of people needing to fear a deity to be kept in line into focus. I just hated everything that went down in Karnak...from the bullet catch, to the confrontation with Veidt to the 'I did it 35 minutes ago' it was all fuckin awful...
He pretty much is, and I didn't like the movie, but if you're gonna get anybody to do the job, might as well have a fanboy.
And the man's methodical. He knows what he's doing, the only thing I hate about him is he's exploitative and lacks any subtlety...
He pours the sugar on the cereal and eliminates any nutritional value the material has...he also sucks at bringing out the best in the actors...I don't know much about what goes into that, but it's painfully obvious.
As much as I disliked the end of the graphic novel, I hated the movie ending. It was easier on the movie budget, I guess. But the thought that it was better than the original? The squid wasn't the "clumsy tool", it was the cheat to simplify it.
Yeah, he's not in your face or irritating and sycophantic, he's humble and is genuinely interested. He would make a very good professional interviewer.
Blunty... I don't know what he is doing... maybe he just legitimately likes the movie... but personally I thought it was really bad. The WORST part was they nailed some parts SO well (like the Funeral) that when they failed (*SPOILER* Laurie finding out Edward is her father */SPOILER*) they failed hard... cinematography was amazing though, Larry Fong is great.
DONT READ!!!. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved

Plus I DONT KNOW ABOUT THIS but I bet in the novel he is naked as well and if it is so; why would they do it any different than it was drawn/written. Correct me if I am wrong and in fact in the novel Dr. Manhattan is fully dressed? ??

At times, he was dressed like the part with the interview on T.V., but most of the time he was naked.
leonkennedy023 2 years ago
Well yes. ofcourse he was dressed for the tv, cause well obviously he respects our society and rules. I don't think they would have let him come on tv for an interview if he would been totally naked there too.

The novel's artist, Dave Gibbons, said he wanted to make it tasteful nudity, so you rarely see a full frontal shot, and when you do his genitals are just an outline, so it's all very subtle. Apparently Dave Gibbons wanted it to be like a Greek statue.
So, to answer your question, yes he's naked for the majority of the time.

I think they made him naked to show that he was like God. I mean, you wouldn't see God wearing pants. Why would he hide what he created? Don't turn this into a religion argument please :P
TheD00RS23 2 years ago
I felt more like his nakedness was to show him as different as other humans not only by his powers or colour, but more like he thinks entirely different than them. He is a very special character.
I loved this movie. I know a lot of people are gonna disagree on this, but I thought this one was even better than The Dark Knight. I was really happy after seeing this movie, and I can't wait to watch it again! Perfect opening perfect montage with times are a-changin.The rest was just as awesome too
DonQuixotec 2 years ago
I agree with that. The Dark Knight was amazing, mainly because of the Joker, I felt Batman wasn't as good though, without the Joker it would just be an average movie. In watchmen almost every character is perfect.
TheD00RS23 2 years ago

I agree. I remember seeing a couple of cuts that made me go, "umm... ouch".
People were just so hyped over the Joker, that they completely ignored those things. Myself included. After a while, I found myself liking Two-Face as a character, much more. He wasn't so two-dimensional, like the Joker.

The Dark Knight didn't feel like a batman movie and The Joker didn't feel like The Joker. I felt like it was a completely different story that just stole some character names.
Heath Ledger wasn't goofy enough to be the Joker, he was just too evil and I really didn't like the ending.
All these superhero movie adaptations have too many characters jammed in.
Oh, and Watchmen is the best movie I have ever seen.
ohsakman 2 years ago
you need to understand that there are many different versions of the joker. I mean, compared to Adam West's batman, Christian Bale's batman isn't the real batman. You need to really read a whole lot more graphic novels of Batman because there's tons of evidence for Heath Ledger's Joker is very true to the essence of the Joker
earthsuitrox88 2 years ago
@ohsakman I don't mean to bash you, because you have the right to your opinion...But i think you need to go back and watch The Dark Knight again. I really don't understand how it's physically possible to get a better balance between the goofy aspect of the Joker, and the sinister aspect. The way i see it, Ledger couldn't have done a better job: The reason it feels so different to you is probably because Christopher Nolan tried to make that movie more realistic than the original.

He pretty much is, and I didn't like the movie, but if you're gonna get anybody to do the job, might as well have a fanboy.
And the man's methodical. He knows what he's doing, the only thing I hate about him is he's exploitative and lacks any subtlety...
He pours the sugar on the cereal and eliminates any nutritional value the material has...he also sucks at bringing out the best in the actors...I don't know much about what goes into that, but it's painfully obvious.

Blunty... I don't know what he is doing... maybe he just legitimately likes the movie... but personally I thought it was really bad. The WORST part was they nailed some parts SO well (like the Funeral) that when they failed (*SPOILER* Laurie finding out Edward is her father */SPOILER*) they failed hard... cinematography was amazing though, Larry Fong is great.
