Snyder's Watchmen is good in individual segments. Occasionally brilliant. But the book is so episodic because it's a 12-part series, and you can tell a story that dense in a comic book. In a movie form, it feels aimless and all over the place. It never feels like one cohesive movie. And even if all its depth comes from the book, it still has a lot more depth, originality, and richness than most movies.

Regardless of his reputation then or today, the chorus was not saying that Kubrick was a "horrible" filmmaker, and few people will even say Snyder is a good one, a decent one at best. Kubrick was still respected, at that time, much more than Snyder is today (and ever will be). If you don't agree, then tell me why he was nominated for 12 academy awards (for writing, producing, directing, and even visual effects work) before Watchmen ever hit book shelves.

@ccv707 No he wasn't. Snyder isn't considered great, but Kubrick wasn't fully appreciated until many years after his films came out.
-
@sickboyfromluton It'll be remembered as one of the better adaptions of a graphic novel. But it won't be regarded a classic, and many people have already forgotten it.
-
However, Kubrick was still generally regarded as a great filmmaker despite the mixed reviews, while Snyder will never even be confused for one.

woow!!!!amzing story...love it so much!!!!

I agree that Kubrick is a master storyteller, who never relied too much on plot to tell a story. He and other filmmakers like him realized that cinema could be used for so much more. :)

So your agreeing with me? Okay that good to know.

@ccv707 He was well respected by the Academy, but some of his films had far more controversy, and negative reviews then any of Zack Snyder's work.
It's that Kubrick's films managed to strike a HARD cord with people. The ones who loved his films, LOVED THEM. The ones who hated them, HATED THEM. And that's why he got so many awards, and accolades. He also changed the form of cinema with "2001", and a couple other films. His artistic eye shook up the world of cinema forever.

The reason Snyder's adaptation of the Watchmen will never be remembered is because he clearly read Moore's book and thought what made it edgy was the blood and the big blue cock.
