Want went wrong?

no cumshot

...

Nothing went wrong.
I never read the graphic and never will.
This movie is it's own thing and I love it as it is.

did they gangbang the females

Nothing, what are you talking about?

Not enough jokes, too serious, too much dialog etc.

There's more than one cut

It wasn't just one thing. Obviously the rape was a factor, but they just had their own individual issues. And they got old. Can't be a superhero forever.

Nothing
the meme is that it's a bad movie

MODS

fug u

you

not the lesbians

this
fuck off squids

>no blacks

What went right?

it got the Sin City/300 style of adaptation when it wasn't that kind of graphic novel. Snyder basically went through and picked out the flashiest scenes to recreate in a very literal way rather than starting with "this is a story first, how do we translate that to film?"

i love

Oi

>This movie is it's own thing

It isn't really. Apart from the ending and some Snyder-fied violence it's a verbatim Cliff Notes version of the book.

pls no

Nice try bro

>I'll never know what Watchmen was really about
>this sophomoric retelling that horribly misses its themes is good enough for me :)
Kill yourself

Damn you

Nothing. Watchman is okay tier.

Come on, Sheldon

...

Fuck you

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

STOP IT NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

kek. that was a great thread

i thought it was good.

BAZINGA

Snyder is a doodoo head :)

>tasteless use of slowmo
>total misunderstanding of the source material
>disguisting grey/blue filter
>godawful soundtrack

what the fuck

you wont get an answer other than
MUH COMICS

retards didnt understand that an adaptation has to make some changes

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.

I almost can't stand the movie anymore because of hallelujah. It was definitely cringy.

k

It was a perfect flick and anyone who didn't enjoy it clearly doesn't get that these films are made for children. The story isn't supposed to make sense, the characters don't need to be that in-depth, there doesn't need to be any sort of maturity in the tone. It's simply a bunch of colorful muscled dopes punching each other. Get your head wrapped around that, wow.

fucking saved for future Watchmen threads

It was praised for being anything but what you said
I cringed so hard at this post, even if you're b8ing it's pathetic. It's irredeemable.

.

...

The worst sex scene of all time.

I think the opening credits worked great. Otherwise I fully agree

reply

kys

end her suffering bazinga man

Fuck you, I love mum

MARTHA?

No Marthas die tonight

Malin Akerman. I can't fucking stand her. Carla Gugino should have been Silk Specter II and Malin Akerman should have been Silk Specter.

pls no

MODS HELP!!

they never show the cumshots in these shitbag motels

Niggers are 12% of the population yet commit 50% of the crime.

meh

m-martha

Please God no

poor acting
all of snyder's scenes were ridiculous (the cohen sex scene, the hamfisted strangelove scene, the fight scenes)

was only good because the original content was good

It didn't go that wrong.

Its biggest problem is that it feels more like cliff notes of the graphic novel rather than its own concise standalone film. The pacing is a bit off as a result.
But it still hits some of the right notes and the casting was pretty on point. Judging from what he's said Watchmen is one of the only comics Snyder is really passionate about so he seemingly put more effort into finding the right actors for the roles than he does these days.

and its hands down the only Moore adaptation that isn't complete unforgivable garbage so that's a positive.

This. The times weren't ready for them.

one of the trailers used a Muse song

well this movie is exactly like Muse...glossy on the outside but deep inside it shallow and empty

best capekino film by a really really wide margin

Snyder being a hack

fuck off !!

Have no problem with the soundtrack.

No, YOU braindead kids who feed these fuck off.

what was it?

this

Kike Snyder is one of the worst directors to have ever lived. The musical choices alone make me cringe so hard I feel like I've got an aneurysm.

Nothing. It was a great movie.

Sperging out over comic book shit is not an argument. If you read comic books, your a literal retard. Read a fucking novel

Koyaanisqatsi was great tho

bumping

All Along The Watchtower was straight from the comic tho

also 10/10 post

It was a great movie because of the source material, a comic you so disdain. Zack's bits were hamfisted and overobvious, and the acting was poor.

leaving out the island substory

it was the key to everything

anyone who says otherwise didn't read the books

Did Silhouette really fight crime in those heels?

pic of sheldon and "if you don't reply to this post, etc" caption

imagine getting kicked by them

oh, for some reason I thought it was either that or cuck porn

>if you don't reply to this post, your mother will die in her sleep tonight.

Times a'changing works fucking well for the depiction of events during the intro though.

It's just obvious and surface level. As if Snyder just skimmed the comic.

Snyder couldn't contain his urges to shove in stupid, unnecessary fight scenes that actually clash with the idea that no one other than Manhattan is actually a SUPERhero. Snyder going with the over-the-top fight scenes with them snapping limbs in half and punching guys across entire rooms was really, really dumb.

Hi zack.

It works for the scene the same way The Hockey Song works for a hockey montage.

is there a name for these kinds of pictures? they're cute

It works in the same way playing hava nagila when you have jews on the screen.

Except it wasn't done as a gag.

Manhattan was God. Veidt was the ubermensch.

Hi

snyder, you're drunk
