Smashing Pumpkins + Zack Snyder = ;y=ｰ( ﾟдﾟ)･∵.

d l wright said...: No seriously. I just wanted to be the first one to say that the Watchmen is going to suck. It looks exactly like the 300: gorgeous and hyper-stylized, but dumb as shit.

Zack Snyder is well on his way to being the Puff Daddy of the film world.; Sun Jul 20, 11:18:00 PM GMT-7
M S Martinez said...: Yeah. I wasn't impressed with the trailer either. And I thought the SP music was an extremely odd choice. I mean, that song comes from the Batman & Robin soundtrack!

Having just read Watchmen, it looks like Snyder is trying to follow the original story within an inch of its life. And not in a good way.

Also, the mainstream audience is going to think that Watchmen ripped off Heroes (and not vice-versa).

So yeah, I have my doubts as well.; Mon Jul 21, 07:38:00 AM GMT-7
d l wright said...: Unfortunately for Snyder, The Dark Knight negates any need for a Watchmen movie. This needed to come out after Spider-man 3 or X-men 3 when the whole comic book adaptation genre needed some lambasting.

And I completely agree. It does look like Snyder is just trying to lifeless animate the comic book for the big screen. "If I could only recreate every last detail perfectly.... then everybody will be happy."; Thu Jul 24, 07:41:00 AM GMT-7
