Saw Watchmen.
Wow. Well.
First, I am absolutely baffled by the reviews of this film. It seems people are falling into one of three categories:
1. Complete adoration: This was the greatest comic book movie of all time. It was perhaps the most faithful adaptation in the history of cinema. This was the easily the best movie ever. And Rorshach was awesome.
2. It was pretty good: Seen better, seen worse. In all, it was a good action flick with highbrow aspirations. There were problems, but I didn’t mind spending my evening that way.
3. Complete and utter revulsion: Zack Snyder is a complete and utter buffoonish, despicable hack. Moore and Gilliam were right; Watchmen is unfilmable and this proves it. It was cold, amateurish, adolescent, banal, and reprehensible. I am furious with rage.
I lean more toward viewpoint #1, as it was a positive viewing experience with my sister and provoked much debate both between the two of us and among the midnight-going crowd we saw it with in the wee hours of Friday morning. In short, I dug it, and would like to see it again to further peel back the layers I think I perceived.
But why do some people hate it so much? Liberals and conservatives, comic geeks and non-fans, Watchmen aficionados and those unfamiliar with the book — there were lovers and haters on both sides of all obvious dichotomies. I don’t get that.
Anyone have any idea why that is?
