Snyder Throws a Sucker Punch

[DarthSkywalker]

opinions i thought Watchmen had a lot of character development and emotion

and top notch performances

No opinion about it. If something isn't there, it isn't there.

Well, considering what Snyder is symbolically linking Baby Doll's lobotomy to, I hope he has his understanding of character/narrative development down.

Plenty of creative types think they know how to do symbolism. Doesn't mean they are good with it. The elegance of a Cauron or Nolan is replaced by the rusty steak knife approach.

There is opinion about it because me and many others think he got the characters in Watchmen pretty spot on, and there was plenty of substance and emotion in the movie as well, despite what you try and claim as fact when it clearly isnt.

I honestly believe he did better than most others could have done...especially reading and hearing about previous scripts.

exactly. I wouldnt change a thing about the directing position, Zach was the man to bring in the look of Watchmen, even though there was a lack of a great screenplay.

See if Watchmen was a HBO mini series directed by Zach Snyder, that would be something to look at.

 

[Ziggyman]

What Snyder gave us...was probably the best Watchmen movie we all coulda hoped for without going over 3 1/2 hours...

...and an HBO mini-series would have been amazing...

Every now and then there should be a movie that is made just for teenage guys...this looks to be that movie. It has all the things that guys think are cool in a violent movie...and hot chicks in fetish wear (which is their favorite thing in anything).

It already appears to be a masterpiece for what it sets out to be.

Lol, stigmatizing much on your high horse ?

Don't get me wrong, I fully agree on the hot chicks in fetish outfit,I would have said retro-military-steampunk but fetish is shorter, also it is not a teenager prerogative to like hot chicsk in fetish outfit.

Every ounce of depth in Watchmen came from the comicbook. This movie will be as empty as 300.

I think Zach is probably one of the best visualists in mainstream Hollywood

Oversaturating the colour palette and copious amounts of Slow-mo =/= a good visualist.

I am seriously pumped about the prospect of an original Zach Snyder work.

and all the depth from 300 was in the comic buddy that i frank miller for you

and if thats all you think Zack's visual style is then you are sadly mistaken

 

[PowersOfMind]

After seeing what Snyder did with Watchmen I can't wait to see what he does with Sucker Punch. I though Watchmen was one of the most engaging and visually stunning films I've seen in a long time. Considering the source material and how vast it is, Watchmen was great to me. The director's cut is even better.

MORTAL KOMBAT!!! Duna duna duna duna dun dun... duna duna duna duna dun dun ...

 

[Majik1387]

Mortal Kombat wishes it got that movie treatment.

 

[Project862006]

exactly i think people are too into these realistic drama based films lately with realistic hand to hand fights like your dark knight & jason bourne, i go to movies to escape reality.This is my fix this is one of few movies that makes me think you have to see this in theaters for the spectacle alone.

i love me some fantasy films

 

[dark_b]

i like both kind of movies.

My favourite part of the trailer.

I think there is room for both, I hate it when a fad takes over, like after Matrix everyone was doing slow mo bullet stuff and wire-fu, then after the Bourne movies it was all high speed hand to hand and shaky cam, directors need to use their own imaginations.

 

[Project862006]

i agree with you both i love both but sometimes people get too comfortable with 1 type directors and audiences alike

N/a

Give me an example. Even my favorite part of the film (The Mars scenes) hinge on knowledge you have going into the film. The character scenes lead nowhere and were disconnected. There is no indication of how these characters were molded into what they are, even though those scenes are suppose to be there. All you have are images from the comic, not their meaning. The big moments are begging for an emotional reaction from nowhere.

Watch the All Along the Watchtower scene. There is no quiet understanding between the character. All about recollection to the graphic novel. That is where the emotion of the scene is derived from, not the film itself. Which is why I think so many like it. They are filling in the gaps using their knowledge from the graphic novel.

Comments like this are why no one will ever take you seriously.

Because I seek your approval.

Almost looks like she's going super saiyan at the end there.
