And despite what the fanboys say our discontent has nothing to do with faithfulness either. The movie is just badly executed, Snyder is in love with exaggerating every act of violence, sex and even Dr. Manhattan's CGI blue schlong (this was never distracting in the comic book). It's almost like he's shouting "LOOK GUYS I MADE AN ADULT MOVIE!"
The saddest part about this is that it manages to be, what, 85% faithful to the source material and yet perverts it in a way that only the director of 300 could.
I'd have greatly preferred Paul Greengrass' version wherein the book's premise was updated to modern times. Now that could have possibly deconstructed screen superheroes the same way Watchmen (the graphic novel) deconstructed comic book superheroes.
cibai.. semangat aku dh jatuh 10% pas baca komen kau*. The whole thing was bad? Really..?? Even visually..? Give me a hint..I'm seeing it tonight, taknak spoil the mood. Or should I go in with a very low expectations?
* sbb aku tahu kat 'faham'. Dan aku harap kau kata it was brilliant.
Apa kurangnya dengan kau, anonymous komen gak. Tengok je lah filem ni sendiri, tak payah nak buat snide comments kat orang yg tak suka filem kau belum tengok lagi.

Agreed.
