when has Snyder ever let us down before?

Disney announced that there's to be a new Star Wars movie every year from 2015 onward. Basically, 2015-episode 7, 2016-spinoff, 2017-episode8, etc.It's inevitable that Snyder will direct one of them, to keep this on topic.
i don't expect this to be a very good movie, but i do expect this to scratch my itch for a superman movie where he actually gets to let loose. kind of the Incredible Hulk for the DC set, as it were.
Snyder has done maybe one quarter of a good movie if you put everything he has done together.
300 was awesome, but it's basically shot-for-shot from the comic.
Quote from: chronovore on April 17, 2013, 05:58:46 PM300 was awesome, but it's basically shot-for-shot from the comic.In many ways Watchmen was shot for shot from the comic, and it didn't work. 300 is much better IMO because it was easier to adapt to screen; the action sets are great and the cheese worked very well, whereas with Watchmen many of the more dramatic scenes fell flat to me and felt like bad actors reciting lines.
for a start, there are no 'shots' IN the comic
Holy shit, I actually agree with everything PD said except for: spoiler (click to show/hide)The Squid. Your reasoning is better than most, though. I still do feel that the Squid wasn't that ridiculous, and having something look literally out of this world show up out of nowhere than disappear is more of an incentive that it most definitely is an alien attack, which works out best for me. But yeah, Doctor Manhattan was a stupid choice. In a world where people try to claim that 9/11 was set up by teh jews are you going to tell me that there won't be anyone claiming Manhattan is an american threat to the rest of the world? Bullshit.[close]The whole shot for shot thing is just stupid imo. It doesn't have to be straight lifted from the comics, different things work in different mediums. Just film it right, make it look good, that's all that matter.

Because he is a credible threat for the world to unite against.[close]spoiler (click to show/hide)A US engineered weapon, during a state of massive hysteria and what was painted as Russia being ready to attack the US. An alien invasion is just a perfect way for the earth to band together, Cause they've been attacked by an unknown alien force and there is now sense of humans vs. aliens instead of american vs. russian vs. what have you. Doctor Manhattan is historically a US weapon, him attacking would most likely have fingers pointed at the US then just banding together.[close]

the ending works because Manhattan buys into the plot under duress, and leaves the earth. Thereby scapegoating himself
