The comic used the tropes of the superhero genre and visual language of the comic book medium to deconstruct the classic superhero story. I would have liked to have seen Snyder use more of the visual language of superhero movies (and there have been enough by now that said visual language is pretty ingrained in the minds of viewers), to similarly deconstruct the superhero film itself.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333221047600488068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331135384154117296.post-30245565517289399642012-04-25T15:48:36.857+01:002012-04-25T15:48:36.857+01:00I got my copy of Watchmen from Netflix a day after...I got my copy of Watchmen from Netflix a day after your review. I agree with you that it was not exactly what I had expected. I normally don't watch the superhero films and don't read the comics, so I'm fairly ignorant about the genre, except for comments by others.<br /><br />I did watch it to the end and found it mildly interesting, but I have no plans to view it again.<br /><br />I also was confused by the intermingling of the present and past of the characters, obviously the director's attempt to fill in the background for those, such as me, who are not familiar with the story line. I think it might have been better if that had been dropped.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233846613173866140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331135384154117296.post-28000281178631602722012-04-20T13:15:28.428+01:002012-04-20T13:15:28.428+01:00The movie isn't half as good as the original c...The movie isn't half as good as the original comic.Chimeradavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373236451090168388noreply@blogger.com
