300
Leonidas:
Outstanding movie. It completely revels in its comic book setting and doesn't shy away from being a little style over substance at times. That being said though the movie truley is a a complete joy to watch and listen to. The only point I would raise (and it's not even a point about the movie) is that I would love to see a movie which was an acurate (or as close to) representation of the events at Thermopylae. I'm a bit of a geek for ancient Greek History, with this particular battle being my favourite topic.
At least now though those who have seen the movie can grasp the significance of my username....

--- Quote from: Ozymandias on 21 Mar 2007, 23:41 ---I think Snyder has a lot of talent and style as a director.
I think that talent and style is not appropriate for Watchmen and he needs to back off.
--- End quote ---
I think he should do pretty good. So far he's done two good, appropriate adaptations. And I think if he continues to stick closely to the source material, then Watchmen should be alright.
Everything else is up to the screenwriter. That's the most difficult part of a Watchmen adaptation. I think.
Johnny C:
Perhaps Snyder should have the experience of coming up with an original idea before tackling another adapted work. Certainly attempting to present his own uncompromised vision would give him insight into the desire of the artist to have his or her message put across faithfully, and that is something which is entirely neccessary in order to present Watchmen properly.

Now, it's probably a given that I'm not the target audience for this film, but seeing as how I like to be contrary . . .
. . . guys, I saw a trailer for 300 last night for the first time and it looked bad. Really bad. Bad like one of bad those car ads where the car goes through a landscape that's meant to look tough and intimidating because 95% of the colour has been removed in post-production, and the car's getting rocks and lightning and shit thrown at it and people are shouting at it and its dodging and weaving around everything and there's some really atrocious generic hard rock soundtrack . . . the trailer looked like that, only without the car.
Johnny C:
You wouldn't believe how much fun an hour and a half of that is to watch.
