Guest zaphod Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thinking this movie is going to suck it. Might be a few interesting scenes - but I predict that if a director wants to slow down his image to give an audience the feeling they are enjoying the visuals like you would reading a comic panel, then this has no business being a good, or great film. I hate to post yet another complaint about a movie but yeah, Zach Snyder is a relatively soulless director and I have a feeling this will look a lot like the comic and that's about it. I saw an action scene where they break a guy out of prison and it looked pretty lame, super slow mo 300 style stuff going on. Comics and movies are totally different mediums, I don't know how long it's going to take for directors to understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Salads Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Whats funny is even the trailer for it has the same kind of structure 300 did. It starts off with a guy getting hit in slow mo and then falling backward. How is fake glass cool, Im not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zaphod Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yeah it's sort of arbitrary slow mo, like, how is this the coolest thing to slow down? I know he justifies it by saying it's the splash pages but I'll just read the comic then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takeshi Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yeah it's sort of arbitrary slow mo, like, how is this the coolest thing to slow down? I know he justifies it by saying it's the splash pages but I'll just read the comic then. Have you guys ever seen a fight before? A sporting event? They slow it down because, especially during fights, things happen faster than the human eye can follow. Kurosawa basically invented the modern action film using this technique in Seven Samurai. I figured everyone knew this was an "action film version" of the comic book, because I know that going in I'll probably be able to enjoy it.

delet... Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 so what's the takeshi take on the whole total recall thing .. didn't see you in the other thread so thought i'd ask here .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeshi Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 so what's the takeshi take on the whole total recall thing .. didn't see you in the other thread so thought i'd ask here .. Didn't see that til just now? It's fucking ridiculous. There is no way this could be good. I mean whose gonna play the jive-talking cabby? It'll probably have a cgi Kuato and he'll be cute, like a plush doll. Pfft whatever... I stopped taking things like this seriously when I heard they'd planned on remaking Ikiru a few years ago.

delet... Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 well as long as they don't remake conan .. i'm cool for now .. i can always not watch all these other bad movies .. but the conan remake will actually hurt deeply ... almost as badly as the second conan did ... heheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Dylan Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The last Watchmen animated episode is out, btw... I kinda wonder if I'm gonna buy it and just watch it 6-hour straight during a rainy weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Strike Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm gonna repost this, because fuck it, if you think the film is going to completely suck you need to see it. As far as I'm concerned, that IS Watchmen right there. Even if some of the action elements are a bit off, Rorshach is fucking nailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a bit meh when i heard they'd changed the ending, and Ror's voice is probably gonna grate on me after a while, but its close enough to how i imagined it. will be seeing it the day it's out. also, total recall remake = heartbroken.

autopilot Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 What's with the watery ink thing going on with his mask? (haven't read the comic, is it some kind of story spoiler?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caustic Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Mask is made of some special material he picked up from working in a clothes factory. Shifts white and black ink around between two layers of latex, iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Caustic Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's three hours long. Better get the supersize popcorn, man. Fanboys would probably bitch if it were shorter. To be fair, looks like it'd be hard to compress. Has this been posted yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
