When Zack Snyder scored a surprise to the box office with his adaptation of Frank Miller's limited comic book series and Lynn Warley, every studio in the city loved him steadily in their directors. This hit also appeared on the heels of his well -examined remake of the "Dawn of the Dead" of George A. Romero and While I'm not a fan of that movieI couldn't deny the craft. Snyder, who would reduce teeth on ads and music videos, was a visionary. And when he brilliantly caught the brutal, abuser aesthetics of Miller and Varley's "300", I was excited when I saw what could do with a project that was a little more in his knife.

Snyder must be felt the same way, because, for his third game, he decided to climb the movie "Everest" to adapt Alan Moore and the wildly subversive superhero of Dave Gibbon's superhero. A comic strip with a limited series ((Not a graphic novel after Moore) It was considered a sacred written by Legia of fans, so they were careful about which the directors toured the project. There was enthusiasm for Terry Gilliam, Darren Aronofsky and Tim Burton, cautious optimism about Paul Greengrass (because the material was not in his cart), and the incandescent rage because of Michael Bay.

In 2008 He had a visual acumen to bring this dystopian world to life, but was the intellectual requirements of storytelling strictly? The reviews were positive with reservations at the time, but the biggest fan of the film 16 years later could be Christopher Nolan, who said Hollywood reporter In 2023 that the "guards" were "before their time". But why is one of our most sincere directors taken with the disappointment of Snyder's box office (which is currently being aired for free on tubes)?

While promoting Oppenheimer in 2023, Nolan (who produced and has a story with a "steel man" credit) found time to shout Snyder to take less than the heroic/fascist exploits of a crime. As he said:

"The idea of ​​a supertem, which is so brilliantly undermining her, was not yet something in the movies. It would be fascinating to see that post-Avenders has been released.

With such glittering praise from one of our biggest live directors, we would think that Snyder would be open to re -issuing. You would be wrong. "I like that people missed it when it came out," He once told LetterBoxd"Because I just think it's a movie that was so personal when I did.

I know the comic book fans who dislike or completely hate Snyder's "guards", which is confusing to me because he has not made any critical changes in the story. There are so many fantastic moments in "Watchmen". It is modern to ridicule the use of the film on the original footage of Leonard Cohen at "Haleluja" to achieve a sex scene between two of her superheroes, but I think she is cleverly highlighted; That song has been used and abused for centuries in films and ads, but none of them have deployed the OG version. This is intended to be funny.

So take Nolan's advice and give Snyder another (especially while still on tubes). You can only click for you this time.
