Indeed. It was very difficult though I believe, has passed the test with flying colors. We all know how difficult it can be to bring a comic by Alan Moore on the big screen. For many reasons. Comics are dense, with a heavy literary diva's position that Moore has been playing does not help much. I do not understand what happens to this man. I can understand that reneging on the adaptation of From Hell (although I have not seen) or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (pathetic), but I think both V for Vendetta, and Watchmen are two good examples of how to adapt a comic to the screen, at least this kind of comics that are limited editions, consisting of presentation, knot and outcome and have no burden of history forty years or more.
The movie is not perfect. That is obvious. And I do not mean changes have been made in the script, much less drastic in my view that V for Vendetta, but for other things. As in the comic, the script of the film is quite dense and sometimes shows a lack of pace that does not benefit anything. Then there's the casting. The actors playing Silk Spectre and, above all, Ozymandias may not be the right choice. From my point of view are two actors with little charisma and a story like this requires the opposite. by Rorschach Rather, it is absolutely sublime. With regard to changes in the script does not harm the film becoming quite the contrary. If V for Vendetta changes seemed to me quite absurd and free, in think Watchmen greatly benefit the whole. Is virtually identical to the comic in all that is important, which raises another handicap for what I've read on the Internet. And is that fans never know if you've done well or not. If it is true to the original comic is crap and if the same is a bad copy. Honestly I think of a disagreement over the top. Maybe what I think is worse is the backdrop carried the argument. There were people that I went to see the movie they liked but had not caught some points. Those who have read the comic that will not happen. The best thing about the movie, no doubt, the credits. Zack Snyder has definitely served its purpose. Adapting a comic by Alan Moore to be much more complicated than one of Frank Miller. One is literary excellence, the other very cinematic.
