Fairn enough I still think he got Miller right but Moore wrong when it came to putting across their writing, but then Miller gets involved when adaptations are made where Miller normally dismisses or disowns them

And that's a fair point.

Sometimes writers get a bit involved with their own work when it comes to adaptations.

Written pieces should always also the reader to see their own story within a writer's. It's like songs, when we hold on to a song cos of the way we perceive them and that changes when the songwriter tells the world what they actually meant by the song.

Probably because Snyder has never made a decent fipm in his life.

even a rewatch of the watchmen you realise it's a poor adaptation

File him alongside, JJ abrams and Michael Bay for butchering the art of film making and story telling

I think Snyder is a good visual storyteller. The Watchmen credit sequence is an effective example of that (as is the Sucker Punch prologue to a lesser degree). Generally, though, his output hasn’t been great.

Bay, not much of a visual storyteller, tends to bludgeon the audience into submission with excess, though The Rock is great. But then he’ll do something lower key like 13 Hours which is superb.

Abrams is a hack. Peaked with Super 8 and fancied himself as the next Spielberg. He’ll not get anywhere near Spielberg. To be fair, even Spielberg can’t get anywhere near Spielberg anymore…
