Watchmen? It was an adaptation. When pretty much the entire movie is already written, with art style already laid out, you would actually have to work pretty hard to screw it up. It never ceases to amaze me that Hollywood consistently DOES make that effort. This was simply a case of Hollywood NOT working hard to screw things up. They did a pretty much straight adaptation. No surprise it was good.wouldyoukindly99 said:
My favorite movie though....none. 99% of all Hollywood movies are total and utter crap. The closest at the moment is the animated movie "The Incredible Hulk Vs." you can get on Xboxlive. I loved Deadpool in that movie. The few movies that manage to be good occupy a sort of realm, with no individual movie standing out.
It's like a dimension of good. Everything on my list just occpies this space. With no one thing standing out. I suppose I could say that I loved Dragon Hunters, this wierd French CGI film, or that I loved Hot Fuzz, but in the end, all of these films seem significantly flawed to me. Nothing, from my perspective, is truly great. There is a just this realm of "good." which 1% of movies manages to occupy.
Hollywood (and most movie making in general.)is almost exclusively crap. It's almost nothing but philosophy I dissagree with, morals I don't agree with, cliche's I don't agree with, and bigotry/discrimination I don't agree with. (Seriously, stop badmouthing the French. If it wasn't for them there might not have BEEN an America. And why are so many intelligent, independent women sexist bigots with an inferiority complex? AND WHY DO THE HEROES FALL FOR THESE WOMEN DESPITE THEIR ABHORRENT PERSONALITIES!?)
