First it was Chris Nolan, than Zack Snyder got pulled into this. If Man of Steel immulates the success of Watchmen, and I think it will farr faaar surpass because of the nature of Superman and Zack's ability to make it epic looking, sounding and feeling...that combined with the fact that, despite Watchmen, he can and has made characters relateable, like in Sin City.
I think DC needs some more directors, I think if you throw just JJ Abrams in there, and they give it more time than Avengers was given to make the rest of the DC films first and wait to build up, I think Marvel is royally ****ed.
To summize Zack Snyder, it all depends on Man of Steel's success. I think Quanchi is premature to underestimate Zack Snyder...especially when in concert with Nolan's boys.
As for Watchmen, it's expected most people don't have the patient pertinacity required for a film like that. The perplexities were easy for me to grasp, what was left was watching in amusement as a super-powered, psi-conscious, agnostic atheist was murking the everloving shit out of the Vietcong to the symphonic rhythm of Wagner.

Watchmen certainly wasn't for the crowd who needs loosely knit together actions scenes, little story and little character development.It's a shame it didn't do better, was a great superhero flick. Likely in the top 5 superhero flicks.

Snyder had nothing to do with Sin City. Plus the characters in Sin City were not as complexed nor the story line convoluted as Watchmen.
Like I said before, if Supes fails, critics will blame Snyder.
If it's a success, then all credit will go to the Nolans.

The movie didn't do well. The public agreed with me. Get over it. Cry elsewhere. This thread is for the jla mess dc has going on at the moment.
How clever, state that we should get back on topic, after I implied it. Clever, anyhow.
I don't see the "mess" the JL film is in; it's way too early to be having such a dire outlook over a movie that hasn't been cast, set a director in stone nor had a final write. At least wait until MoS comes out, as it's linked to the JL flick before being mister boom and gloom.
Not that it matters, you're a known bandwagoneer. If MoS does well and when we finally start seeing glimpses of the JL flick, you'll be the first to jump on and say how great it's going to be.

Nah. I have always preferred marvel. I will acknowledge which dc books and films I like due to me being objective and all. I liked the Batman films but marvel is clearly drumming their asses at this point.
I too am puzzled why we have a thread on this topic. Everything is pure speculation as no moves have been made.

Going by this logic, I guess X-Men Origins: Wolverine was the shit. There are a number of movies with varying quality that have been good but not did so well at the box office. Recently, Dredd comes to mind. Watchmen is awesome.
Watchmen sucked. Seems there's very little in between when it comes to that film: loved it or hated it. I thought the entire thing was horrid, the first 45 minutes of the film were entirely unnecessary--everything there could have been tied up nicely without all that ado about nothing--and the ending was garbage as well.
Call him a curmudgeon if you like, but the creator said he didn't want it adapted to film because it's not a story that would translate well on screen and he was correct AFAIC. To each his own though.
