At least one good book-to-movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2009)

There have been many book to movie adaptations, from mistakes like Eragon to masterpieces like Lord of the Rings, but I think "Watchmen" has my vote for the film that is the most loyal to its novel counterpart. Snyder's attention to miniscule things in the book like clothing of background characters and translating the ragged word bubbles of Rorschach into a ragged voice for the film character made this film the best interpretation of the novel that you're ever going to see. Exact quotes were pulled from the book and lighting and camera angles were expertly reproduced into the high-quality film. When it comes to taking this graphic novel and putting it through Hollywood, Zack Snyder was the perfect man for the job.
