The wrong kind of director for that kind of movie

Rating: 6/10 (9 March 2009)

It is really amazing how a movie like Watchmen could be so pretty, so true to the book and yet, so Unenjoyable. In retrospect however, it isn't as surprising.
While "Watchmen" is a humanist story about the various aspects of human soul, Zack Snyder is an expert on gore, style, visuals ("Sin City") and raising the testosterone of viewers to illegal levels ("300″). He is not, however, someone who can give a soul to comics heroes.
Zack did everything he could, but it just isn't his kind of movie. Despite the "comixie" appearance, "Watchmen" should be done by a director who excels in moving the audience, not one who excels in exciting them. Instead of Zack Snyder, Sam Raimi or Bryan Singer, this movie should've been directed by Todd Solondz or Darren Aronofsky.
