Snyder, in contrast, does not direct movies known for control, or much richness beyond surface visual qualities; it’s no wonder his Watchmen behaves like a version of the comic drawn by Dale Keown, or some other Image artist I thought would have made for a much more interesting comic when I was 12. Everything is busy, pulsing and prone to aplomb, whenever possible. I like loud things, so sometimes I enjoyed it, but god if it doesn’t treat the audience like dunces compared to Moore & Gibbons - why hide that famous drip of blood onto the smiley button when you can zoom in and underline it and make us watch it drip in slooooooow moooooootion, so we can all be sure it’s A Very Important Image in a Serious Work of Meaning and Impact.
