Thank you for addressing the animation style. "Comic book accurate" is a loose term. Just because it has the same dialogue, or has the exact panels, doesn't mean it's captured the spirit of the story. This goes for many comic book adaptations. I worked at a comic book store for years, and it's dreadfully disappointing to see how many people have negative preconceived notions on a beloved character or story because they had only witnessed a lesser version of it in film. Not their fault, it just makes the original stories more difficult for new readers to experience, because they have already seen all the key plot points in the films, and there's no shock and awe to serve alongside the better execution.
Worth noting that Dave Gibbons was actually directly involved with this movie (he’s credited as a consulting producer in the opening credits). He worked with Brandon Veitti and the animation team to ensure the art style and storytelling remained true to the original graphic novel.
While I adore hearing this and it makes me respect Brandon Veitti even more. The end result sadly for me still wasn’t enough for me to be able to praise its visuals. But just to make something really clear. To hear that they did this on watchmen of All IP’s is good to hear. I’ll be doing a video on part 2 and as for all films and tv I watch. I’ll be going in with the hope of enjoying it. Maybe it’ll all click and in the back half of the book there are tons of sequences that can be stunning.
DC's contract with Moore in regards to The Watchmen states that after a year of no publications the rights will be returned to Moore. He has yet to get the rights back. They will continue to publish something once a year to retain the rights over this IP. Moore doesnt like it so much... But he signed...
Moore has no respect for his own work. If he ever gets the rights back, he would either refuse ownership, make it public domain, or just leave it rot. At this point I don't mind DC keeping them.
@@marcelo-ramos either way, it's just another snake move on the part of a big company versus a Creator. Moore is a very cynical individual, however is talented as to have made money without that IP. Now, to have it back from a cynical stand point would be a reminder of a time he'd probably rather forget. In that respect, I don't blame him.
@@marcelo-ramosallen Moore never sold the rights or at least not involved. The artists also posses the rights and most of the time it was them not him allowing the adaptations to be made
@@AnvilPictures they don't need to "allow" the adaptations it's within DC's right as copyright holder. But DC has given Moore plenty of chances to participate, up to the point where they offered him to get the rights back permanently if he wrote a sequel. He refused. He just doesn't care. Dave Gibbons, in the other hand, is very involved in Watchmen projects.
@@marcelo-ramos I do kinda respect Allen Moore and what he stands for. He has said in the past that he isn’t against superhero movies he just doesn’t want his work to be adapted because they always miss the point and make a weaker story because of it. He must really dislike Zack the most because he always butchered the adaptation.
@@Sirjesterx I've read parts of doomsday clock for an upcoming video. From what ive seen its just not really for me. Are you a fan of it?? (Im keen to hear what you think of this new video cause we have a section on doomsday clock)
always strange finding a new channel and being shocked that its not huge. quality content my man! and i still cant believe We let Zack Snyder of all people adapt Watchmen (even tho i have a nostalgic fondness for that movie)
@@DareToEntertain I can understand that and honestly for me personally I think I think dc needs to stop adapting watchmen mostly because it feels so unnecessary and not interesting in my opinion.
@DareToEntertain To be honest I don't really think the Watchmen story is that good. Have the comic and I didn't think it was that interesting. Bit overrated for me, but revolutionary for the time
Well, there wasn't one. Now there is one. DC animated movies sell well enough that they keep doing them. It was a matter of time before they did one for Watchmen. I personally don't like any of their animated movies, they are not for me, since I just prefer to read the books. However, I understand an animated movie had to be done. It's for a different audience.
Haven't seen this adaptation nor do I plan to. I appreciate you making the editing choice to compare and contrast at 3:42 in the book, the layout of panels as he's on Mars is so important to depicting his hopelessness and detatchment as time ticks down before he drops the photo. The fact you see multiple panels as you read it is incredibly important and this animation style on this budget cannot achieve what the other adaptations tried to do in evoking that feeling. It can't be beaten because it's beautiful due to the nature of a comic book.
Basically, as with ALL adaptations of literary works, always read the ORIGINAL source material. That will ALWAYS be better. There are FEW examples of adaptions that are better than the ORIGINAL source material: 1) THE BOYS show 2) HARLEY QUINN animated show 3) etc..
The only way DC can probably do watchmen is to just leave it completely alone, stop adapting it, stop continuing it. Watchmen was meant to be a graphic novel series from the 80s and nothing else, not a long running comic franchise, not an edgy 2000s action movie, not a HBO series. It was meant to be a single novel and nothing else
I’ll be honest I would be completely fine with this adaptation if the voice acting was better, particularly Rorschach and Dr Manhattan’s voice acting. The voice acting in the motion comic/audiobook is so much better in my opinion and are pretty much the definitive voices for Most of the male cast for me. The voice direction for the cast seems to be heavily influenced by the Snyder movie, especially Rorschach with his Christian Bale Batman growl that’s in both movies.
Im a huge fan of watchmen and no matter how many times they try to adapt it into something other than a comic, it always turns out bad because they just dont fucking get it...
I’m really surprised by this, especially the widespread dislike. I was a big fan of the book and really appreciate the Zach Snyder movie. For me this was a really fresh way to digest the story, especially manhattan! I loved the mars scene and his time dilation background speech. Appreciate these views but definitely surprised, are we getting too picky? Cause like this is a 8/10 compared to the 2’s DC has been spitting out
Love this comment. For reference I have this movies 2 1/2 out of 5 on Letterboxd so it’s not like a disaster like the crisis movies which I had given like 1 Star. But more importantly chapter 2 just dropped and I have very strong opinions on it that I think play into what you are saying quite well.
I feel like a big reason why they keep splitting these films up is so that they can have more money to work with. A studio is likely more willing to put up more money for multiple shorter films rather than one longer one. But they're so stingy when it comes to animation that they still look unfinished at times. I could image the longer film would end up being just a slide slow with no animation at all (like a motion comic but with less motion).
Now this is 99% likely the case. To be able to make double the investment while not cutting 20-30mins out that ruins it in the end. In the second film/video I know my criticism won’t be it dragged or has filler. Which is one positive to come from this
Great vid.. i hadn't clocked the cgi spiderman history but it's very clear.. i enjoyed that show, although nobody else seems to.. anyway, thanks again.
I get this. I have used this defence for years, however when it detracts or distracts from the text it only becomes something that subtracts from the experience. And so when Zack made other changes you are then left with something that is a lot more muddied.
I think it's worth checking out if you're interested at all in this as an animated movie provided that you go into understanding it for what it is. I think it could have been more smooth, but I don't actually mind this art style, even if I would have prefered no 3D. As someone who's generally tired of 3D animation, blending it with 2D is about the only way I find it enjoyable anymore. I think the story feels a bit cold, detatched, and lifeless because that's just what the story is, for better or worse. I think that the nostalgia goggles for the book is butting up against reality when it comes to people's criticisms of its adaotations. It's not that I think Watchmen is bad. I think it has its place and appreciate it fir what it is in spite of itself sometimes, hence why I'm not overly bothered by its adaptations, but I think a lot of people just have a problem with what Watchmen is now, and they just don't recognize that a lot of that was already there to begin with. In short, Watchmen is good but overrated. This growing recognition is a good thing, though, because it means that people have become more skeptical and tired of decinstruction for its own sake.
I'm enjoying it. Not sure it really requires any prior knowledge of the story to follow what's happening. Interesting about the MTV Spidey show connection because that definitely came to mind while watching this.
Thats a hard no. It deviates and leaves so much from the book Snyders eye is good in certain areas like Dr Manhattans evolution into the all knowing all seeing being.
I would even disagree with this. The huge sequence of that in the live action misconstrues the entire thing. After rereading the book and this film that scene for me as aged so poorly
this yet again proves Watchmen is unfilmable. I love Snyder’s adaptation but it’s more of a summarized companion piece. the only way to get the complete Watchmen experience is by reading the book.
I didn't even know this existed. I own every version of the graphic novel, Before Watchmen & the obviously superior Watchmen motion comic. The HBO show is an aberration. The live action movie not great I will buy this as well but the feel is definitely off in tone and Gibbons art. The voice acting as well
Chapter 2 dropped last week and is much better. I have a video on that coming out this week. Keen to hear if more watchmen fans find out this is actually like… a thing that they can watch
@@DareToEntertain what did you think of "Before"? It largely misses but the Ozymandius' segment fleshes out the character to new depth. Jae Lee's art is for lack of a better word exquisite WB animated was the one thing they had going for them. Year One & DKR were fantastic but haven't watched anything new. This seems to be their go to style now Looking forward to your Part 2
@@thegadflygang5381 I had forgotten about "before" it's not really something ive doven much into. Quickly looking at the art and it looks beyond phenominal tbh imo. WB animation was literally what I was brought up on as a child. Any direction was gold. After years of struggling I think we MIGHT be going in a better direction. But I really do think its a wait and see. Content wise I love making DC content more than anything atm really. It also preforms the best.
Watching it, the direction is good but the cheap, unemotional character models bury it. Actors give their all and the goofy faces make you laugh at how stupid they look
Absolutely! They have just re-released it apart of their new set of comics to get people into reading DC. Itll be at a local store for sure soon or on Amazon for like $25 or so. Its legit one of my favourite DC stories period.
For the stupid people wondering why they're remaking the watchmen movie in animation, first let me say that it's not a remake of the live-action movie, it's an animated adaptation of the ORIGINAL COMIC BOOK. And if you actually bother to watch it you'll see it's pretty good. Surprisingly I liked it more than the live-action movie because it was more comic accurate.
Wasted one hour watching this only to realise it doesn't bring anything I didn't know already from the movie, overall it was ok but didn't like the voice acting, and I hated the cell shaded animation style in this case, it looks amazing when done right, to give an example, Berserk kept a good balance of 3D and 2D scenes (I'm talking about the movies not 2016 anime)
I don’t think there is one. The book is the best and really only way to first experience this. Then watch both animated and live action to be able to just experience it in a different but much worse version of the same story
3:47 I don’t think Zack was making a point because this and his other work is very similar just with a different story with no actual meaning. All cares about is sex, nudity and the weirdly vague sense of Grape. He doesn’t understand superhero’s and his whole god thing suits the boys more then what ever he did with the DC films
Of all the hills to die in, why that one? It's a soulless adaptation that fails in every aspect to convey the themes and attitude of the comic. Its visually nice but Zack Snyder fundamentally doesn't understand what he's adapting or why it's important. Spider-Man 2, Batman: The Movie, Scott Pilgrim vs The World and Dredd are all better adaptations that understand and encapsulate the look, feel and themes of what they're adapting that they look and feel like a comic books come to life. Watchmen feels like it's trying desperately not to be a comic book movie.
@@imahoare4742 The story (while not portraying the smaller nuances of the subjects) is literally almost panel for panel of the comic book with visual effects better than most films in general. Very realistic “heroes” and “villains”. Can’t tell who’s who half the time. Stylized with good action. Most superhero films don’t compare (Spider-Man 1 does)
I do have an entire section in this video how Snyder misinterpreted sequences which changes the entire meaning of certain plot elements. Harming the overall story. Now this isn’t objective by any stretch but saying it’s panel for panel when I really tried hard to make clear how Snyder’s work fails to lift certain concepts properly.
me who still gave up on literally everything DC after the Shitopolips Dump movie (refuse to even watch their shows, that is how deep my hatred of that movie goes): Is not surprised this movie choked considering how much in the shitter DC's parent company WB is often said to be.
I thought it would be different from the live action movie. It's basically the same, but really boring. The voice actors suck. They seem there just for a paycheck.

This means absolutely nothing without Alan Moore's name being tied to it.
Is it an adaptation if it's just a shot-for-shot, word-for-word, paste up of the comic? Because to me, this was just a step up from the motion comic.

Zack snyder did it better
i love the hbo watchman show…i’m pretty sure that was an unpopular back then but i loved it
Most unnecessary film ever, the live action movie is better
Complaint too much about the anime. Focus more on the story.
They keep telling the same story over and over again it's bored
The snyder shit is worse vision
this animated version are pure base on the novel itself.
Funny how this made me see Snyder's stuff in a new light.
I thought it would be different from the live action movie. It's basically the same, but really boring. The voice actors suck. They seem there just for a paycheck.
Speak for yourself the voices are great
It's based off the comic completely
