anyone else see and like "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" ?
(the 1988 Terry Gilliam one, not the 1943 one)

Also, they should have used some of Terry Gilliam's animated work. That ending title was pretty bad and not very modernly epic.

I thought the Watchmen movie was competent rather than inspired. In fact, I thought the most original clever part of the movie was the opening credits.

It wasn't bad, but there was just no way it could handle the sheer depth of the comic. To be fair, I haven't seen the ultimate cut though, but well... I went with a few friends who hadn't read the comic, and they came out wondering why I had made such a big deal of going to see it. Then I loaned them the comic and they understood....

I really think the only way the movie could have been truly great would be to get someone with their own vision and go at it from a different angle. Terry Gilliam would have been interesting. It probably would have failed, but it'd have failed gloriously.

BTW, have to share this..my signed Rorschach portrait by John Higgins

I do happen to say 'fishy fishy fishy fish' at opportune moments. Great 'movie' (it really is just a collection of skits)... but a superb collection of skits it is.

One gets the impression the Gilliam directed this bit

I really just didn't get the point of making that movie. I fail to see what it added to an artwork that was perfectly fine in its original medium.

A truly visionary director, the likes of Terry Gilliam or Stanley Kubrick, might have revealed some new insight. Snyder just translated the pages onto screen and in a predictable manner at that, and the whole "graphic novel on screen" was already done by Rodriguez, so it wasn't even that technically impressive. The one part of the movie that worked was the title sequence
