I'm not sure anyone else could have done as good of a job with the Watchman. It's not something that would interest a Steven Spielberg or Nolan Ryan. In the hands of someone who would normally take on a project like this (think Uwe Boll) it turned out so much better than I ever dreamed possible. It is the best movie Snyder ever or will make.The Boys is rather meh to me. It has moments, but times of it trying way too hard. The first season is especially guilty of it. Gets better for 2 and 3 (haven’t seen 4 yet). I’d never say it is a must watch, but fun if you can get past the first season.
The Watchman is something that I feel is really begging for a live action piece that does it justice. The movie has moments, but too Zack Snyder. The series is more of a universe piece than the Watchman. One day I hope someone can do it justice. I hope the same for Blood Meridian too, but my hopes aren’t real high.
For the most part, I don't believe in Zach's movies mostly because they please no one. The audience won't show up, the studios are all pissed about the return on investment, and even Snyder admits his directors cut doesn't live up to his vision. If he's not happy with the movies he's making, he really should stop because there is no chance an audience is all of sudden going to turn a film of his into a blockbuster at this point.
