First of all, damn, I just rewatched "The Dark Knight" a while ago and found that the actual quality was lower than the impression; I rewatched this last night, and the impression was completely opposite to the former (yep, the last time I watched the castrated version). In this case, it feels like it's on the verge of being subverted--it's just setting up an institution and forcing myself to admit that "It turns out that "Watchmen" is the best superhero-themed movie!" Ah. In the end, I realized that my feelings at this time were not long-term, and I did not draw any conclusions.
But the following personal opinions are completely clear:
Although I am not a fan of American comics, and I have never seen the original comics of "Watchmen", it can be seen and affirmed that the connotative achievements of this film are mainly due to the original work, and Zach By virtue of his own enthusiasm and unignorable luck, Schneider perfectly and but not completely "carried" the idea of the original work by highly restoring the comics. In the end, the film successfully borrowed the light, and the form and the core together killed all the commercial desires. Similar works in the stream. But it cannot be denied that Zach is really keen on form, which leads to the fact that the core of the story, symbols and propositions in this film are only "carried" but not "analyzed". At the inner level, it can almost be asserted that he does not have the authorship of a director. So there is such a situation: in terms of the proposition itself, even the "Dark Knight", which is recognized as the best, will be easily crushed by this film; in the discussion and expression of the proposition, it is not as good as TDK, and even the Fork Man series Several outstanding works are not as good. In the gap between the two, it must be affirmed that "Watchmen" is one of the few that can put Hitlerism (no fascism in essence), the relationship between the peace issue and the country's "born out of trouble" on the table of serious literature If it is defined as a simple confrontation between good and evil, or if it is defined in terms of universal values, it is simply an insult to this work.
Taking it back, these 215 minutes really amused me. The ghost knows what happened to those who couldn't watch it. How could such an awesome audio-visual effect reach the senses of some people and eat shit! What a pity. Just relying on this picture, this soundtrack, this narrative arrangement, and this rhythm control (wait a minute, the later works of Slag Director have retreated in these aspects, thank you for taking your seat), even if you are essentially empty, I can watch it Don't get bored for ten hours! On the way, I wanted to say that this is the Real Comic Porn in my heart, but because the core of others is so good, I am embarrassed to make such a conclusion.
So, the best superhero movie, which may never end in my case, continues to hover between "The Dark Knight" and "Watchmen". But if you want to say the best superhero movie, "Watchmen" is definitely not one of them. Unprecedented or never.
