it's not that it's underrated, it's just not the type of comic-book movie for the masses for however many reasons
I had a feeling it wasn't gonna be a huge success...
The general public didn't really know about Watchmen to begin with. Even some guys that come to my comic shop who have been into comics for years and years barely knew what Watchmen was about.
It was crazy to see it come to life on the big screen, but kinda
at the same time.
I knew Zack Snyder went into it with good intentions, but the general public didn't buy into it...A lot of my friends were like "It was kinda cheesy". Well...that's what the graphic novel was poking fun at, the cheesy-ness of 'Masked heroes'. But the joke didn't really translate to the general public.
When I got up from my seat on that opening show I was like
but I could tell most people just murmuring stuff like "Yea, pretty good I guess..."
I just hope if they ever make a movie for
Maus, probably my favorite graphic novel ever, it doesn't get 'Watchmen'-ed by the general public.
But I doubt it will...Since it was based on real events, I have a feeling audiences will have a genuine connection to the film...
