ITF Watch: Watchmen (2009 film)

What if the American Dream came true? The iconic graphic novel by
Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons explores this question, among others
as challenging, but does Zack Snyder’s film handle the subject
just as well? In episode 111, Luke & James explore the
polarizing adaptation in an attempt to weigh the good against the
bad, all while exploring the concept at the heart of the podcast:
What makes for a great adaptation?


Topics: the way familiarity with the comics changes the viewing
experience, the problem of overly faithful adaptations,
misinterpretations of the main points of the story, special
effects wizardry, a reference to another Ink to Film project, and
an explanation of the Bubastis Problem.
