Here’s what Zack had to say:
That’s a wrap!
I promise to refrain from getting too sentimental, but I want to take a
moment to say thanks to the Watchmen cast & crew. You have all been
phenomenal. It has been quite an experience and I could not have done
it without the hard work and determination of each and every one of
you. A film adaptation of Watchmen has been in the works for almost 20
years and thanks to you, it is finally in the can. It has been such a
pleasure to be surrounded by a team that is so dedicated and that has
given 110% each and every day. I am extremely grateful for the level of
attention to detail put forth by each department to capture all of the
texture that makes Watchmen the incredibly unique property that it is.
Although we still have a lot of work to do in post, the shoot has been
an experience I will not soon forget!
Thank you,
Zack
P.S. While I’m in the process of thanking people, I figure it’s a good
time to say thanks to the Watchmen fans for all of their continued
support. Since the crew got wrap gifts, I figured you deserved a little
something as well. So, to bring a little closure to the previous
“Storyboard” blog, I’ve included a frame from the film that shows what
it looks like when it all comes together. Thanks!
I’m excited to see what else Snyder has in store for us. Whatever it is, I know it’s going to be good; I can’t give you guys any details, but trust me when I tell you that this movie has been approached with as much heart and goodwill as possible. I don’t know if Watchmen could have been done better by someone else, but no other director could have brought the passion and commitment that Zack has brought.

Snyder has been accused of being too superficial for Watchmen, but he sure can put cool stuff onscreen. My hopes get higher for this with every new thing that comes out. I just wish I could get my hands on the script.
Even though this looks cool enough, I can't help but think that Greengrass or even Aronofsky would handle the material much better. I reserve my judgement till I see the film, of course, it's just that I'm not to thrilled about Zack Snyder and his MTV film school style. 300 was a pain to sit through.
It all depends on how Snyder approached the film. For 300, he was making a Frank Miller comic come to life, and he was able to do it even better than Miller (and Rodriguez) was able to do it. So, if he puts as much effort into making an Alan Moore comic, this thing could be special.
Hurm.
Ahh this is so cool. Damn, still 12 months to go
So there are actually people who think 300 is better than Sin City?
Re: Zack Snyder. Funny how such a mediocre filmmaker gets so much geek love.
This is such in depth discussion i think the internet is going to melt.
Snyder is a hack. This movie will be terrible.
In a parallel universe, Greengrass got to make this. And yeah, it kicked all kinds of ass.
