Zack Snyder's cinematic adaptation of Watchmen was met with a fairly mixed reception, mainly due to the director's gentle, detached approach to tackling the source material. Afraid that he might anger fanboys if he changed anything, Synder evoked to just, like, filming the comic exactlyas it was printed on the page. As a result, the movie feels kind of static and flat at times, though the approach was certainly admirable, and there are certainly some good parts. But for all its blandess, I'm not sure that there's an excuse for the now infamous airship-based sex scene, which happens between superheroes Nite Owl and Silk Spectre, and is backed bizarrely by Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." What? Snyder makes a super-conscious effort to adapt the material with care, and then there's... this? Aside from feeling altogether conflicted with the rest of the movie, it's just awkward as hell to watch and pretty much pushes Watchmen into "bad movie" territory.
