Somehow there's been a review comparison made from David Hayter's Watchmen script, the one written for Paul Greengrass and allegedly being very faithful to the original comic, and the new script from Alex Tse for Zak Snyder's latest attempt at getting the project off the ground and there are some seriously worrying comments coming from it.

Latino Review give us the review, and here are the main points:

The thing is that Tse's script isn't a new draft. He's just taken Hayter's script and added some stuff in. Too bad it's all dumb stuff...Hayter used much of Moore's dialogue. Hayter's main contribution was to take the story and make it fit in a satisfying two hour movie. Tse has taken all that work and added some new scenes in that do nothing for the story...

Hayter's draft was more of a political thriller, like something Robert Redford would have starred in in the 70s. In Tse's draft we see Rorschach, the crazy vigilante, fighting cops in almost every single scene that he's in. Dr. Manhattan, the only character with real superpowers, teleports out of conversations to stop Islamic terrorists from nuking the Port of Long Beach. It's like someone told Tse to include an action scene every seven or eight pages...

...All that Tse has added is rotten dialogue and cheesy action scenes.

Oh dear, that doesn't sound promising at all, and actually sounds like the exact thing that all Watchmen fans were scared that the studios would do with this material, turn it into a dumb action story and forget the real story. It also sounds like Hayter's script was the right one for the job.

They go on to talk about the ending, which I won't do so as to spare you the spoilers, but suffice to say this seems to be where Tse has made a positive mark, but overall it doesn't work.

We can but hope that they return to the Hayter script, come on Snyder, bow to the pressure from the fans - it's coming.
