Watchmen[views:32075][posts:99]____________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 8:34pm - Dave_Maggot ""] my new favorite movie. it's like i thought in my head "hey, i want to see the perfect movie. that'll fit my mood, and just make me leave the theater completely satisfied." and bam. there it was. fucking perfection. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 9:15pm - Dave_Maggot ""] yes yes indeed david, twas a masterpiece |
| ________________________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 9:21pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] It was very very good. Saw it in IMax, well worth the 38.75 for 3 tickets. I'd go see it again, to be honest. Rad movie. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 9:35pm - Dankill ""] Hands down, AMAZING |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 9:49pm - My_Dying_Bride ""] did any of you read the comics? cause i am a watchmen noob but im gonna see it tommorow |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 10:01pm - Dave_Maggot ""] i read it a while ago. but i think you'd be able to enjoy it either way. it was an incredible movie. the only drawback i can see is that its 2 hours and 40 minutes long. but i never wanted it to end |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 10:03pm - My_Dying_Bride ""] ya i heard it was way long but if it can hold it for that long fuck it.... dark knight was like 140 min of nonstop |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 10:16pm - xanonymousx ""] i heard that if you were really into the comic its kinda a let down. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 10:23pm - Dave_Maggot ""] i didnt see any indication of how that could be true |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 10:24pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Seeing this tomorrow. I'm expecting a lot. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 10:54pm - xanonymousx ""] My friend who was big into the book, which I have never read, said that although it follows the book, there is A LOT of stuff that HARDCORE fans would not like because they left a lot out. But he did say that it was a good movie. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 7,2009 11:01pm - Martins ""] I read the book and I thought it kicked ass although I think the ending was a little meh. I can't wait for this movie to kick my ass. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 12:04am - boine(nli) ""] ya i read the book and thought the movie was good but i dont get why people are let down by it who read the book they cant have been expecting every scene to be in there |
| __________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 1:37am - narkybark ""] Saw it and read it, it's pretty much as good of an adaptation as you're gonna get. Several things are cut or changed but I can see the reasoning why. I don't think the actor for Veidt was a good choice but otherwise pretty solid film. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 4:15am - boine(nli) ""] at some point hopefully they release a longer one in theaters with all the cut footage and black freighter added in to the movie |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 4:48am - NuclearWinter ""] This movie sucked. I rarely go out to see a movie, but my friends convinced me that this was a stellar film and it really wasn't. So sick on the "300" style already. 5/10. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 9:53am - handinjury ""] Going to see it tonight, it better live up to the hype. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 10:26am - DrewBlood ""] saw it last night, that movie was way better than i thought it would be. as far as technical stuff goes, the editing in this movie was pretty much flawless. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 10:36am - Dankill ""] I'd call it about 90% faithful to the original graphic novel. The things changed are for the most part understandable. Otherwise, it didn't ruin anything for me at all. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 11:06pm - xanonymousx ""] in the opening scene the hotel room is #300 don't know if that's apart of the comic book, or was a cameo by 300.... |
| _________________________________ [Mar 9,2009 12:09am - Martins ""] Anyone who read the novel and said the movie sucked or the ending missed the point is a flat out idiot. It was a great movie and the ending was great and had the same meaning as the novel's. Can't wait for the DVD to come out though. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 9,2009 12:26am - niccolai ""] didnt like the movie.blue dude and inkblot dude were awsome, and inkblot dudes prison scene was rad, but thats about it |
| _______________________________ [Mar 9,2009 12:27am - Nic. ""] The movie was alright, but it wasn't even half the quality of the book. Therefore it's pointless to see it again, because I already own the book. |

| _________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 2:03pm - Martins ""] There's a lot of blue dick but it's never like the main focus when he shows up. It was done tastefully. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 2:16pm - BrianDBB ""] Didn't think it was that good. Action scenes were AWESOME but the rest was kinda cheesy. Never read the book/comic though. |

| ________________________________________ [Mar 14,2009 7:26pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] FWIW, the book is a twice-read - once to see that it is awesome, and another to figure out what the hell was going on. I like that it holds up to multiple reads and multiple interpretations - the more I read it, the more little things I catch that may or may not be Ozymandias' little manipulations. |

| _____________________________________________ [Mar 15,2009 3:58pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Just saw this, and it was fucking amazing. This was easily one of the few cinematic adaptations of a graphic novel/comic book that stayed as true to the story as possible (or at least plausible). I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who goes into a movie of this nature expecting it to be a perfect representation of the story it was based upon is an idiot and shouldn't be allowed to see the movie in the first place, since it is an ADAPTATION. The elements changed weren't so far off or stupid that they ruined the experience. I'll be seeing this again when I actually have the time to do so. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 15,2009 5:09pm - the_reverend ""] please, express your feelings for this movie in regards to the blue dongers please. |
| _____________________________________________ [Mar 15,2009 5:45pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] The blue donger wasn't as big as I thought it would be, but it was still fantastic...especially when there were 4 in one scene. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 15,2009 6:05pm - the_reverend ""] the max dongage I remember was 3 dinks. there were 4 on the screen at one time? and with dr manhattan's powers, why do you need the rest of the team? |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 15,2009 7:45pm - the_reverend ""] probably had a V on. this differs so much from most comics cause it's not all stories about how/why/what about their powers. powers are so secondary to the storyline. with xmen, etc.. it's all about how the got their powers and matching them up pokemon style with all the other mutants. |

| _________________________________________ [Nov 23,2010 9:34am - TheRidersofDoom ""] This movie was underrated, people expected more action and more sexy women I loved it though, and it has inspired me to pick up the novel when I get the money, as always usually the source material is superior. I did see the spirit this week, which i think came out the same year and was sadly even further put into the shadows. Very strange but very good movie. |
