    This movie was marketed like a cheap whore because it failed at being a good movie.

    I know for a fact that many people went to see this movie only because it was directed by Zack Snyder, "the director who brought you 300."

    I know for a fact that many more had not even read the comic book -- oops, I mean "graphic novel" -- before watching this movie, and many more than that will definitely not read the graphic novel after watching it.

    Approximately 50%, if not more, of all the violence is already shown in the trailers and related marketing material. People who expected more from the director of 300 were instead presented with the most formulaic sequence of "character development" seen in the history of cinema yet, not to mention that they were dull anyway.

    The CGI wasn't even that great. I've seen Wii games with better graphics.

    I am glad that for once a movie deserves its failure to meet ticket sales expectations, if not fail financially altogether...

    I'd rather watch Funny Games again than watch Watchmen again.

    Now that's saying something.

    This movie was the bain of my existence of 2008/09 existence in the theaters. It was horrible. Especially compared to the comic.

    I liked it... as good as the comic? No. I thought they portrayed the char's pretty well... but when youre trying to fit an entire mini series of char development into 2 and a half hours, obviously it wasn't meant to be. but the studios were too big-a pussys to make one, and leave room for a sequel. ending still sucked. rorshach you my boy

    Haha, yeah, right. People were already walking out of the theatres before the movie reached its halfway point. (Those cocks apparently never heard of an intermission. Yes, it's that long. Longer than an Indian movie with an hour worth of music videos, even.) Why would they watch any sequel?

    See, the thing is that Watchmen was last week's flavor for just one weekend. Nobody talks about it. Deep down they know it was retarded. Exactly what kind of character development is it to have Rorschach be this hardcore badass wannabe and suddenly out of nowhere have him start crying at the end like a little emo bitch about how he just wants to die? These Watchmen are supposed to have this fraternity thing going on and that blue Manhattan guy just snaps his finger and blows Rorshach's ass up like it's just another day at the ranch? Puta, por favor.

    I was waiting for you to say something retarded like this to confirm for me that your opinion was misaken and that I could void it.

    Thank you for delivering.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Geez, let it go.

    So he didn't like the movie, big deal.

    You guys are making serious responses to someone who is obviously not going to change his opinion no matter what and is just responding for the sake of pissing people off. This would usually be refers to as "feeding the troll", i suggest to just drop it before this thread is filled with more nonsense.

    In my opinion? no, read the comic instead. Is not a BAD movie but the comic... well... it`s just better...

    Just watched it for the first time last night, Directors Cut 720p bluray version... it was pretty good i must say, im a sucker for voilence and fighting and those parts in this movie did not dissapoint.

    Manhattan was alright, Rorschach was badass, but my fav was The Comedian, sure he was a douche but i really dig the actor ever since i saw him as daddy Winchester in Supernatural.

    Also, Lolol blue penis. Just had to say it ;P

    gos27, do you like faux intellectual movies? Watchmen would be perfect for you in that case. You can then talk about how the movie really benefited from being three hours long.

    It's been months since anyone bothered with this thread. Stop trying to troll more by bringing up an old argument.

    So you didn't like the movie because of blah blah blah.

    How about you stop spending so much time in this thread trying to piss off people that actually like it and go discuss things about a movie that you'd actually like?

    Finally saw this movie and it was freaking awesome!!! I never read the Watchmen graphic novel/comic, as I was never a big DC comic fan. I expected a super hero movie of sorts, but the Rorschach line from the commercials was a giveaway, "The world look up and shout 'Save Us'...and i'll whisper 'No'".

    I love the "aged superheroes coming out of retirement" story. If you could do these amazing things and not live the normal "8-to-5, family of 5, work until your 65, mortgage, retirement in Florida" kind of life, how could you ever give that up? It was like the Incredibles, but with human faces to the dilemma.

    I think calling Dr. Manhattan "emo" is ridiculous, though I think the entire "emo" subculture is ridiculous, as well as our characterization of the subculture. Dr. Manhattan reminds me of the Beyonder from Marvel comics. He had the power to do anything, the power of a god. He got bored with that power because anything was possible and therefore no longer held the significance it would for a mere mortal, and humanity's petty squabbles were meaningless to him so he moved on to other things in the universe. Can you imagine that kind of possibility? Of course not, otherwise you wouldn't be calling him an "emo".

    Also, anyone comparing the movie to the book is yelling at the moon. Books will always be better than their film versions. Better not to judge this movie on how it stacks up to the book, but how well it does on its own at telling a story and making us care.


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    A) Please tell me you saw the 3 hours extended version. I did some days ago, and it felt so much more awsome than the last time i saw it.

    B) Read the comics, do yourself a favor.

    C) SOME movies are better than it`s book version... just saying...

    You can "watch" the comic as well, with the 5 hour full motion comic version released on blu-ray
