It’s our actual review, five minutes after seeing Watchmen! Be sure to comment, subscribe, and tell your friends! And yeah, it’s not the best audio ever.
Justin is right. … Justin is right. Snyder falls way short in the ideas department, which is a real shame. Without the perspective of decent ordinary folks, the film vulgarizes the politics to a choice between libertarian reaction and cynical liberalism. Crucially he alters Rorschach’s formative experience. The public gang rape was balanced in the novel by the crowd that fights back in solidarity with each other right brfore the blast. Who watches the watchmen? WE DO! The film is great but a real let down too.
Thought it was … Thought it was great, but the sex scene had us bending over our chair looking for “invisible change land” because we came to see watchmen, not a o with “hallelulia” in the background X_X
Why must Justin and Pete disagree about everything? T_T
Squid works because its external.
Changed ending works because the energy attacked AMERICA. Thus making him external after the attack.
I loved the graphic … I loved the graphic novel BUT I went in to the theater not thinking “how is this going to compare.” As soon as the lights went down, I dived right into that world and it was fantastic. It was fun and exciting and sexy and violent and everything a comic book movie should be.
I liked it didnt … I liked it didnt understand the book when I read it but watching the movie helped me to understand the story alot better. P.s. Iam glad they left that pirate out of it that stuff was stupid.
Grade A
It’s a … Grade A
It’s a great adaption movie. I give Zack creds for pulling it off. I’ve had faith in his directing skills since Dawn of the Dead and I wasn’t let down by his job on 300.
Not the best opener or box office winner in the long term in my opinion but DVD and BLU Rays will do well.
The visuals were intense and Alan Moore’s charcters were portayed precisely.
I was annoyed by the plentiful “smurf- -mandingo” and so little Malin Akerman in the “buck”.
It, in my opinion, … It, in my opinion, made no sense in any culture, especially now. As I watched it, I was thinking, “Man, this is really deep and clever”, and of course this film is supposed to make you think, so I did. I found that thinking only made the end feel stupid because Nixon declaring peace with Russia just because they happened to not blow up a city is ludicrous. Also, overall, the tone never really took itself seriously except for in the flashbacks and the poor ending, so it was hard to feel emotion.
lmao “thats not … lmao “thats not your gonads”
I completely agree with Alex B+ visually stunning but its missing a lot of themes that were important in the graphic novel.
it was fantastic, … it was fantastic, the best part of the movie were the actors they were perfect fits, especially Rorschach man he is Rorschach, the ending really bugged me, as did a few other parts, but other than that it was good,i give it a four out of five
As a fan of the … As a fan of the comic, I give the movie a 4/5 stars. I had some issues, but they got way more right than was wrong. For the general populace, it’s probably more of a 2/5 stars movie. I think a lot of non-comic moviegoers just won’t get it.
The energy crisis … The energy crisis stuff added in is a slap in the face given how much they had to cut, especially since most of the cuts involve superheroes and how they fit in, or rather don’t fit in to the world anymore. They also took it easier on “groups” than Moore did, as he basically blasted everyone harshly and let the reader decide. Even better job portraying a comic character here than Ledgers Joker for Haley, without whom all the actors might as well be computer rendered for all their “range” shown.
it felt sort of … it felt sort of like when you describe a comic book to a friend, “…and this guy was blown up and has superpowers now, and this other guy was trying to solve this other guys murder, and…”
it was a movie of what happened in watchmen without really capturing what it was about.
i saw it a couple … i saw it a couple of nights ago and i agree with alex and pete, i think they had to change the ending, however their choice was not the best. Still awesome freaking movie.
My opinion is mixed … My opinion is mixed, but my major complaint was that Nite Owl was the only character that seemed to react to anything. Everyone else was so rigid and nearly emotionless in their performances. That made the dialogue choppy when it should have flowed better. Still a good story with deep characters. I definitely see how Watchmen influenced the comic industry.
And in watching alot of the Youtube vids i found that Non fans of the graphic novel rave about it, and die hard fans like myself would have wished to seen the ending in the graphic novel.

i agree with alex jones review of them film
The movie ending …
The movie ending makes more sense for this post-9/11 culture than if the producers stuck with the original GN ending.
No where near as …
No where near as good as The Dark Knight or Iron Man. Those IMO are the current high standard for comic films.

I disagree Justin. Only the actress who played Sally Jupiter was bad. Malin Akerman is a pretty good actress.
