Watchmen

Like the cinematography was amazing. But, some parts were a bit boring and the use of licensed music was overdone. If you barely read the comic you would probably not like it.
 
The fighting was some of the best I've seen. That masked guy (don't even wanna attempt to spell his name) was a total bada$$.
 
I'm probably going to see it tomorrow. Looks great.

Everyone at work is like "Who's the blue guy suppose to be?" Like the dude in the coat and weird face wasn't enough?

Rorschach.

I was gonna see it today, but everyone was busy. Maybe I'll get around to it tomorrow.

Snyder recreated the graphic novel too well, from what I heard. He did a straight adaptation, but forgot about the fact that he was making a movie so it came off very stiff and slow. If only they had gotten a good director to work on the movie...
 
I loved it, but the sex scenes were embarrassing, especially when there's KIDS IN THE AUDIENCE! Seriously, slap every parent in the movie theater for godsakes!

Rorschach, was incredible. Night Owl was cool, but had a sense of dorky, Clark Kent, essence about him.

Also, sweet gory special effects :D It was the most bloodiest movie I've seen next to 300!

Was anyone else disturbed by the blue weenie? O.o
 
Oh... my.... GOD! The Watchmen was one of the best movies I have ever seen. I remember ranting and raving about how The Dark Knight had been the most enjoyable movie I'd seen since The Fellowship of the Ring, and I thought it would be another 5 years or so before I loved anything that much again, but the Watchmen absolutely nailed it. The story was fantastic, and the storytelling equally great. The characters involved were so rich and well drawn that any one of them could have had their own movie and it would have been incredibly entertaining. The actors, for the most part, each played their roles incredibly well. The one exception maybe would be the chick member of the Watchmen (Spectre's daughter I think), but what she lacked in acting ability she made up for in hotness. The music was perfectly suited to both the time period and the emotional weight of each scene, from Bob Dylan to Simon and Garfunkel to Jimmy Hendrix, the music never failed to add another layer of depth to already powerful scenes. Everything... just... WOW!

I should mention that I have not read the comics, so if there were discrepancy's (the end, I'm told, is quite different) I can't comment on those. I did have to ask a few questions about some of the characters (for people who don't have superpowers they sure fight like they do) for backstory and explanation (Rorschach's mask for ex.), but none of that really got in the way of my enjoyment of the movie.

In my opinion, an absolute must see. It is something different, and extraordinary, and the finesse with which it is accomplished leaves one wondering why there aren't more movies out there like this.

Me n my friend were just talking about that. It's almost like they wanted to prove a point or something. The movie receives a 3/5 from me. Rorschach was awesome though.

The blue weenie was in the graphic novel too (not quite as noticeable though) so it was probably out of loyalty to the source material that it was put in the movie.

What a wonderful tribute. But, they coulda just kept him with his super underwear on. If people complained about that...then I'd be terrified.

well at least they are trying to make it as similar as it's source material as possible.... something some movies don't do nowadays

Sometimes, I wish it was just loosely based off the source material. I wanted more action, less story-telling. Cause the story wasn't that great, IMO.

Wasn't it rated R, though? Technically, there shouldn't have been kids there, and if there were, the parents should have looked at WHY it was rated R.

That said, though, I would have preferred shorter sex scenes myself.
