so watchmen, who wants to see it?
it comes out in 2009.

"In a gritty and alternate 1985 the glory days of costumed vigilantes have been brought to a close by a government crackdown, but after one of the masked veterans is brutally murdered an investigation into the killer is initiated. The reunited heroes set out to prevent their own destruction, but in doing so discover a deeper and far more diabolical plot." Written by Evan Murphy.

YES! IT WAS HIS KIDDIE PORNO!






I don't really know if I liked it or not. Visually it was absolutely amazing. Snyder is awesome.

The graphic novel was, and will always be, amazing, none the less.





Did y'all like the new ending? As compared to the giant monster going NOM NOM NOM on the city?

I saw it last night. I have mixed feelings about it.

Firstly, the cinematography and art direction were wonderful -- not as good as 300, but the movie looked pretty good. I think the feel of the film -- a gritty, almost dystopian world -- is a breath of fresh air in the genre of superhero movies, as is the story of the fall, rather than the rise, of a group of superheroes.

But I think the plot meanders too much. By the last half of the movie, I forgot what the plot really was. Were the heroes trying to prevent nuclear war with the Soviets? Or were they trying to find out who was trying to kill them? Or was Blue Man (aka Dr. Manhattan) trying to find his place in the universe? The plot lines were all related, but at a certain point they began to diverge too much, and the lack of cohesion in the story turned to general confusion.

Oh, and at 2 hour and 45 minutes, the movie is way too long. Combined with the meandering plot line, I was pretty happy to get out of the theater. I feel like Stephenie Meyer, J.K. Rowlings, and The Watchmen production staff must've hired the same editor.

I agree. I saw it last night, and thought the storyline dragged on way too much, and unnecessarily. However, I enjoyed the movie. There were some confusing parts to it as well that I didn't understand. Oh yeah, I caught the 11:30pm show, and it ended at 2:40. Go figure. I fell alseep for a couple minutes on some scenes. Also, mind the fact that there were immature 20 year olds sitting behind me, always complaining about the penis keeps showing. I mean the first couple of times was funny, but after a while I was fine with it, and it didn't bother me at all. Yet, those guys behind me acted like they never saw a dick before.

Not a great movie, but good movie.

i thought it was long too but i thought it was 'cause i was super tired.

he...wasn't buff

he was thick but he wasn't really cut.

he was average size for his age

Nite Owl has a bit of a gut in the graphic novel... but I thought the trailer for the movie showed that he has one too. Maybe he sucked it in for when he got into his suit

And man, they actually showed Dr Manhattan's weiner? Hehehehehe... but tbh, I didn't even notice he wasn't wearing pants until halfway through the book. Will be looking forward to it on big screen

it's nothing to look forward to. it was kinda weird imo. i was thinkin' to myself, dude, put some pants on.

lol it was rated r for a reason.

If it wasn't for the blue penis then it was for all the sex and freaking blood everywhere.


I'll never think of "Hallelujah" the same way again. :(

I was kidding about looking forward to seeing his glowing blue penis.

Seriously guys, I wish this Friday would come faster. 6 days is too long... I feel like everyone but me has already watched it.

^ lol...just don't watch it late at night. cuz i watched the midnight show, and i fell had my eyes closed a couple times for about 1-2 minutes spans.

i know right.

see this movie was 3 hours for nothing.

movies like lord of the rings who were three hours had a reason to be that long, because every minute or scene had a purpose. i thought they dragged this storylinee wayyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooo much .

it was for dramatic effect. it looked good.

Seriously. I was starting to forget what was supposed to be happening.

ex f*cking actly

sometimes i was like....zach snyder what were you THINKING?

lol, he has a bit of a gut in the movie when he isn't wearing his suit. he's just... an average middle-aged man. i think if you put any average sized person in a suit like that, they'd look pretty buff. shit, the suit looked buff even when nobody was in it.

anyways, i liked it, but i didn't love it. i never finished the graphic novel, so maybe my opinions would be different if i did. i do think it was a bit long, but it definitely didn't put me to sleep.

OMG i thought i was tripping when i saw that

Yeah, I saw it last night too and I saw it at 10:30pm and I didn't know how long the movie was...and for Gigi/Joanne, I saw it at IMAX in Richmond then had to drive home...to Maple Ridge...and give people rides home...got home at 3am, had to wake up at 5:30am for work. fml.

But about the movie, hah, I thought it was well done, yet very long like some said. And even though I knew about the gore and crap...I still had to hide my face a few times because I'm ridiculously squeamish with that kinda stuff. =p

^ omg.... that's totally across Greater Vancouver! ><'' You're too nice, Steph, driving everyone back home.

The suit wasn't supposed to look like Batman: Forest Time. The costume wasn't supposed to be so hyped up. In the actual comic it's mostly all spandax.

I know he isn't really buff in person. He's average.

You have to realize it's not just another comic book movie. It's social criticism. The actual book has some scary thoughts on philosophy and outlook on life. There's a shit ton of genuine gold quotes. I'm telling you, Zack Snyder did a good job of replicating exactly what the movie was. Well. At least up until the end, which I thought was f*cking retarded for changing the end.

Otherwise, I have to say, the movie wasn't clean and neat. But it did the job.

yo i heard this movie was too damn long and you had to stare at a blue flaccid dick most of the time
