**Offical** Watchmen Movie Thread

Me too, but that news video gave me a boner.

Ditto.

Well... not a boner, but you get the gist.

Dont know how many have actually read the graphic novel, but I have heard that Synder has changed the ending of the film dramatically, and that is probably the best part of the whole f-ing book. I will still see it, but my expectations are slowly headed south.

Something tells me one of the changes is
roll over or quote for spoiler

rorshack doesn't die

rorshack doesn't die

That sould be ty. His death is an important part of the ending, IMO.

I guess they need to leave it open to a sequel.

I'm not saying it will be that but hollywood's been pussy about killing people off. And his death isnt badass enough like the Spartan's was in 300. He basically got snuffed out like a candle

I think I'm the only one that thinks this, but to me this movie looks like it is flat out going to suck ass.

I read the Watchmen when it was originally published as a 12 issue maxi series. I won't say I'm a huge fan of it, but I at least realize why so many people like it. But I think this movie is going to fail...it wasn't meant to be made into a movie, it was meant to be a comic....and there's just something about the previews that isn't working for me.

If I were to attempt to distill just what my problem with the previews is...

For so many years movie adaptations of comic books came off as stupid hokey and unrealistic. The characers just looked stupid, the action looked stupid. Movie adapations of comics have advanced light years in the last 2 decades(the first Hulk film aside)...but the characters and action in the previews for this movie have that stupid hokey unrealistic look of old.

I'm calling that this movie is going to suck because the effects and costumes will fail and won't come off as realistic enough...and yes, the irony of that fate befalling the Watchmen isn't lost on me.

And somehwere, Alan Moore will smile.

Especially with the amount of money he and Gibbons are going to make from this probable catastrophe.

So is this what Hollywood has become? Nothing but comic book and graphic novel movies?

And even worse remakes of bad movies

[CuckingFunt]

I saw the first 22 minutes of Watchmen at WonderCon yesterday morning. It is absolutely amazing.

And even worse remakes of bad movies

Last month: Friday the 13th.
The month before that: My Bloody Valentine (in 3D no less!).
This month: Last House on the Left.


When will the madness end?
