Just Saw the Watchmen

[reddragon1981_2002]

Ruby, I went with a girl who said the same thing, she loves comic book movies and sadly she was disappointed. However as a huge fan of the source material, I loved it. This is not your typical comic book movie, so just keep that in mind when you see the film.

and I honestly do not recall seeing a worse movie in many years.

Two and half hours of self indulgence disguised in a pretty wrapper.I feel like the kid who got suckered twice...once by "300" and yet again now.

Wow, if you thought 300 hundred sucked...well I'm def. gonna see Watchmen now....I wont wait to download it. I'm gonna actually pay money to see it just because you said 300 sucked. Your movie loving scale is like the opposite of mine.

I wonder how many people are going to see this thinking "ohh another comic movie" and then think it's crap when it isn't like IronMan or Batman?

Watchmen was pivotal in changing the way comics were written and laid out. It's supposed to be a deconstruction of the superhero genre not just another flashy caped hero story.

I'm curious to know if any of those who hated the movie read the comics.

Well said.

This movie is not supposed to be like X-Men, Spiderman, TDK, or the other comic-movies. The novel (listed as one of Time's greatest 100 novels written, and possibly the best graphic novel ever) is not typical to those stories. According to reviews from those who know the source material, it is actually reviewed quite well. I am seeing it tomorrow, and I will walk in as unbiased as I can for someone who read the book. I hope that people that did not read the book can walk in and not expect it to be another Iron Man, but I guess the ticket sales and reviews will let us know.

The only positive thing I can say about this boring,disjointed pile of shit is at least I know what Kelly Leak from the Bad News Bears grew up to look like.

You could have watched "Little Children" and saw both, a grown up Kelly Leak, and a great Film. As for "Watcman", I hated "300", so ill probably never see it. If its great movie, well thats my loss.

300 was a great flawless adaptation of Frank Miller's vision i thought......

ya, if you went in with the same expectations as Iron Man, X-Men, Batman, or any of the other generic comic storylines then you were wrong, very wrong to do so! im looking forward to a change of pace in the comic movie genre.

I could be wrong, but everyone underestimates how big this movie just may be.

To be perfectly honest, while i've not seen it yet, I do NOT get the hype. It's yet ANOTHER "Comic Superhero Movie." Wow. That blows my mind. Right.

I know some people were raised on comics and get an orgasm whenever they see 'DC' by a movie, but that really isn't enough for me.

Still, I'll be fair and listen. Any of you who are crazy about this, explain to me how this will be so radically different than the 10,000 other Comic Superhero Movies that have came out over the last several years....

[Solitary Brother]

3 hundred?
Yeah they could have done WAY more with this movie but the visuals were amazing.

[MrsKellyPierce]

I'm going to see it soon
