whats your verdict on the movie wacthmen?

It was ok, the book was much better.

However I don't understand all this complaing about the whole "wang" thing. I never thought it was noticable unless you were trying to stare at it. Just sounds pretty immature to me.

i thought it was awesome but then again i never read the comic

Too long and boring at some parts. The only real highlight was Jackie Earle Haley's performance as Rorshach. Overall, I give the movie a 6.5/10, maybe even 7/10.

I enjoyed the book and the movie very much

A pathetic adaptation of a brilliant novel.sammyjenkis898

Would have been better as a mini series mind.Brutal_Elitegs

I've been saying that ever since they announced it.

Book: 10/10

Movie: 8/10

Blue wang: 11/10

One of my favourite movies of all time, in my top 5 for sure.

liked it well enough but it could have been great if they'd kept the original ending

I hatehateHATED the actor playing Veidt. Completely dehumanized him and made him just unbearably smug... UGHH!PannicAtack

Probably the best adaptation of Watchmen people could get. 8/10 some questionable music choices though.

And for those calling it pathetic adaptation,it couldn't have been worse then this.

he made the black frieghter i beleive it was announced that one day well have a release of Watchmen that has the BF incoporated into itnynthninja

In December to be precise.

[QUOTE="nynthninja"][QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"] Err, it just about copied the graphic novel word for word -- but of course it couldn't have included everything from the book, or else the movie would have been about 4 hours long.MetalGear_Ninty

[QUOTE="MetalGear_Ninty"][QUOTE="nynthninja"] i know what he means the movie tried to be a comic but couldnt be a comic even if it was word for word....Snyder did magic with the 300 it felt like the graphic novel...watchmen felt like he tried to hard....as for a movie itself...banginnynthninja

The point is the average joe who saw the movie thinks that Rorshach is a difinitive hero when we all know hes a addition to the problem hes too black and white...i feel like they wiffed on the depth of the characters nynthninja

Well the only thing that couldhave gave that impression was when Rorshach was ambushed, seeing how there was extra fighting that wasn't in the graphic novel. NB: I think they missed a great opportunity when they did Rorshachs's backstory mind. I don't see why they had Rorshach's hacking at the guy with a knife instead of setting him on fire. This really annoyed me to be honest. A well crafted shot of Rorshach staring indifferently into the flames while the guy was screaming would have been more apt IMO.

I thought it was great. It was as good as a Watchmen movie could have ever been IMO.

saw it opening night in an imax theater. i am never sitting in the front row again.

absolutley loved it, one of my fav comic to film adaptations, i bought the directors cut (though im probably just going to sell it to get the ultimate eddtion)

and to the people complaining about doc manhattens wang....why are you paying so much attention to it? hell they dont even show it that much, like only 4 or 5 scenes.

tho yes i have to say the sex scene with night owl II and silk specter II was just badly done, pretty much my only gripe with the movie

Loved it! They stayed mostly true to the graphic novel which I appreciate. Though it's hard to say whether I appreciated the movie on it's own merits or simply because of the graphic novel at this point.
