[QUOTE="dijji497"]apart from some very well chosen music. Brutal_Elitegs
lolwut? :P Everyone here is going to recommend the graphic novel, as do I. It will fill in the gaps so to speak. Watchmen's visual design was one of its strongest points I thought, but to each his own. Music, These Times They Are A Changing at the beginning of the film, Hallelujah later on. The music, dude.
Borderlands, Batman Arkhum Asylum, Brutal Legend, WET, Assassins Creed 2, Splinter Cell Coviction, L4D2, wolfenstein, NFS Shift, and a few more . . . (The Sabetour).
I just watched Watchmen last night, and I wasnt to keen on it. It was so long 2hours35minutes! I loved the first half an hour, and the last 40minutes were great, but the other 85 minutes were quite frankly boring, apart from some very well chosen music. The plot was confusing at times with the constant flashbacks, and it took me a bit of thought to figure it out. And what also annoyed me was the fact that 300's visual design was brilliant (despite a bit of boardom throughout), and Watchmens visual design was much more bland in my opinion. I would probably give it a 6/10, because I think Snyder can only hold half of an audiences attention (considering half of critics say Yay! and half the critics say Nay!. I really really tried to like this movie, but I was so bored throughout most of it. There are positives - The music, acting and plot are all solid, but this does not need to be that long. Its like Snyder wrote a 700 paged book out of the Graphic Novel, then copied it into the script of Watchmen word for word. I know I am probabaly going to get death threats and stuff, but I hope im not alone. Again, I really tried to like this movie. But its flaws just hold it back for me. I just want to know what the general audiences opinion of it is.
[QUOTE="dijji497"]But teddyrob, who are you to draw the line at what voids the norm? Goth's can be specified as "deviating from the norm", (which some consider odd) but does that make them unnatural? Are scientologists unnatural? Your reference is bogus, because some things that deviate from the norm arent actually unnatural. Its mainly a matter of opinion (of what is deviating from the norm like I stated with Goths, there not unnatural even if they deviate from the norm). Oh and I definately agree with MuddVader.teddyrob
The majority determines the norm not me. Maybe do a thread on Goths if you want to talk about them otherwise you are going offtopic and that derails the true agrument and discussion that is going on here and turns it into a Goth thread. It seems the way to try to beat an argument down is talk about other off topic subjects. Let's get back to the subject matter.
Actually, I used an example, which is actually quite common, and not really off-topic.

I don't think being sexually repressed makes you a good person. Yeah, I agree, It does depend on a persons religion as to whether it makes them a better person being sexually repressed (in their own views), but I agree I dont think it makes you any better of a person.
