I've never even heard of the Watchmen before this movie, and quite frankly, I never want to ever again.

I really really liked the movie. Had the comic forever and was excited about seeing the movie and my hopes werent let down. The only little thing i didnt likewas whomever acted as Nixon, wasnt that good of job. Other than that. Good movie.

--I've read the graphic novel over 20 times...I was extremely satisfied with this film adaptation.
--Having a Watchmen movie that is pretty much faithful to the book > not having a Watchmen movie at all.
--Cant wait for the 3 hour + director's cut...
--BTW, the motion comics are DOPE.

movie was great.
pretty sure not the first time this has been said, but only thing wrong was manhattan's lack of "covering up."

For those who haven't seen it that are on the fence, this isn't your typical action/superhero movie where there's tons of action every 5 minutes,with a bit of plot in-between. This is heavily plot driven because in order to understand the motivation of the characters and the plot itself, it needs to belaid out. Now that's not to say that there isn't good action in it, but don't expect 20 minute fight scenes like Snyder showed he could pull off in300, this isn't that kind of movie. If you don't mind things being laid out, and enjoy an excellent story, with some great acting, backed up by somelackluster characters as well, check it out.
This movie is for movie fanatics/comic nuts, not for your ordinary movie-goers.
Thanks Zack!!

I don't get into these types of movies... Only reason I watched Dark Knight was cause it was made here in Chicago and one day my wife and I were downtownwhile they were filming so it sparked our interests. Iron Man I didn't see until like last month and well you get the picture just not my thing for themost part.
But this movie was very good, I would like to see it again to be honest. Rorschach was awesome... the prison scenes were so good I was like they should havemade a movie just on this dude spending time in the big house! The opening sequence where they went through history and kind of set up the time frame and stuffthat was awesome.
Kind of long but as soon as I found myself saying "dang how long is this flick?" it was ending so wasn't that bad, kept the attention which wasgood.
The blue dude Manhattan could have kept his draws on, didn't have to show us he had blue balls... LMAO!!
Over all I really liked it give it 2 thumbs up.

newspaper man wasn't included enough...the end of the book is centered around his stand...the moral of the book lies in his newstand.
I didn't like the movie.

This part was explained in the book and the movie, when the Comedian shot the woman he impregnated. He said that Manhattan could have stopped it but hedidn't and that Manhattan doesn't really give a damn about the people of the world. He was just a symbol of power by the U.S. signified by the words,"Superman exists and he is American."

And that's another thing people are either overlooking or simply misunderstanding altogether: The significance of Dr. Manhattan existence. He's been the subject of many critics' ire, who have used derogatory terms like "psycho-babble" to describe Manhattan's rhetoric. Whilesome of it may have sounded rather quasi-intellectual, much of it was food for thought.

^^^ You must admit though, Manhattan's monologue on Mars (in the book) would give you a headache in the big screen.

I liked the movie, made you think about a lot of things. Like when the Comedian said that America would have gone crazy if we lost Vietnam.
Wasn't enough action though....

Did anyone else think Rorschach sounds like Christian Bale in TDK? !##@ was really annoying.

Im relieved....I liked the movie alot more than the book. All that jumping around was excessive in the book, but it all worked well in the movie. The movie hada much better pace for my liking as well...the book seemed to drag. I actually liked the ending of the movie alot more too. It seemed more"realistic" if you can say that about htis movie lol. And I was glad they left out the pirate comic. I swear I skipped half of that when reading thebook cause it felt so random, and forced...like they just added it in there just to add it. I personally didnt see its relevance to the movie onthewhole...maybe Im slow.
my only real gripe was that I saw it on IMAX. I dont know what I was expecting, but as far as I can tell, IMAX is just a bigger screen....to think I paid $3extra for that?.....psshhh

LOL, I can't even front. There were a couple of moments that reminded me of the Architect's harangue in Matrix Reloaded.Originally Posted by RFX45
