Vesper Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I had to go see the Watchmen last night (I knew my customers at the comic shop would want to talk about it all weekend). The movie follows the comic closely. This movie really is rated "R"! Don't take the kids! Nudity, Sex and Graphic Violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurider05 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Very good and deep movie. I hope that people don't think that it is a family/children's movie. It is ultra violent and ultra bad. I really liked the plot/storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsuteke Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I question parents who take their small children to a PG movie sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member AtLaS Posted March 9, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I was extremely let down by this movie, was expecting it to be much better. The movie was extremely slow and it took way too long for things to happen. Way too much unnecessary jibberish. The effects and action scenes were done great but the movie was very slow overall. Plus it was a 3 hour long movie, and those are tough to sit through unless it's an awesome movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkItus Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Real good movie. Had a lot of thought involved. Only real problem was the butt naked blue guy. One seen I can understand, but the whole movie? Come on man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin chillzatl Posted March 10, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I thought it was great. Almost exactly what I was looking for and expecting. Would have prefered the original ending or something similar, but it's a minor complaint. I await the directors cut that should be about 30 mins longer and add in some good scenes.

I read the the director's cut will be maybe an hour or so longer!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member AtLaS Posted March 12, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Did you read the book? No, but I heard so many great things about it and the previews looked awesome and it just wasn't what I expected. Don't get me wrong, the fighting scenes and graphics were awesomely done, but the movie was just too slow and too long for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried warning customers that didn't read the book not to expect a tights and flights movie. That's not what Alan Moore is about. This is the third movie they have done from his works. The Watchmen is the closes yet to the source material. League and V were horrible Hollywood trash. Alan Moore doesn't even want his name mentioned with any of the movies.

Admin chillzatl Posted March 15, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Dude - where you been? Sup, i've been around, busy with work and all that. Just had a baby so that takes up some time and work has been pretty busy of late. Odd since this economy is supposedly so horrible. I guess it depends on what you read or watch. Hopefully you'll see more of me in the near future though, thanks for asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
