I've just been using the poster itself from the Watchmen App.

I cropped that Rorschach wallpaper a little so he would be properly centered on my G1. It looks real nice now.

The Original Script The script that the studio gave Snyder, when he first agreed to do the movie, ended with Nite Owl killing

Spoiler

Ozymandias

by crashing the Owl-ship into him via remote control. Nite Owl even says a cool catch phrase immediately afterwards.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Cohsae]

That would have been an epic cock-up. Although I wonder what the 'cool' catch-phrase was...

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I still don't know why he'd Kill

Spoiler

Ozy

. It's over! You lost! :lol :lol

Oh fuck no, we would boo the shit out of it if it came up with that fucking Fox logo.

"Time's up -- for you" *drops a pocket watch on his corpse*

 

[AlexMogil]

That would have been an epic cock-up. Although I wonder what the 'cool' catch-phrase was...

"Look upon my ship... [CRASH!] and despair."

"Owl be seeing you."

"I cry fowl."

"The bird... [CRASH!] is the word."

 

[VicVip3r]

Just came back from a sneak preview of the movie, the story seems to jump around a lot but the action scenes were really good. Crowd seemed divided in the theater some loved it, some not so much.

"The bird... [CRASH!] is the word."

:lol :lol :lol HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You win the internet sir.

Anyone planning on picking up the Watchmen Motion Comic on Blu Ray day after tomorrow? Any opinions on the motion comic?

 

[beelzebozo]

david edelstein's watchmen review on CBS SUNDAY MORNING today was pretty negative. it was also full of misinformation about the relationship between the comic and the movie. he claimed the movie kept the comic's ending (false, of course) and seemed to have very few real criticisms of anything really wrong with the movie itself.

I've only seen the first chapter. Hearing Laurie being voiced by a guy was...weird.

Yeah, saw that as well. I couldn't tell who was talking a few times either... Still, it looks like it was an excellent transfer of the art... Hmm...

Here is the bluray.com review of the disc for those interested:

I woke up in a haze to the phone ringing late last night. It was my friend, who ended up getting 4 passes for an early screening on Tuesday.

Hyped doesn't quite cover how I'm feeling about now.

Let us know how good it is you lucky bastard.

so far the only top critic reviews on rottentomatoes are all negative, so i am assuming that most of the positive ones are just drooling fanboys...i hope i'm pleasantly surprised, but i'm lowering my expectations now

That's what it looks like. Pending more reviews I doubt I'll see this in theaters.

 

[Vyer]

Pretty cool that Amazon takes an extra 5% off the regular Watchmen trade when you buy it with the Dark Knight Returns trade. Both combined come out to like 20 bucks and some change.

Not any kind of special editions or anything, but still.

I have read Watchmen like three or four times, but it's been a while. And I think one of my 'friends' might have lost the trade I used to have. Oh well, I'll just make sure I hold on to this one.

Umm, what? right now 50% of the top critic reviews are positive, and most of the things the THR review criticizes were already in the book.

um, 2 top critic reviews, thr and variety, both negative

Cool little featurette. Tons of new and extended scenes.

Can't wait to see what Ebert says. Whether he loves it or takes a dump on it, Ill be reading.

 

[polyh3dron]

edit: granted, the thr review is pretty stupid

Exactly, these reviewers probably figure that since it's a comic book superhero movie that they can check their brain at the door and then they're all like "waaaaaa my brainnnn i neeeeed it"

Strange, for me it shows 4 top critic reviews (times(uk), empire, variety, thr), 2 of them positive

 

[Expendable.]

Got my tickets for a press screening tomorrow night! I may do a podcast review for my website with some friends. Would be people be interested in that?

 

[JzeroT1437]

"Warner Bros went into bankruptcy today after the big budget blockbuster Watchmen failed to earn even $500. When several internet comic book nerds were questioned, they all stated in one way or another that the idea of seeing a film that got less than a 62% seemed outrageous, and that only a lifetime n00b would be caught watching the Watchmen. Internet reviews mean everything!

Non-comic book/internet geeks simply stated 'What the hell is Watchmen? That thing with all the slow-motion shots and Smashing Pumpkins music? Nah, I hate the Smashing Pumpkins. I won't be seeing it'."

and one of them gave Gran Torino a rotten review, thus invalidating all of his reviews.

Im booking my tickets this week to see it at the IMAX on release... there is no way im going to miss out on this awesome!!

 

[Costanza]

Found someone to go with me so I just ordered midnight IMAX tickets. CAN'T WAITTTTTTTTTT

 

[JimmyV]

I love reading some of the Rotten Tomatoes reviews. Most of the people are just a bunch of wanna-be's that use big words and complex sentances to try to sound intelligent. And it fails!

 

[MightyHealthy]

Bought 1600MPs, got my free Watchmen tickets today. Can't wait

 

[polyh3dron]

People that are panning this are probably the same people that would have panned Blade Runner back when it came out.

Or the same people who panned Zodiac.
