This is my first post ever (after reading GAF for two years) and I have to say.... at least Zach and co look to be about 90% on target with this adaptation. Most book movies don't get near the 50% range.

I love the graphic novel and nothing, nothing, can ruin how perfect it is to me. That said, I am stoked to see a movie version that is as close as this one seems to be.

The original ending will never change in the novel. Isn't that good enough for you crazy people?

Crazy? What the fuck, man. I love that when I talk smack about the movie I get like a million replies and when I make a cogent and in depth post about what really mattered about the ending to me and how Snyder could easily replicate it even if he changes the circumstance of the ending, no one reads it or acknowledges it when they dole out accusations of insanity.

Jee. Pers.
 
I think most people should go in expecting something of the quality of X2 or spiderman 2. Don't expect a TDK, or else you will be dissapointed.

Stop this.

They are way different films. One is a super serious superhero thriller, while the other is a campy, satirical commentary on superheros and pop culture.
 
I have a feeling in 20 years that there is going to be a HBO remake series that is going to get it more right than this version. The feeling is in my gut and my gut is on fire with lust for women.
 
I just finished reading The Watchmen. Talk about overrated.

The only remotely interesting pages are the ones where the blue guy talks about determinism, but he never goes in this very far.
 
The worst part about this movie coming out soon is the inevitable increase in people talking about the movie + my irrational hatred for all the people that call it THE Watchmen when there isn't actually a "The" in the title. Aside from it just technically being wrong, I feel like it changes the meaning of the title; "The Watchmen" implies a specific group, while "Watchmen" is a more general, broad reaching term.
 
i really like superheroes kicking ass, so i'm all over this movie about the watchmen. one question though, whose the bad guy, does he have gases like joker

I can't wait to see The Watchmen. I hear it's based on a comic with the exact same name right?
My favorite Watchman is the guy with the blobface. I heard he's got RAGE powers.

Batman II is my favorite character! He is so cool! I'm pissed that he doesn't have the batman logo and changed his costume to brown. I guess he wanted to be different.

Why did he ditch the batmobile for that piece of shit eggplane?

Psst... It's sarcasm. I'm sure he is making fun of Agent Ghost just like everyone else is...

Also Monroeski, but hey.

I also just said "My favorite The Watchman is Blue Guy." :lol

I can't be less subtle. I don't know how.
 
The best part was when that jet came out the water, and it was all like "KERSPLASHHHH SHHHHHHSSSSSS" and then they saw this building on fire and the flames were like "CRRRAWWW CRRRAWWW FZZZZHHH!" and then they had to go to this other place and the siren came on which was super loud and it was like "WAAAAAHHH WAHHHHHH" and all the people on the ground were like "lame" and they covered their ears and went home.

I'd give it 3 stars, some of the comic made no sense as the blue man was like totally turning pink during this one part and asteroids were falling into the future but then it was the past. my head hurted.

I heard that there's a cameo from Johnny Depp as the Riddler after the credits. I wonder if Blue Man will be in Batman3 starring Batman II and The Riddler.

Hey, that's Doctor Blue Guy.

They should rename him Doctor Blue Sky and it would be a great time to use ELO's Mr. Blue Sky because more movies should use that song and they should use it when he destroys New York
City

Just released: Tales of the Black Freighter teaser! The animation looks... well, damn good, but judge for yourself.

MTV has it here.
Reminds me of Aeon Flux.

Erm...

What's the point of spoilering just the last part of that?
 
Dude, the marketing for this movie is out of control.
You can't watch TV past 5pm and not see a trailer for it.

Looks cheap.

Reminds me of the animation in those religious cartoons.

Maybe it was Professor The Blue Guy.
Wrong! I know from a friend of a friend that the dude walks showing his wang and is called Doctor (that part is right) Blue Ehxibicionist or Doc Blue Balls. And there´s also a girl who has ghost powers.
 
Ok. The Motion Comic is AMAZING.
I liked the book enough, but it was kinda hard for me to really understand since I've never read comics. But damn, This is so fucking awesome. The animation is incredible too! I never even knew they could do something like this with the comics.
 
My favorite The Watchman is Leather Daddy. When he's shooting that flamethrower and smoking a cigar he looks SOOOO badass.

I also like that guy with the ink face... The Blot, I think his name is.

I'm going to assume you're from another country where those are the names for The Comedian and Roscharch [sp]

Spend some time on page 52 and you will understand. Also Rorschach for future reference.
