I read the book a while back -- loved the shit out of it.

Now I'm just praying that hollywood doesn't fuck it up.
I think it's in pretty good hands though...

**T.C.** · 03-03-2009, 11:23 AM

Been wanting them to produce this for a long time. Ive always been into comic books. I just hope that it turns out ok. The movie does look great though.

**FasTech** · 03-03-2009, 04:14 PM

Are you sure? Which theater were you looking at? I checked for the Regal at the Mall of Georgia and I'm able to purchase.

**Greddypacked** · 03-04-2009, 11:18 AM

Looks awesome. Should be a great one.

**Dirty Octopus™** · 03-04-2009, 12:17 PM

**AYY** · 03-04-2009, 09:51 PM

should be a great movie

**okra1981** · 03-05-2009, 10:59 AM

I'm having a hard time picturing how the movie will transfer well. Maybe I need to finish the book, I'm only halfway through. It just seems like way too much story to fit into ~2 hours, but I say this about everything, still excited though.

**Bigt8aford** · 03-06-2009, 08:30 AM

dun did bought my there tickets and ready to take Betsy to go c it

**Just_CHill** · 03-06-2009, 08:56 PM

So........ the movie wasn't what I expected at all. I'm really disappointed to be honest. But I didn't read the book so maybe I missed something.

**FlipKing** · 03-06-2009, 11:49 PM

I really do not know if I liked it or not. lol Still unsure.

**ironchef** · 03-07-2009, 02:46 AM

I thought it was just ok. The trailers made it seem very action packed. But there was way more dialogue than I expected.

**batlude** · 03-07-2009, 12:21 PM

i gave the movie 4/10 rating

**lawguy85** · 03-07-2009, 02:13 PM

I saw it in IMAX, and it was the shit. Yes, I've read the GN, so all the explanations that were missing (and there are a lot) didn't bother me. I think this film will leave a bad taste in most people's mouths. Those who've read the novel will be upset with how much they've trimmed out, and those who haven't will have no clue as to what is going on. I enjoyed it as a great action movie on par with the (first) Matrix b/c its a lot of action and some philosophy thrown in for good measure. Most of the new ending is much better, but the exposition at the end really rubbed me the wrong way. Whether you love or hate the movie I think most of America will agree that Rorschach was bad ass and wonderfully acted. He and the Comedian alone are worth checking out the movie.

**Bigt8aford** · 03-07-2009, 05:38 PM

didnt read the book, but very highly disliked the movie 4/10 just cause im a nice guy lol

**antiv6** · 03-07-2009, 06:38 PM

Haven't read the novel and preview looked retarded, a bunch of random copies of normal superheros and a giant blue dude that looks like he was made for a low budget film. Probably wont see it.

**tdurr** · 03-07-2009, 06:44 PM

i liked it. didnt read the book but yea... I would give it a 7.5/10. The concept was interesting, and i will see it again to possible try and figure some things out. it was a LONG ass movie tho lol.

btw i think ppl who liked cloverfield would like this movie...

**Gorilla Eg!** · 03-07-2009, 09:19 PM

I might go see this soon... who has seen it? HOW WAS IT?

**antiv6** · 03-07-2009, 10:59 PM

my buddy just got back from seeing it and said it was confusing and didnt have very much action. And he said it had a blue guy walking around naked the entire time. Ill definitely pass on this one lol

LMFAO!!!!!

MUTHA FUKKIN DR. MANHATTAN!!!!! No homo!

**81911SC** · 03-07-2009, 11:05 PM

Yea, the blue guy's dick was all over the place. I really didn't like it that much.
Movie was quite weird.

**lawguy85** · 03-07-2009, 11:49 PM

From reading the comments, if you aren't at least familiar with the Watchmen universe you should pass. The premise isn't how much ass can be kicked on screen at any given time, it's what would happen if superheroes with real human emotions were placed in the 20th century. Simply put, it wouldn't be upstanding characters you associate with comics, it would be more like Vic Mackey in a costume. Don't expect the Spiderman franchise or something similar because you will be HUGELY disappointed. As for Dr Manhattan, if you were a god among mortals would you wear clothes? I too would be swinging freely!

**BIG WORM** · 03-08-2009, 04:12 PM

The movie was terrible, I didn't read the book or comic or whatever, but I didn't read Batman, Superman , Iron Man, or Spiderman either, and those movies were great.

On top of that why couldn't ol' blue dude get some britches or something, he just walked around the whole movie with his pecker flapping in the wind....

Gran Torino>Wrestler>Watchmen

**punkr6** · 03-08-2009, 04:39 PM

Seen it today in IMAX, it was awesome...

**Tuan** · 03-08-2009, 07:37 PM

Do not take a child to go watch this movie!!! My friends made the mistake of taking their daughter and ended up covering her eyes like 3/4 of the movie..haha..the blue dude was raping every girl, but i would have liked him to at least throw on some CK undies or something.

**Turbo Terrance** · 03-08-2009, 07:41 PM

I saw it in IMAX and it was the shit... some parts had a LOT of fukn talking the trailer was more action packed than the movie..... BUT one thing I didnt get was what made them superheros how were they super strong and super fast like that?!?!?!

You're kidding right. The entire point of the story was how superheroes would not be like Batman, Superman, Iron Man, etc. Those are examples of what we would HOPE they would be like, Watchmen is all about what being a superhero would be like in a non-idealized world. It wouldn't be good v. evil, it would be flawed person v. flawed person. Furthermore, you're at least cursorly familiar with the story of those characters you named but the concept of Nixon in a 3rd term probably wasn't.

reps for knowing wuts up.

**LeX** · 03-09-2009, 08:25 AM

I am not familiar with Watchmen but I saw it and I enjoyed it. Yes, it was confusing a lot of the time but I could piece it together no problem and it really was an interesting film

**Master Shake** · 03-09-2009, 12:16 PM

ahh fuck, after seeing what other people thought, i don't know if i want to see it or not. i thought it was gonna be bad-ass.

No, I'm saying they could have done a better job explaining the movie etc...
Not only was I on a date when I went to see the movie, but I paid $24 for that crap...The movie hands down was terrible. I promise all the other comic book movies this year will double the profits of Watchmen...
