The movie sucks period. I hate to be the one to bust your bubble, but the movie fucking suck. The only part that I enjoy was when dude was in prison.They should not have killed the comedian so fast. Also why the hell did most aged and some stay young. Last thing I would like to know is, Why the hell do I have to be a comic head to enjoy a good movie.
Dumbass, the Comedian's murder is what got the whole ball rolling in terms of Rorschach investigating who was killing the "masks". And the comic itself starts with him being dead. and all of the heroes aged, except for Dr. Manhattan. The Comedian was 67 when he was killed, the original Silk Spectre was in her 60's, the original Night Owl was in his 60's. Ozymandias, and the 2nd Night Owl are about the same age, but (not shown in detail) because of his lifelong training regimen and diet, Ozymandias looks younger than he really is. Also, with the exception of Dr. Manhattan, NONE of the characters has ANY super powers.
Excellent review my dude, you covered it to the T...I was suppose to see Madea with my girl, but this movie fit into the timeframe so we saw this instead....Im not a comic book head, so I really got lost, my girl flat out feel asleep snore and all....I kept saying to myself, where the hell is all the action at, then I started noticing people with watchmen shirts, hats; thats when I realized this had to be a novel or comic book...The concept was crazy which kept my interest, but I did find myself bored most of the time, probably because I went in thinking it was going to be batman or something similiar.
And this right here is way most of the hater dislike the movie. You go in expecting "Spiderman", "The X-Men" or "The Fantastic Four", and a got a multi-layered plot without all of the constant action.
It was a Good movie. I watched it about 2 yesterday. As usual Lee Lee Thompkins would not shut da fuck up. I thought I was smart hitting my local theater early. The bad ass kids are still in school at 2 not Lee Lee's loud ass.
Is there a backstory to the Watchmen? I have never read the comic books. At times I was confused through the movie. It was clear at the end.
I liked the bloody scenes with the matrix like effect. Are there any movies like this bloody with the matrix like effect? The only one I know of is Kill Bill.
In the comic, as far as I remember, they were neve refered to as "The Watchmen". The first crime fighting group was called The Minutemen, and the name for the 2nd, failed group (the one where the Comedian burned the map) was called the Crimebusters. As far as a backstory, all of the "heroes" come from various backgrounds and individually decide to do something about crime. All of the scenes shown during the opening credits gave a little of it.

Huh??? WHAAAAT?????
This Movie Was Garbage!!
if you like looking at a naked Blue Man's penis all through the movie (cause they showed his dick a lot)...then this flick's for you.
had to turn my head away everytime that blue motherfucker was on the screen.
So out of a 3 hour movie, all you remember is the man's dick? FTP alert!!!!!!
I appreciated the visuals and dialogue of the movie but I walked out of that movie before it finished. I went with my 10 year old daughter expecting it to be a blockbuster XMEN type flick - based on the commercials.
It's definitely a movie you have to watch more than 1 time to understand. Also, Watchmen is not for kids way too graphic.
I agree with this. It was marketed like the typical comicbook movie instead of what it really is, a story about people, some of whom wore masks and fought crime.
I saw it Friday night. I never heard of the watchmen before this movie and still enjoyed it immensely. The plot was great and the twist in the end caught me off guard. I honestly wish they could have made it a little longer and explained more. I cant figure out if the watchmen or super strong or if average humans are just stronger in their universe. Do any of them have powers besides Manhattan? The dude that had the pig ears had me like?
By the way everyone who has attended middle school should know what the cold war was. Aside from Nixon getting extra terms everyone should be able to understand the situation our world was in.
Me and a few other comic geeks went together and discussed the movie afterwards, and all said the same thing about the heroes. When they fight non-heroes, bones are broken, bodies are thrown around like rag dolls and necks are snapped and shit, but when they fight each, they do little damage to each other, so it looks like they are super strong & fast. In the comic it is made clear that they have no powers and sustain damage just like everyone else. The 2 exceptions to this are Ozymandias (who thru his genius level intellect and training his body to be one with his mind, has slightly faster reflexes than the others) and Dr. Manhattan.
... like dude said, i hope this succeeds so it would make hollywood put more heart & thought into the superhero genre....
