THOUGHTS ON WATCHMEN MOVIE, MOST OF WHICH ARE NOT BY FRED

[Z³]

IMO: NEEDED MORE COCK

So far one of the best comic book adaptations I've ever seen (although I'm excited about the upcoming Cerberus film.) I was impressed even at the amount of dialogue they managed to preserve from the comic, although minor differences will annoy the die-hard neck-beard, it was the least butchered of any adaption of Moores work so far. So much of the plot in the comic is in the background, in the writing, Roy Ellis' book, Rorschachs journal, Rorschachs psych report, even the fucking comic in the comic (which I actually felt was a bit too much, when I read it), that they could never hope to replicate that immersion in the film. The movie was a movie, and it was a good movie, but it needed more cock.

I hated how I had to wait through a third of the film before seeing Dr. Manhattans penis, granted there was plenty of cock by the end, but the first third of the movie teases you with suggestive angles as if they are somehow trying to soften the blow. Needs more cock, period. I didnt feel that the sex was too much, the almost-rape scene was sufficiently brutal, the chevy-chase femaleloveinterest sex scene was a little cheesy with the music (and the symbolic flamethrower=stock footage of rockets going off), and now that its been pointed out to me here the Dr. Manhattan³ was a bit out of context.

I agree with whoever thought the presence of the music was a little overbearing, with the exception of the Dr. Manhattan on Mars sequence, and the opening montage, there were a lot of points where it was overbearing and not even relevent to the setting. What was with the end credits?! Was that the fucking Dropkick Murphys!! WTF! Also, needed more cock.

I liked the acting, I liked pretty much all of the acting, I was expecting absolute shit from the previews and it turned out to not be that bad, so I was pretty happy. Although, in my minds ear, Kovacs had a really nasally voice when he wasnt rorschach... but whatever, I'm sure if they ever portray Deadpool on the big screen, he probably wont be voiced by Gilbert Godfried, and that will be another dream of mine down the toilet. Needed more cock. I was however overjoyed at the choice of Chevy Chase as the Night Owl, very appropriate choice for the setting, but still: needed more cock.

I felt that the ending was way too fucking happy for what happens, and while the device they used wasnt terribly hackneyed, It wasnt the comic... so once again, there will be hordes of enraged neckbeards spewing their bile onto the interwebs in between furious cheetohs fueled masturbation sessions and mountain dew enemas. A warning to mothers, STAY OUT OF THEIR ROOMS.

Still it needed more cock. I cant wait for the DVD release, which should hopefully have at least another 12 minutes of uncircumcised member.

So, I guess overall I would say that this is the best comic-book adaptation since Ingmar Bergmans Persona.

Movie sucked.  I almost want to mail Alan Moore a check for $15 to cover the cost of the IMAX ticket as an apology for having seen it.  My first words upon leaving the theater were "Fuck that shit."

Going to see it tomorrow in the IMAX.

Coincidence?

Ryan Reynolds plays the role for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

RYAN FUCKING REYNOLDS?


Fuck that guy.

Also, I heard what the spoiler is, and I can't help but be disappointed.  Sure, it's a bit unexpected as far as how movies usually end, but unless they totally re-wronte the Ozymandias part, it sounds way too out of character.

(and the symbolic flamethrower=stock footage of rockets going off)

To be fair, that's also in the comic.

the sexuality thing? (having one as opposed to not?)

[LMNO]

No, the bit they replaced the giant squid with...

Actually as a plot device it kinda works, but they focused on it too much and then ignored the scene that resolves everything.
Spoiler:
because they left out johns speech to ozymandias it makes it out that john simply agrees with what has happened, It never shows him in the better light after killing rorcharch. they never undermine ozymandias plan by saying it only saves the world in the short term, thus justifying all the killing.

I JUST SAW IT AND I REALLY LIKED IT.

EVERYONE ELSE CAN FUCK OFF.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

I JUST SAW IT AND I REALLY LIKED IT.

Since Ozymandias still has the power to make it seem as though Doc Manhattan is active, the facade can be carried on indefinitely.

The sex scene had my friends and I rolling in the aisles. I mean the flame thrower. Really...REALLY?!



That was put in there for the corn factor, it HAD to have been.

Actually, I imagine it was put in because that happened in the book.
