Ramen4ever said:Your entitled to your opinion. I still think it was one of the better movies of 2006. And it's only common sense that a comic will not transfer to the screen perfectly. That goes for just about any adaption from one medium to another. Anyone who expects otherwise is deluding themselves.
If you liked 300 the movie so much, why haven't you read the comic? This is the problem. Most people that see these comic-adaptation movies, haven't even read the original comics. It's good in a way because it gives the originals exposure, many people will buy the comic because they saw and liked the film. But it could also turn a lot of people off to reading Watchmen, as had also happened with 300 (most my friends didn't really like the film, so they figured why bother with the comic.) Special effects and slow-motion every five seconds just won't cut it to make people actually read the book. Sad as it is, the movie-going population is much much larger than the comic/book reading population. I guess people figure that they don't mind investing two-three hours for a movie, but they don't want to spend a lot of time on one story. I know people who love the BERSERK anime, but won't bother reading the manga because it's too long.
