Putting aside what Walter has already stated, I meant that it was badly written.

Proj2501 said:Now I haven't paid all that much attention the fanatic details of Synder's version of Watchmen. What I have heard isn't too good. I know the squid has been removed, etc. My question is, now put the Synder-voodoo dolls down for a minute, but are all the changes made to Watchmen 100% Synder's decision? Could it be possible, some slick haired sleez ball studio producer is too afraid of losing some bucks here and there and forcing some changes to be made? Shed some light on this for me guys.
Also, Robocop? The only reason I recall some bits of Robocop is because how gratuitous the violence was in that movie. Clearly you don't think Robocop and think, "Ah...such well rounded characters in such a wonderfully creative story." The violence was over the top and that's why every once in a great while when it's on I'll watch 3 minutes of it. You know a Robo-remake wouldn't nearly be half as gory. Fuck remakes...up their asses.

Oburi said:I actually stopped reading the graphic novel about three chapters in because I didn't want to ruin the movie for myself.
Oburi said:I heard he's doing a movie version of the Heavy Metal cartoon from the 80's, which I been excited about since day one when I heard they were doing a movie.
Honestly that's not a very good decision.
Johnstantine said:I know that the Squid will be in the movie, but not as we see it in the comic. It's the S.QU.I.D.(Sub Quantum Intristic Device).
Ramen4ever said:Just saw Watchmen. It was decent as a movie by itself. If you don't consider the GN. If you do, well the visuals are pretty nice. A lot of things were cut that weren't necessary to the main plot line or the main characters. And somethings were added (You all know all this). The music was terrible imo, there were songs in there that just didn't fit. There were also a few good songs. Up until the end, Rorschach was the coolest character. And I don't think that's a good thing. He was portrayed as more of a badass than as a troubled person like in the comics. Dr.Manhattan's voice sounded strange. Like someone who's very emotional or just permanently depressed. Ozymandias's character was really different from the graphic novels. The ending was fucked. Completely fucked.
3/5 stars. It'll keep you entertained for a while. But it's nothing special.

Deci said:You sound like the guy you hear when you're leaving the theatre that's bitching about everything even though it was a good movie. I take your review as meaning it's a good movie, I'll see it sometime this week.
Oburi said:I only read about 1/3 of the graphic novel but from what I remember it was pretty close. It seemed to me that they stayed very faithfull to comic
Oburi said:Bale wishes his batvoice could have sounded half as cool as Rorschach.
Aazealh said:Is Rorschach supposed to have a "batvoice" though? That's the problem. I've heard mixed things about it. I didn't like what I heard in the teasers, but I'd probably need to see more footage to be sure.
Ramen4ever said:His voice wasn't always like a growl but it was usually raspy. When I watched the movie it didn't bother me as much as some other things. If anyone is worried well all I can say about it is that it didn't stand out to me. It wasn't terrible, it just registered to me as "well okay, close enough" It wasn't like batman's voice. I didn't have problems trying to understand what he was saying.
Ramen4ever said:My biggest problem(s) wasOzymandias using Dr.Manhattan to avert the nuclear war. By making massive explosions that had Dr.Manhattan's "signature" in a lot of the world's major cities. Instead of an extraterrestrial threat, it's Dr.Manhattan. He leaves of course but using him as a scapegoat, completely changes the end taste of the film.
Ramen4ever said:I somehow liked Rorschach's face. He looked cool. Unfortunately I also remember that in the graphic novel, people said he was one ugly mofo?
Aazealh said:Ok, thanks. I guess his voice being raspy isn't a problem as long as it doesn't sound like he's straining it to sound intimidating. The main characteristic of his speech is that it's supposed to always be monotonic.
His smell is commented on by the cops. His mask was almost constantly shifting shapes. That was one of the cooler effects in the movie.Aazealh said:Yeah he's supposed to be ugly and to stink. I've also heard that they didn't make his mask shift shapes constantly?

Ramen4ever said:In that case, I'm not sure. I don't think it was monotonic. Sometimes he was quieter, had outbursts, was frantic (second time he visits Moloch), sometimes he did growl batman style and at the end of the film he was pretty emotional. The only time I can think of that he was really monotonic was in.prison.
Ramen4ever said:at the end of the film when he was telling Dr.Manhattan to kill him.

You've made the correct choice.Okin said:I think I'll just take my time and read the graphic novel first.
Okin said:I had to go to a funeral, so I ended up not seeing the movie. I think I'll just take my time and read the graphic novel first.
