The Watchmen film is everything I expected - a generic action film catering to the masses, the emphasis on violence instead of character development and plot.
The comic permits you to see things from multiple perspectives, e.g. thought bubbles/monologues. 12 volumes of Watchmen develops characters until you feel what they experience. How can a 2 hour film replicate this?
To add insult to injury they changed the plot, making it nonsensical and omitting meaning and substance.
You gotta give the movie credit though without it would never have known watchmen existed, thanks to the movie im actually seeking out the comics/graphic novels so its not all bad. I cant compare but i really got into the movie, i felt for each character alot, they were all real tragic in different ways, not once was i bored and i never saw the end coming, me presonally, its my favv superhero movie.
JD Huge respect for the comic. i think they did a really fantastic job of the film, Obviously, its not the book, but thats not the point, the film is for the people who have never heard of the book or who simply aren't into comics to get a taste of what watchmen is all about. Character development is brilliant in the film, and although they omit a far few key scenes from the book, it doesn't detract from the overall feel of the characters. The violence is stylised and always used with a purpose
@Rereversed He had no hope against Dr. Manhatten. I am referring to how he handled his non-godlike enimies-you know meat cleaver in the head, aerosol fire to the face, an assist is sawing off Lawrence's hands. Good stuff.
does anyone know if the clip at the end of the breakout scene where Rorschach kills the small guy in the toiletsis on here?, I find Night Owl and the Silk Spectre's reactions funny
I am now a fan of the guy who played Rorschach. He's a straight up crazy. You know he's the guy that's going to be playing Freddy Kreuger in the new movie. I didn't think anyone else could do the movie justice except for the real Freddy, but I was wrong. This guy will make a great Freddy. He also plays Guerro on the series Human Target and I love him in there too. He plays crazy, people are scared of him on Human Target too.
I'm sorry but as a boy-crazy girl I have to say this; @ 0:21, Ooooooooooh my god, for a so called ugly scruffy bum superhero, he sure is fine to look at...
In the comic they were also using a blowtorch instead and rorschach didn't trip the guy, he got up on the bed and broke the toilet with his foot and the criminal got electrocuted.
Tell that to the millions of Watchmen fanboys who were pissed about Jon being framed in the end of the movie instead of having a giant squid cause the nuclear pulse wave.
Oh...it matters! Give Hollywood a lil' leeway and they fuck everything up!
@6678 Personally I think they improved the ending and streamlined the story in a more logical and practical way. I mean he was already framing Jon for giving cancer and playing up that he was losing touch with humanity, why not just skip the whole (although cool) convulated giant psychic space squid angle and just follow the logical course for the framing of Jon
I know that water is a very good conductor of electricity. My comment was a joke on the fact that the prisoner with hair looked like Matt Iseman from Clean House.
in real life I think there was a prison riot liek this somewhere,....um I saw it on that paranormal show ......some kinda riot.....anyways Rorschach is badass, best character in this movie......the movie
in the book: rorscharch is in a solitary cell, the fat guy get his throut slit by a shiv, they use a welder to open the cell, and the big guy get fryed whilst consious
When will you learn that what makes a good book won't necessarily make a good movie? No movie is EVER like the book or comic. The movie was awesome! If it weren't for the movie, I would have never been interested in reading the comic.
His name is "Danny Woodburn" he's also in Seinfeld!
His character's name in Watchmen is Big Figure. Which is why Rorschach says "Small world, big figure" (you know that saying?) and Mr. Figure says "haha I like that" :D
I assume he just meant it was only a matter of time before the riot got shut down by the prison staff or police and he wanted to be able to exact his revenge on Rorschach before that happened.
my favorite part in this whole movie to watch is the street fight, havent found it yet on youtube..maybe i havent looked hard enough, but someone gets their elbow broken apart with a palm strike and a GIRL kicks someones shin/knee in backwards!!!! omg i love that part
50 to 0, you mean. Aint got nothin on rorschach.
