  • Is it just me, or does Jeffery Dean Morgan remind you of Javier Bardem?

  • It was quite a good movie.

  • jeff looks like robert downey junior....must be a long lost brother!!!

  • @ILLRICARDO My family always confuses those two

  • If Rorschach revealed the truth it actually wouldn't have changed the new world peace. Instead of being united against fake aliens, the world would be united against the monolithic Veidt. That would be a good ending.

  • Umm is it a shame that I'm hot for the Comedian?! I mean he might kill me if he got me pregnant.

  • I MET Matthew Goode the other day! He was just walking around in Hampstead Heath in London (Where I walk my dogs). He says he goes there a lot. I'm gonna try to make friends with him >:)

  • I LOVE Matthew Goode's accent in his voice. i find Sexy

  • you get the impression that Matt really liked this character. I started to watch the film but could not get past the part with Billy Crudup.

  • you get the impression that Matt really liked this character.

  • when i went and looked at the general public's overall reception of the film, i was dismayed. this was one of the best, if not THE best, superhero films i've ever seen. i mean i like the new batman series, iron-man, and spider-man films, but this one added an unprecedented depth and realism to the characters that i found truly amazing

  • @ricarto2k2 Yes, completely! I felt like this was the first superhero film for grown adults who understand the constant grey area of life. Very satisfying that the characters were unresolved. Life is never fully resolved.

  • I no longer have to hide my intelligence, I was made to in middle school and high school by my family so that I did not hurt my siblings feelings. I have an IQ over 160 and I do not feel cocky or happy about this, it causes problems.

  • @AmanitaPersicina then why would you even mention it on youtube? did you want someone to console you because you think you're a genius?... if you do have an IQ over 160 (which I highly doubt) then it still wouldn't matter... being academically smart and having very keen intelligence are two totally different things.

  • i think the movie was only watchable thanks to the intro the comedian and rorshach

  • OMG.. Captain America and The Comedian are NOTHING alike!!!

  • @lovecraft4780 wrong, they have the same idea, captain america is this yes man for the government, but in his universe the government is good. comedian is similar because of his "fight for america" style, but the government he works for is evil or at least very corrupt.

  • @Nelsonhojax15 : lol Have you ever read Captain America comics beside the bullshit Ultimates? REAL ACTUAL MARVEL U Captain America has gone against the government six or seven times, and against S.H.E.I.L.D. a lot more than that. Captain America is a patriot. Not a fucking yes man.

  • @lovecraft4780 Jesus, settle down man, I wasn't saying that they are exactly the same, I was just pointing out that the watchmen universe tries to take traditional comic book heroes and warp them into a much darker and grittier version. captain america and the comedian are not the same, they just have similarities. don't have a heart attack, alright?

  • @Nelsonhojax15 : Ok ok. That i agree with. But the reason why I am sore about it is because because "a government yes man" is exactly how Moore and much of the world sees Cap. And nothing could be further from the truth. And the popularity of the Ultimates just made that worse.

  • @lovecraft4780 no, i understand your distaste with the ultimate portrayal of captain america, he's personally one of my favorite heroes and they screwed him up big time. yes man was a poor choice of word, more like "special government operative" except in watchmen, being a government operative means you kill Kennedy and stuff.

  • all three characters ozymanidas, comedian and rorchach are the best characters!

  • I think saying; "I think it's always said to be an unfilmable piece of work, but I think Zack's pulled it off." is a bit bold.

  • These two are the fucking sex.

    Favorite characterssssss, mannnnn.

  • nite owl for the win.

  • Who watches the Watchmen?

    We do. On high definition screens ;)

  • he's a character that has a lot of jewality to him or so I heard him say

  • the comedian is built like a tank. Ozymandias is built like a god!

  • wow, after the people above you kill you for a while, it really is a flat organization.

  • Actually for the Comedian, at all points of his life he blames other people who've witnessed his deeds and crimes after being questioned on them. Such as the first comic where he shoots the pregnant lady, gets off scott free from blame aslong as morals don't interfere using Dr. Manhattan's Determinism as posted by patataton. All are the same, it would've been better if dry wall questioned Eddie on his actions. As for Nihilism, its a complete joke in itself to not do anything without morals.

  • In an immaginary world, Veidt is such a charming character, the oneI prefer between all the Watchmen.

  • Ozymandias character is so inspiring ah... being an Alexander fan myself the use of lateral thinking is a lesson to learn for this twisted humankind stupid enough to justify its mistakes as "logical" linear thinking solutions and thousands of gordian knots asfixing us making a happy face.

  • comedian is a total bamf .

  • When they offered him the part of The Comedian they told him to read the graphic novel and see what he thought. He called back and said no because he got killed off three pages into the book.

    The told him to keep reading.

  • Ozymandias is a gorgeous...gorgeous man!...5 stars!!

  • Also gay. :)

  • If you look in the comic Ozzy is lonely and ambiguous I think because he is too perfect to fall in love with lower minded people -whatever preference if you want straight or gay-. In the movie they fucked it all with that mac screen bussines making him a gay character. My theory is he killed his parents and really hated his mother as a overprotective figure and every woman seems like her to him.

  • Where would you get that sort of idea about Veidt?

  • There is two flashback scenes in the comic book when Ozzy's mother is speaking with a teacher -overprotective mom- and another shows Ozzy sitting over his parents grave in a sort of triumphant pose -maybe he killed them-, reading Freud works and avoiding japanese anime of course...

  • Hmm, I can't really see Veidt as an evil person. Sure, he killed many people with that giant phychic-brain monster, but it was for a necessary reason. He admitted it to be a horrible crime, and that someone had to bare the weight of the death of so much innocents in order to resolve the world's problems.

  • That is the utilitarian principle: the greatest good for the great est number of people, and is far away from manichaeists -evil or good- judgements.

  • @bassuan that's a good point, watchmen is all about the moral fight of the four main characters, being

    Ozzymandias: utilitarism (doing bad things for a greater good)

    Dr Manhattan: Determinism (for him, past present and future are the same, so nothing can be done)

    Comedian: Nihilism (life has no meaning, it's a joke)

    Rorschach: Moral absolutism (he always does what he believes is correct, even if the consequences are worst)

  • Not being gay, but Matthew Goode looks better as a blonde. Black just doesn't suit him.

  • Jeffrey  Aye Papi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The first few scenes I saw Adrian Veidt I never thought he would be that strong... And cool.

  • bat niples! AHHHHH

  • After watching this, I'm guessing most people who read the novel probably agreed with Goode that this story was impossible to film correctly.

  • Matthew Goode is born to play Adrian Veidt!

  • When I first watched the movie I thought the Comedian was Robert Downey Jr....lol

  • Haha When I saw the trailer first I thought that too!

  • lol i know

  • me too dont they fit

  • wow...

  • IT SHOULD KNOCK PEOPLES SOCKS OFF

  • I Love the Comedian and Rorschach though ozy is pretty cool too^_^

  • Droool...JDM!

  • Ozymandias is the best, though Rorshach is a close second.

  • I agree

  • Jeffrey Dean Morgan is hot! And that voice...

  • GUH I just jizzed mah pants. Thanks JDM.

  • ozy is german american not british

  • LOL, that was funny...the Comedian and Ozy...both of them in the same little vid...lol only how many other people though that was a bit funny putting these 2 characters in the same vid?

  • i like rorshach

  • i agree

  • An Englishman using Egyptian Culture... ruling the world through treachery.

    Wow, is it just me or is this a lot like real life?

  • he didn't really "rule" so much as "save".

  • ozymandias rules

  • I agree, in a way, he might be the greatest Hero in the book/film

  • Meh ive always wondered why there is such an accent prejudice in the british acting system.....

  • pretty much because the British were the original enemies of America. Also most hollywood movies have some bleach blonde duke nukem bravado bullshit that always comes out on top cause the military are all so tearlily patriotic, the easy counter to this is the "intelligent" well spoken englishman...

  • Huh? No im talking about how the majority of the actors from England are taught, read forced, to speak Recieved Pronounciation or affected english, not just for the stage and for movies, where it is understandable, but also for use in real life which is not so understandable, why should they be forced to change what is essentially a part of themselves?

    I dont know if it is the same for the other countries that make up Britain ie: Wales and Scotland, i suspect is probably is.

  • ahh sorry i was a bit tired and mis-read your comment. really the stage schools here are prejudice about who the let in, so most of the people who go there already have the "posh" accent...they're just told to speak very clearly so the accent comes out stronger.

  • whatever. Comedian talks for like a 50seconds than he talks for two minutes!

  • Billy Crudup is Doctor Manhattan,

  • smartest man in the world. why should he shut up.

  • He's the darkest side of Capt. America

  • I liked the comedian for what little was seen in the comic, He was almost a parody of all that was wrong in the world, and he just didnt care(Like Dr. Manhattan said) he knows the worlds gone to shit and hes rolling with it

  • Ozymandias is hot.

  • never heard of that stopping anyone from being hot! And the actor Matthew Goode--  what's not to like? He already has a British accent, He's 6'2" not one of these short actors and he also does a killer German inspired accent. Top that all off with the fact that he was born in the Chinese Zodiac year of the Horse, A sign complimentary to my tiger and well, how could I not like Matthew Goode?

  • heard a joke once, man goes to doctor, says he's depressed, says life seems harsh and cruel, he says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain, doctor says 'treatment is simple. great clown pagliacci in town tonight. go and see him. that should pick you up.' man bursts into tears. says 'but doctor, i am pagliacci!" rorscchach creates a perfect analogy to represnt the comedians emotional vulnerability....love it!

  • @sunnysideoflove Actually that´s an extremely common joke with moral, a Colombian comedian told it at least one year before Watchmen was released, he died of cancer.

  • Ozy is 40 in the comic. Remember when he was on TV doing the ah... Olympic Feat? sorry forget what its called. But it clearly states in the comic that he is 40.

  • can any1 explain 2 me why ozymandias was so like fast n strong n stuff? havent read the comics or anything, just seen the movie and didnt really understand why he was so poweful when none of them (except Manhatten) have super powers :S

  • He's just strong lol

  • Ozy belives that no man is extra-ordinary, and then anyone can be as fast or strong or smart as he is. But they must choose to be so.

    He chose at an early age to be smart. And trained himself to become so. He's stong because he practices gymnastics everyday. He's fast because he anticipates the actions of his opponents.

    His hand didn't move faster then the bullet.  His hand was there to stop the shot before she fired, because he knew where she would shot him, and when.

  • ohh right, thanx explains alot, understand it all better now

  • it's true though, motivation and dedication are so much more important than so-called natural talent

  • @Jessymandias Very good.

    thank you for writing this. I am sick of explaining it.

  • well, my socks were off...

  • If I could be a super-hero, I'd be the Comedian with Dr. Manhattans powers. The whole world could **** their pants.

  • In that case, no-one else would see you as much of a hero. Even the actor who plays the Comedian in the movie describes him as a "down-and-dirty Captain America", and we all can see Doc Manhattans aloofness from humanity in the movie.........."I prefer my red planet to your blue one". The world would '**** its pants' whilst trying to find a way to get rid of you.

  • Thats exactly the point Agent969.

  • zac knows handsom men! wow, both comedian and ozzy are so sexy,

    the film was fucking awaesome, so beautiful to look at, a visual feast, would be good to watch it with sound off and lisen to Dark Side of the Moon, i loved it!

  • Ozymandias was the most awesome charcater! Villain? The Comedian and Dr, Manhattan had done bad things too.

    The best part of the film, I was at the edge of my seat was the third part when Ozy was kicking everyone's arse!

  • best character in the film shame there were not more flashbacks of him

  • the best characters for me: 1-The Comedian 2-Rorschach 3-Ozymandias

  • My favorite characters are The Comedian and Ozymandias, nice.

    On a side note, Matthew Goode is a total fox.

  • rorschach and comedian!

  • Comedian

    Comedian

    Comedian

    I looove villains

  • Hes an anti-hero! Ozy is a villian

  • There really aren't any heroes or villains in Watchmen. Or any of Moore's works really.

    It leaves those persceptions up to you.

    Just like in reality, you can't be told how to think about a person.

  • WARNING !!

    POTENTIAL SPOILER !!

    Ozy is an anti-villian, at least in the comic book.

  • My top 3 characters:

    Rorschach

    Nite Owl II

    the Comedian

    No real order, I can never make up my mind with characters easily.

  • me too! i like rorschach best

  • What i don't get here is that if Dr Manhattan is the only character with superpowers in Watchmen, then how does Ozymandias have superhuman strength+speed?

  • they arent superhuman theyre just really powerful (for a human)

  • due to intelligence, dedication and possibly genetic modification

  • Same way Usain Bolt can run faster then anyone else. He was very talented to start with, and then he trained himself to the very peak of human perfection.

    Every Watchman (Dr. Manhattan apart) had obviously trained to hell in gymnastic and martial arts. Ozymandias did it probably twice more then any other character, and he intensely trained his mind, too.

    He has no superhuman strength nor speed. He has just the maximum possible strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, technique for a human being.

  • He's similar to batman, I say.

  • Better than Batman! Ozzy is not a revenge slave and he started from zero his financial empire. Batman is just a white collar criminal, Ozzy is a machiavellian savior of humanity.

  • Until the next time nuclear holocaust looms. :)

  • I can't say that because Ozzy is the the most powerful man in the world after the end of the graphic novel, and like in our reality the Bildelberg group I believe he can remove chairmen and goverments as he wish. Watchmen predicted the unipolar world of today.

  • Comedian killed JFK?

  • Yep.

  • RIP Comedian he caught a serious beating lol

  • the movie was made so that we would like rorschach. we're meant to like rorschach.

  • We're meant to like all the characters despite that fact that each one of them is flawed in one way or another. They each say something different about the human condition.

    Comedian

    Jon

  • I LOVE JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN.

  • watchmen fan fight!

  • HELL YEAH!

    i'll get the popcorn.

  • this actor looks so much like Robert Downey Jr !!

  • yeah i know lol

  • there are 3 kinds of ppl who watches this movie: watchmen fans, ppl who has no clue what watchmen is, and ppl who thinks watchmen is your ordinary superhero flick..

  • the comedian is the coolest one of all of the watchmen he should have lived and like night owl should have died because the comedian would have kicked that lanky gay guys ass

  • the problem is the whole movie was based on the comics so they couldnt do anything about that

  • The Comedian is hot!

  • Ozy kicks ass! In the movie (and in the comic) he easily killed the Comedian, and when Nite Owl and Rorchach fought him in his arctic retreat he was beating the crap out of both of them when they were fighting (but then stopped after a while). How the hell does he do that?

  • Well, it's pretty simple. He's intelligent. For the years he had grouped with the watchmen, he already knows their fighting style and stuff so it's easy for him to beat the crap out of him.

  • The Comedian is such a badass.

  • 1)Rorschach

    2)Ozymandias

    3)Comedian

    4)Night Owl II

    5)Silk Spectre II

    6)Dr.Manhattan

    *SPOILER*

    dr manhattan is selfish and boring. and his description of the "miracle of human copulation" is just hilarious. he's a disposable character. the only really interesting ones are rorschach and ozymandias.

  • Not a spoiler, it's a shallow opinion.

  • your face is shallow

  • Hey! does your mum come in men's?

  • good one, retard

  • Well it was the same level as yours but mine was much funnier. So you think Manhattan is a disposable; explain Watchmen without him.

  • yes, it was hilarious *rolleyes*

    *SPOILER*

    watchmen without manhattan: ozymandias fakes an alien attack to prevent nuclear war. then he kills rorschach so he doesn't tell the world about ozzy's plan. so uh... it's pretty much the same, except manhattan doesn't leave earth and ozymandias kills rorschach.

  • Hyporcrite.

    That's the ending but the story only works if the political climate is that of one where Manhattan exists. Plus without him the sideplot of Silk Spectre and Nite Owl wouldn't have existed.

  • you don't need dr manhattan to have that political climate, things are bad enough between america and russia without him. the only difference would be america wouldn't feel safe while manhattan was around.

    why am I a hypocrite and why couldn't silk spectre and nite owl have an affair without manhattan around

  • The hypocrite refered to you using a shitty joke then looking down on me for doing the same.

    Also you can't have an affair if you're not involved with someone. Plus the political climate was never so bad that Russia felt the need to stockpile so many weapons; as they did in Watchmen due to the presence of Manhattan. Anyway obviously we're not going to agree so meh.

  • funny thing is you think that was a joke. how about this one: you're a fucking dipshit

  • Ok, my face is shallow; lets get to the root of why you're such a fucking kike. That makes no sense, you're a twat who thinks his opinions matter and most importantly and already mentioned a fucking kike.

  • 1)Rorschach

    2)Ozymandias

    3)Dr.Manhattan

    4)Night Owl II

    5)Silk Spectre II

    6)Comedian

  • I must say that the Comedian was played exactly like I felt he should have been.

    Ozymandias was taken in a slightly different direction than I expected, but I was still pretty satisfied.

  • They seemed to choose a younger actor then what I thought they would. In the novel, he looked a lot older but I still think Matthew was a good choice. His accent is wonderful!

  • If anyone can tell me how i can make gifs like that...reply...please =]

  • @1:49 I soooo wish someone could make that into a gif icon..

    soo bad-ass...

  • the comedian shot jfk

    other than that he was cool

  • yea, fuck that pregnant bitch.

  • Ozymandias is king in my version, The Comedian is cool as hell as well. Someone needs to upload the beginning of this movie to show these two and how they feel about eachother to those who havent seen it!
