Meh, to be honest, I think the overused Christian Bale Batman voice is overused, I think it actually FITS for Rorschach. Like, this voice here has the monotone down, but it sounds too....good. This guy doesn't sound like an emotionally dead, smelly weirdo (not that Rorschach isn't lovable or sympathetic in his own way. Plus he drowned a midget in the toilet, which was pretty boss).
the movie was well made & all actors did a great job.
of course things will be lost/cut in a 2 hour or so version of the graphic novel...
but be honest: gritty? yes. more true to source material than Xmen & others? Yes. Fans be glad this film may bring others to the books. & stop feeling like Watchmen belongs & was meant to appeal to you alone. If you feel that way i suggest you watch/read it again.
@TimesInfinity101 can't be comprehended today? The world's economy in shambles much like before both World Wars? Idiotic conflicts fueled by the desire for control over resources? A world that is at war and thousands of people die every day in combat? So called "Revolutions" in countries with large oil supplies that get help by the "good guys"? Oh let's not forget the separation of classes. Cos that's a thing.
The world is closer to an end than you might think.
This scene was, and still is, chilling. The motion comic's finest moment. And yes, this is where the motion comic beats out the movie. It also beats the movie when it comes to the score.
@condor143 rorschach ain't crazy dude, he is so aware of the horrors of the world that he is almost trapped in that aspect of reality but he ain't crazy
@fsfsfsfsfsfsg well this motion comic is just a bunch of talk and theres nothing beautiful about it that i can see, do you mean the book? the marvel super heroes = ACTION
@regvision I can see why you didn't like it first of all dont be an Ignorant this is NOT even marvel its DC and its not just pointless action its a lesson of LIFE the Message its beautiful, you know there are thing that actually have messages, not just pointless "action", but if your not open minded and all you want is "action" instead of looking for the deep meaning of its art, you wont get it. its supposed to leave you a message... go troll somewhere else...
@fsfsfsfsfsfsg im all for messages and i know this is DC (not marvel) but the narrator is so damn irritating that i just cant stick around long enough to see what the life lesson is
@regvision well the narration is part of it the whole thing it works together to be a beautiful story, Im not looking forward to discussions but seriously its GRAPHIC novel its not like whole pages full of narration, so I believe its immature that you get bored with reading or even watching it, and if you pay attention and are open minded you will understand it there a lots of messages behind it its a Master Piece but its simple enough to at least get you to understand the main message!
@fsfsfsfsfsfsg well to my understanding there are three versions of this the motion comic the novel and the movie im confused as to which one you are advocating but because of what you say i am willing with an open mind to try an watch this thing and pay full attention to every detail, it dosnt guarantee that ill change my opinion but who knows maybe i will.
@regvision well I'm sue it will and... "oh no you didn't"... Movie= its just some kind of attempt of summarizing the novel (novel came first man the original the only that matters) the Novel is the full complete deal, how can you even say that, its totally obvious, I'm starting to doubt you even watch the motion comic (never mind reading the whole novel) the movie its a little to confuse, if you haven't read the novel or if you dont read it afterwards...
@regvision hahaha, damn! this is why I think its stupid (for both of the people) to argue on youtube... but well cleared that, I hope theres no hard feeling, at least theres nothing from my part :)!
@luizberger The way I see it, its a different way to experience it, y'know? I personally LOVE graphic novels, and do find this kind of pointless in one way (it defeats the passage of time that comics have) and I find the animation is lazy, but it's decent.
Just watched Watchmen:Director's Cut again yesterday. Also read about Watchmen in Wiki. I learned so much.. Rorsharch's Journal comic, The Comedian's Vietnam War comic, THIS MOTION COMIC. I just adore Watchmen. Both the novel & the film.
Because in the novel and this motion comic the birth of Edward Blake at 1924, which makes his attempted rape of Sally Jupiter at 16, not only a young age but also a minor in America and other parts of the world, which in my understanding puts a few restrictions on films, tv, etc, putting it as 1914 in the movie bumps his age into 26, something with no complications above those of the character.
@gregytu1 it's a joke about the feeling of people in those ages.. the joke is that even the clowns (who bring happines) are scared of the uncertain future
Certainly makes it more epic with the music, but I don't think I could sit through the whole graphic novel in motion form. I prefer to just read the novel.
The watchmen live action film would've been better if it was a mini series or a one or two season show on HBO. They would've had enough time to do the entire story with all the supporting characters from the book and probably wouldn't have had to change the ending. But its about making that quick dollar instead of the recognition for your work. They would've made money off of the dvd's just fine but they really weren't thinking this through.
Between the motion comic and the live action version I prefer the motion comic a lot more even though there were good thing about the live one like jackie earl haley, patrick wilson and jeffery dean morgan performances but the film was cut down too much most of supporting case was gone but with the motion comic everything is in there.
This scene was executed better in the Motion Comic than in the movie. Which is disappointing since this was one of my favorite parts of the graphic novel.
Rorschach has become one of my favorite Vigilantes and the things he says in the motion comic are strong and not holding back on the bleak and dark truths. Rorschach, rest in peace.
@kurukururock ("This is excellent, but doesn't his voice sound a little bit like Microsoft Sam?")
"Rorschach's Journal. In A.D. 2101, war was beginning. What happen? Somebody set up us the bomb. Somebody knows. We get signal. Tonight, a comedian died in New York. It's you. All your whores and politicians are belong to us. You are on the way to destruction. You have no chance to survive...make your time. Take off every "squid". Rorschach signing out...For great justice."
The only problem I have with the movie is Snyder did not keep track of all the intercutting montage and call-backs between the dialogue voice-over and scenes. He didn't time obvious bits like "that should pick you up" (Blake picked up and thrown thru window) instead he played crosscutting dialogue as a straight summary, running the alternate scenes straight while the voice-over character talks about something else.
I think this was due to the editor not being reminded to pick up on certain cues. So scenes (and the "dark enough for TV" bit while they go into a dark alley) were included, but dialogue didn't sync up with the scenes like it did in every panel of the comic, ruining the effect and making it seem like it was just to be faithful to what was happening in the panels. That, & the violence was gratuitously excessive, whereas Moore's violence was merely trying to be gritty & realistic. Otherwise good.
Frank Miller wishes he could make social commentary like this and invent complex characters like Moore. His attempts lead to crap like The Dark Knight Strikes Again.
I really enjoy this voice. It`s unique, doesn`t sound like batman
Rorshach was a monotone speaker from the comic, I do however like the live movie. Even without the squid, it was pretty damn good. I wish though that they`d have just let himbe monotone
@WeNeedSomeGolfShoes it would be awesome if they did this instead of the movies in some instances , so people wont get angry when it isnt true to the original
It definitely is depressing, but more honest than any cinematic sequence.
Rorshach is a clear black & white thinker - & a complete pessimist - but in his line of work it pays 2 understand the brutalities of life... altho it wud be healthier 2 hope 4 the better.
How did u come by the soundtrack: i cud only find it on myspace & sum musician site licensed sample.
The soundtrack is really something underground. I can't really say how I got it because I dont want a friend fired from WB but it has an exculsive printed label on it.
This was FAR better done than the movie. And honestly I think the movie copied this (the Motion Comic did come out before) but it didn't feel right. All the visuals were a second too late than they should have been.
I've always liked this narrator's Rorschach voice, because it sounds just like how Moore intended it (watch his version to see), and honestly a monotone voice sounds more like an anti-social than someone tweaking out. Serial Killer Kuklinski had monotone voice.
Not to mention this uses an original score, which I don't know why the movie didn't go with. Using songs in a movie is a crutch and glaring mark of a "summer blockbuster" half-assed job.
An original score will ALWAYS sound better, because instead of trying to put a song that fits in, the music fits the visuals like a glove. Because they were hand-tailored for it.
What are you taking about? How could the movie have possibly copied the Motion Comic? The Motion Comic began production long after they had finished filming the movie; the film was well into it's post-production phase when the Motion Comic entered it's pre-production phase.
The Motion Comic was released July of 2008, more likely that it was completed as the movie was cleaning up Production and moving into Post, but everything's fluid these days so we don't know exactly when they started working on post.
It's not like the Motion Comic copied the movie. If anything disregard my comment, I'm sure Snyder came up with it by himself, it is based on a comic afterall. My comment still stands that this felt far better than the movie did.
@VictorHarvardWilson No I'm afraid I can't agree with you. I think Snyder focused too much on minute details and not enough on the themes of the film. Strictly from a film perspective it was a mess, but honestly Watchmen should never have been a movie. It should have been a 12 part miniseries just as the Motion Comics portray it as, because each issue is it's own contained story and you lose the messages behind thos stories when you cram them into two and a half hours. If you like it, great.
i don't imagine rorscach with thi kind of voice neither do i imagine him with the voice he had in the movie i imagine him with a more insane tone to his voice
I read it as Mow-lock when I read the comic and thought I'd got it wrong when I heard them saying Molluck in the movie - I just assumed that they must have checked stuff like that when adapting it!
I thought the film was ok. Not amazing though. I first saw the motion comic projected onto a wall in a night club the other day! It was pretty cool.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I honestly think Rorschach should have a Russian accent because of his grammar, and because of his name,Walter KOVACS,even though he lived in New York probably his whole life,and shouldn't technically have developed any sort of a Russian accent, that just seems to fit him. he could have a voice that's both Russian-sounding AND "monotone" voice.
I'm not bothered by the limited animation of this, this is prob'ly better than the movie, except for there's just a narrator and no real voice actors..
It's just an accent, not his nationality; it's been around long before the Soviet Union started. I just imagined his voice to sound eastern European-like.
Not living there or not liking the current culture/government of countries with citizens with accents somewhat similar to himself won't make him have a different natural voice. He could also have a Swedish-y accent with the w's replaced with v's but in a grungy way.

Hmm...I'm wondering did they just use flash on the original images and make em' move or was this completely redone from scratch using the originals as a reference?
wow everyone look at when silk specter talks about his voice being creepy and a monotone this is how his voice should be i'll admit he did a good job portraying rorschach but the voice was too batman for me
Reading the book, I never quite understood Rorsarch's motivations. It always seemed like he was taking the Comedian's murder a little too seriously. But after seeing this particular scene with motion and music, it all makes sense.
I keep listening to this scene over and over again I really relate to the way Rorschach thinks. I know he is a little crazy but he is brilliant and so insightful. My personality is more like Doctor Manhattan but my thought process is more like Rorschachs.
Rorschach is a cool character in the comic, but I don't know if you should be proud when you think like him ... he's a very black-and-white-thinker .... and he is paranoid ....
I like how this looks i dont have the motion comic just have the regular graphic novel. Anyway, another excellent version is Alan moore reading it as rorschach. He really sounds creepy.
Book and this motion comic is way better than the movie, although I dont know how much better they could make the movie without it being 6 hours. Just wish they could have more than one voice for the motion comic
That was great. The music in this scene was better in the movie. Even though the movie was cut down a lot, THIS was even rushed and it's 5 hours right? Listen to how fast he's talking. Sounds weird. Still good though.
this is my favorite scene in the whole motion comic! i never realized how sad/deep/depressing/tru it was until i saw the motion comic and the music played. it really got to me... and i started to cry. i never wouldve thought that a cartoon would make me cry!!! but that just goes to show you... watchmen is more than that... much much more. my favorite saying in here by rorschach is "American love, like coke in green glass bottles, they don't make it anymore."
This makes the movie version look like garbage, the pacing and timing far superior, the music composed so elegantly, and the reader's voice perfectly capturing Rorschach's monotone yet somber inflection.
this is so beautiful. the accumulation of all that guilt is conveyed so powerfully that you can actually feel his soul screaming out for redemption at 2:40. so beautiful.
Teats is pronounced 'teets,' it's true. 'Teats' is the word they're using. 'Tits,' however, is another word (and the word I'm guessing that you thought they were trying to say) and is indeed pronounced just as it's spelled.
Meh. If 'tits' and 'teats' are the same word then I guess 'read' and 'raid' are the same word too... This is too much. Just do a quick Google search and see. Educate yourself, dumbass.
Your logic is nonexistent. Read and Raid have different definitions. Tits and teats have same definition. Same derivative. Same pronunciation. Tits is slang. Teats is correct. Same pronunciation. I did my search. Where did you do yours?
6093 you have got to be a moron in the highest regard. This scene is classic! Great pick. Just watched the movie and as I expected it was just too big for Snyder. I told my friends to buy the video or read the comic it's so much better.
yeah..I agree, but that part when the comedian visits Moloch and he says to him that how sad his life is when Moloch as his enemy is the closest person to a friend.
Wow. and I thought I was depressed.

The Motion Comic was released July of 2008, more likely that it was completed as the movie was cleaning up Production and moving into Post, but everything's fluid these days so we don't know exactly when they started working on post.
It's not like the Motion Comic copied the movie. If anything disregard my comment, I'm sure Snyder came up with it by himself, it is based on a comic afterall. My comment still stands that this felt far better than the movie did.

@TwistedGentleman The motion comic was made as a promotion for the movie
gamerfire3 2 years ago
Not true. DC Motion Comics had been around for a while, producing two more before Watchmen. It's merely another division of DC.
Was it's creation influenced by the popularity spike? Sure. But it wasn't a direct promotional tool for the movie.

@TwistedGentleman
But, you have got to admit the movie was well made.
It didn't end up bad like we all expected it to be.
It had a nice atmosphere of the dark and gritty world and the actors played their roles well.

@VictorHarvardWilson No I'm afraid I can't agree with you. I think Snyder focused too much on minute details and not enough on the themes of the film. Strictly from a film perspective it was a mess, but honestly Watchmen should never have been a movie. It should have been a 12 part miniseries just as the Motion Comics portray it as, because each issue is it's own contained story and you lose the messages behind thos stories when you cram them into two and a half hours. If you like it, great.

I'm a little confused, is Moloch supposed to be pronounced like "Mah-leck" or "Mow-lock"? In the movie it sounded like the first way....hm...
mIsSJeSTR 2 years ago
its mow-lock
Kitsushika 2 years ago
yeah "Mow-Lock" is correct...alot of things were pronounced incorrectly in the film
they pronounced Ozymandias as "Ozy-man-day-us" instead of "dee-us"
also Gila Flats is pronounced "Hee-la" with a silent g...they pronounced it with a solid g
elgreynacho 2 years ago 3
I read it as Mow-lock when I read the comic and thought I'd got it wrong when I heard them saying Molluck in the movie - I just assumed that they must have checked stuff like that when adapting it!
I thought the film was ok. Not amazing though. I first saw the motion comic projected onto a wall in a night club the other day! It was pretty cool.

I honestly think Rorschach should have a Russian accent because of his grammar, and because of his name,Walter KOVACS,even though he lived in New York probably his whole life,and shouldn't technically have developed any sort of a Russian accent, that just seems to fit him. he could have a voice that's both Russian-sounding AND "monotone" voice.
I'm not bothered by the limited animation of this, this is prob'ly better than the movie, except for there's just a narrator and no real voice actors..

It's just an accent, not his nationality; it's been around long before the Soviet Union started. I just imagined his voice to sound eastern European-like.
Not living there or not liking the current culture/government of countries with citizens with accents somewhat similar to himself won't make him have a different natural voice. He could also have a Swedish-y accent with the w's replaced with v's but in a grungy way.

Reading the book, I never quite understood Rorsarch's motivations. It always seemed like he was taking the Comedian's murder a little too seriously. But after seeing this particular scene with motion and music, it all makes sense.

I keep listening to this scene over and over again I really relate to the way Rorschach thinks. I know he is a little crazy but he is brilliant and so insightful. My personality is more like Doctor Manhattan but my thought process is more like Rorschachs.

this is my favorite scene in the whole motion comic! i never realized how sad/deep/depressing/tru it was until i saw the motion comic and the music played. it really got to me... and i started to cry. i never wouldve thought that a cartoon would make me cry!!! but that just goes to show you... watchmen is more than that... much much more. my favorite saying in here by rorschach is "American love, like coke in green glass bottles, they don't make it anymore."

Teats is pronounced 'teets,' it's true. 'Teats' is the word they're using. 'Tits,' however, is another word (and the word I'm guessing that you thought they were trying to say) and is indeed pronounced just as it's spelled.
Mahler4EVA 2 years ago
Same word. Same definition too. Coincidence. Of course not.

Meh. If 'tits' and 'teats' are the same word then I guess 'read' and 'raid' are the same word too... This is too much. Just do a quick Google search and see. Educate yourself, dumbass.

Your logic is nonexistent. Read and Raid have different definitions. Tits and teats have same definition. Same derivative. Same pronunciation. Tits is slang. Teats is correct. Same pronunciation. I did my search. Where did you do yours?
