  • It's so hard to belive it's been a year now. I really did love this movie and it meet all my expectations and even improved in some areas from the comic.

    I loved the comic and loved the film. Yet it saddens me that it didn't do very well at the boxoffice and underperformed. It deserved to do better.

    I hope it becomes a cult film like Blade Runner, Donnie Darko, or even the Wizard of Oz that years after it's release, it get the recognition it deserves and becomes praised.

  • fuck you

  • Great comments! I'm glad this is a critic that takes time to think before he speaks. He sounds like a narrating wikipedia.:D

  • 300 its not star wars dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a huge gap!!!

    visionary sure, geoge lukas, matrix,2001, sure!!! but this new dude no way!!! 300 was just ok!.

  • I don't mean to be rurd, but their were three comics that changed the comic book world. The first two were the once that you have in you're review, Watchmen & the Dark Knight Returns, the thread one was Maus by Art Spiegelman.

    I know it didn't involve any superheroes, but its impact was just as large as the other two books. Such all the characters were animals, but that didn't stop it from being an accurate telling of world war two, or having great three dimensional character.

  • when I first saw the preview for watchmen when I saw the dark knight, I was wondering what is was but later I saw the book & was curious so I read a bit & later I bought the book & I have the book with me right now. When I saw the movie it was meh but maybe I should watch the movie again with a neutral point of view.

  • I actually felt Watchmen, being a 1st installment, was constructed correctly. While the film spent major time building, which took it out of the action catagory, it held your interest which is no easy task. I did not figit through any of this film. And when the action, though in small segments, kicked in...awsome! I fully enjoyed this film. I felt like: damn, it's over.

    Bummer....fun stuff

  • Movie was good, comic was better.

  • was this movie even good

  • i liked the second time better

  • I hated this movie. it was terrible

  • Kicking ass and chewing bubble gum? That was funny.

  • i thought it was going to be some sorta stupid and explicit movie, but then my friend gave me the graphic novel and i was hooked

  • this was very boring i expected to see a trailer or something you made it too deep like someones gonna pay you

  • this guy is very true tho, Watchmen is not an action movie/comic. it is more a mystery. it is a dark story of heroes who are confused human beings. that is probably why some ppl didnt like the movie, they were expecting spiderman or batman. the movie was awesome, only f you knew what the watchmen was about so he's right, they should of marketed better

  • 06:01 That was disturbing...

  • well said.

  • boring movie~  bad movie~

  • very well said. and good use of comedic releif on certain parts that dragged on. (the movie will be BEEP-ing awesome!)

  • You are right.  amazing review. Dude the movie was awesome. the marketing sucked. should have been marketed to the indy crowd, the new yorker, the wall street journal, instead they went for mass audience and got a backlash...

  • well said. very logical. agree with you all the way.

  • I hate the girl who they choose for Miss Jupiter. (Juspeczyk was her real name, I think)

  • Why? She had the look and the personality down.

  • Zach Snyder and Timur Bekmanbetov are the only two true "visionary" directors.

  • i think snyder deserved visionary after dawn of the dead, just because it was the greatest remake ever.

  • where can i actually watch this movie without fucking paying for it

  • I don't think Zack Snyder was visionary. His films are completely unoriginal, based on this or that.

  • Most of Kubrick's movies were based on a book or something, but he was able to take his films to places that made him stand out as a creative mind on his own, so I think your estimation about Snyder is still fairly true.

  • man i think you drank 1-2 bottles of water after that xD

  • watchmen was a disgrace. All surface No depth. We knew over a year agoa that this movie was not going to be good.

  • But it still made it to top sales on weekend break

  • I agree with you 100%. Fantastic review - what you said made a lot of sense.

  • i watched movie in regal theaters , 2 hours long , boring

  • That's probably because you didn't understand what the movie was trying to tell you. You only got the plot, and decided it was under your standards of a good movie.

    What you fail to realize, is that Watchmen is above your intellectual standard, therefore you went in expecting entertainment, when Watchmen is about you entertaining the ideas it presents.

    That's why most people think it's boring. It's above their head.

  • agreed

  • man....take a breath..lol

    you're talk like a machine

    cool video....

  • If he talked slower these videos would last for hours. Great video btw.

  • lol i laughed hard at the colours you said around then end xD

  • doc manhattan

  • That movie was so weird when i saw it, but now i want to buy it on dvd....that is weird?

  • Nice analysis but boy what a grating shrill voice.

  • like you mother? oooh don't cry

  • i had sex last night with the missers and she said great dick! and i said yeah just like that blue guy

  • It was IRRITATING AND DISGUSTING to watch a man with a blue dick walking around thru out the whole movie. Only Gay people like this. LOL LOL LOL 2 thumb down movie

  • moron, the reason why doc manhattan is naked is because he doesn't care about the earth and humans and everything from civilization, thus making him free to be naked

  • ur freaking disgusting u sick jerk

  • Comment removed

  • I really liked it i admit im not a comic fan so no i didnt read it but as a movie it stands very well its a one of the best Action movies ive seen in awhile like i said not a comic fan accept Spawn but just because the auther of the graphic noval dont like it he also hated the adaption of v for vandetta which was very good as well but just because he didnt like it alot of people condemed it before seening it its a good 4 star movie silk specter 2 could of been casted alot better is the only -

  • dude..give u props..:-)

  • damn..He fucking nailed it..Great Review!

  • deep.

  • very true. but after seeing the movie and not reading the comic, the movie itself is raising questions of good and evil, right and wrong and all between them.

    Great movie, not so great preview...

  • its like listening to an amazing essay

  • do you realy see his dong through the whole movie?

  • Yes, but that isn't really important.

    The entire movie, everyone in the theater was giggling and muttering about his dick. And Watchmen is an incredible storyline, comic, movie, etc., so it pissed me off. Hah.

  • after the first 2 times u really dont notice especially among the brilliant imagery and direction

  • but batman dosent have any powers ether

  • so what's the score?

  • super great review, but watch out for the spoiler please.

  • Damn, he talks alot, and sure can hold his breath....but he's a good critic.

  • The colors he named were kinda hilarious. Great review!

  • while i enjoyed the film, the casual audience and it's lukewarm reception killed off a lot of the buzz and box office take. seen it twice already, and both times i got a different experience out of it.

  • in box office its going better than dragonball i agreed with the many even that i am dragonball fun

  • awsome insight

  • 0:01

  • please, show the clips and leave it there, swearing doesnt suit you, kindof like tyra banks saying you go girl or YEAAH!

  • I kept wanting to punch the Comedian in the mouth, but remember it was just a actor. He was a annoying character though... -_-

  • dude he was bad ass wish he had more parts

  • thanks alot for the review! im glad i saw it, i didnt know ANYTHING aboutthe movie and didnt wanna see it because of the reviews but now that i knowsomething aboutthe story im VERY interested in seeing it!

  • Great insight thanks! 5/5

  • I was never really interested in comic books, but the history behind them is definitely interesting.

  • Watchmen was so amazing. And the movie was remarkable.

  • awsome mmovie saw on the day it opend

  • this movie is fin crap

  • this fucking movie was horrible it fucking sucks nothing what i expected

  • this reviewer is a windbag.

  • The Movie was I'd say on Par with the novel just a little to actiony like the one scene where the girl and night owl are fighting a bunch of guys in the ghetto and a guy's elbow is popped out it seemed a fair bit out of place

  • watchmen was better than that overrated dark knight. yes, reply to this comment over lover of dark knight whoever you are.

  • i agree ppl act like the dark knight was a movie version of the bible... really. i havent seen this movie yet, im gunna =]

  • wasn't bad, but I expected more

    vioku. com has the full movie free

  • I think you captured the reason why this movie got a lot of its bad reviews... the preview totally misrepresented who the target audience of the movie should've been... which is a shame 'cause it was a great movie

  • Wow i'm changing to DC F@KKK Marvel LOL

  • it's a good movie, the content is pretty deep.

  • No offence movie preview critic guy, you need to get out more and get yourself a girlfriend!

  • "you need to get out more and get yourself a girlfriend! "

    Wow, all of a sudden you know the personal life of this guy? Are you really a psychic!? Teach meee!

  • haha, so cause a guy had ten extra mins so he could make this vid, that means that rest of the 23 hrs and 50 mins could not be spend with his life, like a job girl or other things lmao??

  • he does for fun get a life you movie fool Hhahahahahaha

  • haha, CGI porn

  • this is a great movie

  • After reading most of these comments I can tell most American audiences are pussy's!!! WTF is wrong with everyone? This movie kick motherfucking ass!!! I loved it! Obviously not as good as the book which I read three times but good none the less. Stop saying there was too much violence and nudity. GROW THE FUCK UP! There were some cheesy songs that could have been left out but all in all it was entertaining and I plan on buying the directors cut when it comes out on Blu-Ray. =)

  • Loved the GN, HATED the movie. Just my opinion.

  • i haven't seen either, but they seem to change films WAY too much when they adapt them from books, etc.

  • The Movie just totally blew my mind,

    I've read the book like 4 times even before the movie came out and like I'd say 80 percent of that movie was faithful, which says a helliva lot.

  • 6:01 they are known as the minutemen, sorry

  • Saniac93, they're actually Crimebusters. Minutemen is the name of the previous group of crime fighters. Sorry.

  • I think this movie was amazing, great special effects, and the first 10 minutes of this movie was fucking KICK ASS

  • That spiraled some confusion for me too. only 2 people had super powers, and the rest were joes. There was the blotting mask, but that's no power.

    However, they made the normal ones incredibly real and flawed (the good kind) and they weren't fanfic Gary Stus. Mr. Mantahan almost ideal and Godlike or above human, yet somehow, proven to be wrong.

    Loved the Duke Nukem refference.

    I facepalmed when Danny DeVito showed up.

  • I just saw it, and it was a complete mindfuck. Confusion all around. I tried to go deeper into the understanding of the plot. I know I am definately missing something.

    Even in the movie they barely mention their names.

    Also I know Mr. Manhattan was mostly shown naked as imagery to separate him from humans, but come on. Did we need to see it that much?

    Yeah, there's a ton of sex scenes. Rule 34 leaves no exceptions.

  • Frankly I've never seen a more pleasing naked man.

    OK seriously, the thing about Dr Manhatten is that he's supposed to be perfectly chiselled like a statue of an Ancient Greek/Roman God and they were always portrayed either mostly/completely naked junk 'n' all.

    You're obviously someone who has mixed feelings about this movie in regards to several things, so you should find a forum to discuss this in, YT ain't the best place

  • I've asked a lot of people, and they too had a lot of mixed feelings. I'm going to have to focus on the plot a bit more, then I can state my real opinion on it.

    All the characters were well-crafted. Well, not really the Nite Owl. He just seemed like a wormy guy who can put on a suit.

  • it was a really really good movie you are just jeluas that you dident even think about making a movie this good ,if you didnt like it you wold not even put the word watchmen in the serch box

  • Watchman Was a 3 hours waste of my life

  • WatchmEn was awesome

  • agreed watchmen was fuckin amazing

  • I been reading comics for almost 20 years. I can say this movie get's a 2 1/2 out of 5. It was just ok.

    I'm a big marvel fan. I like some DC characters. Anyway as must see. I was wait for the DVD

  • Watchmen sucks ...i've seen it.

    All the shit is all about is sex, Laurie is really a whore. Seriously it's only sex all about.

  • yep a superhero action porno

  • You can't handle that much blue dick?

  • I can handle it, but it's still a crappy movie and a creepy dick .

  • I liked the movie, but I definitely agree that the dick was creepy. It seemed to get bigger with every scene, which freaked me out a little bit. lol

  • Man I would love to get drunk with you.

  • this guy is a big nerd who needs to take a breath

  • thanks, well done! so true.

  • Thanks dude, pretty straight foward

  • Holy 5!

    This was really well done. I like your in-depth examination of the film.

  • The graphic novel was great - the best written graphic novel that I ever read. The movie probably won't be able to capture the level of dimensions of the Watchmen story, but I still think the movie will still be good & worth seeing. Many fans of the graphic novel have big expectations for the movie which will make it difficult for them to enjoy it.

    Relax peeps - there won't be a case of Zack Snyder saying "the world will look up and shout ' save us from your movie!' and I'll whisper 'no'".

  • the preview not revealing the plot is a good thing ,I don't want to know much about it i'd rather go see it. and then it unfolds

  • This is one of those films that people will love or hate. Nothing wrong with luvin' it- but I hated it.

    Unlike the reviewer here, I thought the movie was pretty much like the trailer- overblown, slogging, and pretentious.

  • Dude, very nicely said..i was confused when i wacthed the trailer

  • Lol, Dr. Manhattan junk shot at 5:13

    Great preview.

  • Never read the comic when to see the movie loved it still reading the comic.

  • I'mgoona go see this at a midnight showing in three hours. Whoot! xD

  • A wonderfully in-depth and intelligent Watchmen movie analysis, look forward to more future uploads.

  • Never heard of the Watchmen so I agree. I don't have any interest in seeing it because all it is is action, action, action and not wonderful. Maybe it will be but I'll wait.

  • ...No. It is not all action. If you admit you have not heard of it, then why do you assume it's all action?

  • The preview leads you to believe that it's an action film. Also, when you think of the director of 300, you think action.

  • What I mean is that is what the preview lead me to believe just as was said in the video.

  • i wouldn't call the 300 director visionary, 300 graphics where good, but the moive lacked in other areas so much, visionary suggests more than just looks, it suggests feels, ideas, emotions, themes, styling, something new. 300 had none

  • THNX!!!! :)

  • you know after reading the book I can identify EVERY scene in the preview. I now can understand that those who didn't read can't get any story out of the preview. However the best way to view a movie to me is not to know absolutely nothing outside the title.

  • Yeah, the trailer doesnt reveal much. the first time I saw it I was like "...what the fuck was that?" Genius marketing there, as when people saw it they rushed out to get the book so they would get it.. I know I did.

  • But I will argue against the trailer reveals no character. I think Rorschach get's established, but that's just me.

  • yeah, me too. its almost as if they knew people wouldn't like this unless they read the book so they wanted to make sure everyone was up to speed before any one watched the watchmen.

  • Zack snyder is no Stanely Kubrick

  • very nice MPC ;)

  • Nailed it, i have no clue about what watchman is, but you said it, they go for money and treat us like meat sacks with no ability to conceive anything above the density of spiderman. I would like to know the story behind this famous series, but money grubbing white fat cats could care less if i understand the story. its either underestimation of americas citizens or low economy and they found themselves itching and realised in the process they cant afford anything. Nice upload, Thanks.

  • never thought about it this way...

    shit

  • Zack snyder= lack of new material and a brain

  • He also made the new Dawn Of the Dead.Why does everyone forget that.

  • cuse its a remake

  • i must say you do the best movie previews/reviews, very articulated

    keep it up

  • There we go

    This is much better. I don't know if this is your response to my last comment, but glad to see your

    original preview critic videos again.

  • Ego strokejob... best line ever.

  • Your color descriptions are inspired. Love this channel still and very excited for Watchmen!

  • kool...a movie preview review.

    we havnt had this in a while.

  • We had this 2 weeks ago

  • Woah woah wait a second here. Did you just put Snyder's 300 on the same visionary playing field as 2001 space odyssey, star wars and the matrix?!?!?! I understand the intent, which is to say that the visual style of 300 really pushed the boundaries, but the term visionary includes the content of the idea behind it. I'm pretty sure a horribly inaccurate portrayal of the Battle of Thermopylae does not constitute a visionary film. Other than that incredible review.

  • FINALLY!!!

  • its good because the story is BRILLIANT there should be a surprise while viewing this film so that its impact hits u fully.

    also on the director point i think that scared me a little- 300 was good yes bt that direction doesnt suit watchmen whc is more of a thriller type story.

    and on tht note i agree wholeheartedly with the story point. Main flaw from the marketing

    good preview again

  • The only thing that worries me is the director. Snyder can't direct actors for shit, and usually puts effed up morality, and as said, puts visuality before content.

  • Wow, you take no prisoners! I'm glad you did this and didn't just drift along with everybody else here MPC.

  • i'd never heard of the watchmen comic until this movie was anounced. when i saw the trailer, i thought "so its bunch of guys in rediculous costumes, a half naked floating blue guy and some cool special effects. BIG. FREAKING. DEAL, i hope its a good movie, but from that preview and since i don't know the comic, i don't have high hopes for it.

  • Read the comic, avoid the movie. Trust me.

  • the comic started everything youve seen in realistic heroes.

    from the dark knight to the tv series heroes- so read the comics AT LEAST

    its briliant

  • There is another problem it is an 18 my friend read the graphic novel and loved it but he is only 15 so what the hell!!

  • I've Ever Read Watchman But Now I Kind Of Want To Go See It

  • The soundtrack sounds kick ass

  • it is a murder mystery but appearntly zach synder extended the fight scenes, so now the action genre is added to it.

  • Kicking ass and chowing bubblegun lol!

    duke nukam is awesome

  • As Always,

    very entertaining!

    I really wish you could finish The Dark Knight review..

    never too late to review a movie.

  • well my good old freind your videos never seem to get old keep up the good work

  • You're right TMPC. I don't know **** about Watchmen and the trailer left me confused, although I could gleam that there was a mystery/conspiracy thing going on.

    I have other reasons for being so hyped up: one is that I had never heard of Watchmen (born in 1987) 'til David Hayter (aka Solid Snake) talked about writing the script for this movie in an interview, since he's a massive fan of the graphic novel. I also read a preview in the Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper that normally hates

  • action movies like the plague, that talked about the rough ride this movie went through, including all the pressures Snyder felt from the execs, demanding that the setting be 20 years later for example and cutting out graphic scenes so as to make it more widely available. He did cut down on the running time but that's something you can't help be wary of in Hollywood.

    So this movie strikes me to be one of the most inventive and daring we've had for a while

  • I eagerly await WATCHMEN but...

    I disagree with the Zack Snyder "visionary" claim. Those other directors that you mentioned were "visionary" because they presented to us their vision of their own unique story.

    So far Zack Snyder has only given us Frank Miller's story and pretty much copied Frank's vision page for page.

    I think we should hold off on the Zack Snyder praise until he gives us something other than someone else's graphic novel translated to celluloid (cheesey lines and all).

  • some problem, like me. don't even know what watchmen means till i wiki it :P.

    most of the young generation really don't know about watchmen

  • good video

  • 5:25 my favorite part....hahaha, you had my sides hurting. 5 stars

  • I don't know why morph755 said the dark knight sucked I thought it was awesome but whatever. 300 was bad because of it's lack of plot and its over the top stupidity of a bunch of half naked guys with an IQ of 50 fighting a war. But maybe people didn't like the Dark Knight because of the fact that it was too long and a FEW fans were just seeking a good action movie with a little less plot(I don't know). However watchmen looks like a good movie.

  • The content probably is too smart for everyone..the majority anyways.

     >.>

  • Watchmen movie looks horrible! Zack Snyder sucks! Visionary? more like competent hack. 300 sucked, it was dull and boring. Visuals, effects, and slow-motion have nothing to do with Watchmen, they shouldn't even be in the movie.

  • i agree, watchmen isn't an action hero comic, i've read till dr manhattan goes to mars and still it isn't "THAT" interesting to me. I like the Idea of all characters personalities, but would they be able to fix an inch thick comic book into a 2 and a half/3 hours movie, i doubt that.

    Most of the flashbacks are essential to the characters so they can't just rush it through.

    anyway, you know you're still gonna watch it, even though there's a chance it'll fail

  • I haven't been so excited about going to the theatre since "The Dark Knight". Actually, I saw the "Watchmen" trailer before TDK and was still excited about it after the movie. I have a feeling this one's going to be something special.

  • saw it already foo wondercon rules

  • I want to see a crayon box with the colors you've named.

  • Well my friend I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree on 300. I see very little merit to that film.

    I do however think you're hitting the main points right so far. Looing forward to the rest as always TMPC.

  • Good thing you did this MPC...for all i knew, Watchmen looked like a crazy Indie action movie (note: i didn't see the "from the director of" when i first caught the preview..lol)

    When i saw what i did of the preview, i was getting flashbacks of "The 5th Element" Though now that i know a bit more about Watchmen here..I know what i shouldn't expect now thanks to the preview. Curse you H-Wood Marketers! D:<

  • you most have missed the new trailers, it reveals more.

  • am i the only one who wasn't excited? I'm more excited for terminator salvation

  • nope, im the same

  • Watching these videoes is like gettting a PhD in cimena.
