WATCHMEN ROCKSSSS!!!!!!

[klominator]

"You can't replace a good story with technology, y'know." Ooh I wish George Lucas had this in mind when making the new trilogy.

Watchmen was a good movie

[whitefoxfilms]

Amen

[beastabuelos]

i see what you mean but they made it out to be an action movie

[notoriouslynx]

I don't believe watchmen should of been action. It was post-action. It was like a "behind the stars" superheroes edition.

[beastabuelos]

now i agree with that, but watchmen had just short like 5 minute bursts of action like three times. and yea the acting was good but with so little action and sooooo much just talking it didnt really even out. i never saw dark knight because i despise batman. no i know a bunch of fan boys will probly bad mouth me for that but oh well is my opinion. but i think the action should have good acting too. but watchmen was supposed to be action. but i think action and non action should be about 70%/30%

[notoriouslynx]

dark knight was longer I believe. Andd a movie full of action are usually the ones 12 year olds jizz themselves over. Now, I like action movies, but stupidly always action ones and no good acting, (for example, G.I.JOE and Transformers) are just stupid. I like talking movies with a few action (for example, Pulp Fiction).

[beastabuelos]

really? wow. but seriously for a movie of that length it was pretty much all just talking. there was barely any action and i found myself thinkin omg when is this going to be over?!

[notoriouslynx]

fuck you.

watchmen was probably one of the worst movies ive EVER seen. definate waste of 2+ hours
