I own a copy of Watchmen and Philosophy. Amazing analysis. You as well. Also, are you planning on doing a review of the Sin City film? It's almost word-for-word adapted from the graphic novels, even more so than Watchmen.

[Geekvolution]

@ReverseNegativeTV Thanks a lot! I'd like to do Sin City at some point-- right now, I'm focusing on superhero movies and it doesn't really count for that, but I'm hoping to transition some day into other comic book movies that aren't superhero films.

Can I make a suggestion?

[Geekvolution]

@J1P2K Why sure!

@johnnyblazeksgldp Here's what I was trying to get at: it's not because the villain isn't exactly like the comic. Remember I said I like the ending in the film better. It's about what's *effective*. I didn't think Veidt's portrayal in the film was effective, even for a general audience. Hard to make the judgement call, since I already knew the character, but that's how it seemed to me. From the start, he feels like the villain, and that's a problem for me.

It might have been your longest superhero rewind cap (which i never mind btw) but like you said there's no realistic way you could have done a review on watchmen with the normal time you spend on a review. And with that said i particularly enjoyed this last part the most (even with the hilariously bad cartoon), I might be alone on this but I'm a sucker for hearing you guys talk in depth about the characters and plot since i always learn something from it.

I'd still really like to hear your analysis of the watch.

[GlumPhoenix]

By the way, thanks for doing this review! Enjoyed it. :)

[GlumPhoenix]

I completely disagree that the Theatrical and Directors cuts are just shortened versions of the Ultimate cut. Snyder himself called the UC just "an experiment."

The DC is "the movie." The TC is a shorter version of "the movie." The UC is a longer version of "the movie."

I also totally disagree that the BF stuff was "seamlessly interwoven" in the movie. The UC was a very interesting mess. An experiment worth trying, but a failed one. (see my video review for full explanation)

awesome review

@DwRockett "Saturday Morning Watchmen" its an animated parody that you can find on YouTube.

[DwRockett]

where is that animated watchmen intro from? it is hilarious

[MalzraAirwynn]

@goodfellas1001 Ah, now whether Ozy IS justified is another can of worms entirely, and I won't say that he is justified, I was just explaining why the character thought he was doing a good thing.

[goodfellas1001]

@MalzraAirwynn Ok I see your point, like Inglorious Basterds diverges from reality. But the morals of Ozymandias still don't hold up well; Analogy: What if the conspiracy theories are true about Bush being responsible for 9/11, he did it for peace, so are his morals right?
