Watchmen Movie Review

I need your Subscriptions to live!

I saw the second ever showing of Watchmen at 10am yesterday after my midterm (oo la la), so here is my review of the film.
Overall, it was a good movie, I'd probably give it a 7 out of 10.

Sorry about the late video. I wanted to post it last night, but (now resolved) problems with Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 kept me from it.
Technology hates me. :(.

Next video is comic reviews: Second Printing of Dark Avengers, Fantastic Four (564 and Dark Reign limited series), Gotham Gazette, I am Legion

the first time I saw the movie I felt much the same way you did, however I saw It a second time and really liked much more. The first time I watched it I was more focused on expecting what was coming next and seeing what was left out and what was in. The second viewing I was able to relax and watch the movie as it was and I really enjoyed it much more.

[gothamgirl2009]

I did like it a whole lot better the second time through when I saw it.

[Yudamori]

It was fine as one movie and was undersandable to anyone with a brain. You must be slow. Too faithful, not faithful enough, there's criticism either way. And what is... "campy"? He didn't "throw in" anything at all. Almost everything in the movie was exactly from the comics. You claim to have read the comics but still have no idea what was in them. It wasn't too gory. You're just a lightweight. And stop feeding the stereotype that girls can't handle gory movies.

[gothamgirl2009]

Dude, trust me. I am not a lightweight when it comes to gore. I've been watching zombie/horror movies religiously since I was about eight years old. I have no problem with gore, unless it has no purpose to the plot, and I felt Synder's over use of it had none.

And it takes a big man to insult someone's intelligence on youtube. Stay classy!

[ROCKBANDDUDE666]

it was a hard movie 2 make but the novel is WAY better

[chrispcreme]

i saw this movie without knowing nothing about it and it all made perfect sense...i read the GN after since i loved it so much and i understand it more but i still understood it perfectly without gn

[ufotruth100]

I saw the movie a friend recommended it. I never read the graphic novel though so is the novel better than the movie because I just couldn't get into the movie. I am thinking about reading the graphic novel then seeing the movie. review kick-ass

[N00DL3z84]

Sins lol

[chior]

Is this too late? Anyway... almost 2 years after the release of Watchmen and I never watch it again. The movie really upsets me. It was just a movie, not an epic like the graphic novel. And even as a movie, it fails. Too much cliches were used, like on the prison scene. The final fight, didn't fit in anything the book brought. And sorry, may sound silly, but it is not. The changing at the final...it changes all the comic book plot and it doesn't fit on the "reality" of that 1985.

[EricScissorh4nds]

@gothamgirl2009 Glad SR made it to someone other than myself's top fav. super hero flicks. Extremely underrated film IMO. Not quite as great as Superman The Movie and its Sequel. But i quite enjoyed it, cept for the whole Clark being a father thing, that was just stupid. My List; TDK Superman TM (1 & 2, Donner Cuts) Watchmen (Ultimate Cut) Batman Begins Defendor Wonder Woman (Animated) Justice League: New Frontier Batman Under the Red Hood The Crow Superman Returns Honorable Mention: Hellboy.

@gothamgirl2009 SUPERMAN RETURNS IS YOUR # 4!?!?!?!?!?!

[ElTapatio619]

You sure are a cutie

[Skeletonwitharaygun]

That movie was fantastic.

[222frankel]

im hard looking at you !!

[TomatoDragon]

This is one of those rare occasions where I have to say I enjoyed the movie more then the graphic novel.

[ckj377]

The directors cut of the film is a masterpiece. I enjoyed the theatrical cut but the directors cut fleshes out the characters SO much better.

Greatest comic book movie ever.

[wantsomecake328]

I actually really liked Watchmen, but the comic book is extremely better.

[mattfca]

i don't remember there being that much gore. maybe i was too busy getting into the characters :) excellent film

[ROCKBANDDUDE666]

fag pay attention retard

[Yudamori]

you're assuming i'm a man? and whatever zombie movies you watched when you were eight, remember, that was probably in the 80's or 90's. those were LIGHTWEIGHT zombie films lol.... i'm basing it on the fact that you said the WATCHMEN was too gory. it really wasn't. there were only a few really gross parts, and if you can't handle it close your eyes.

[randommegenter]

I diddnt read the novel ant it was SHIT

WHAT THE FUCK WAS IT BOUT?

[cuckooclock1]

I didn't read the book prior to watching the movie, but that didn't hinder the experience of watching the film for me. I was smart enough to realize there was more happening underneath the surface, so I went to Barnes &Noble and purchased the graphic novel, and it was amazing! It was the first I've ever read, and thus far, the best I've read-- I've become a fan of Alan Moore. P. S God I wish I had a girlfriend like you. We could just sit around and talk about comics all day.

[AlgorithmicCrane]

I disagree

[rogger128]

Watchmen was terrible. Graphics were amazing but, the brainless plot was stretched into a 3 hour action flick. The dialogue left a bad taste in my mouth with its phony tough guy vibe/ bad acting. And when that chick found out her dad was the "comedian" I wondered if anybody who watched unable to make that connection sooner? They spent such little time on these characters having personality, I forgot to care! And last... the costumes were corny. 1 out of 10.

[Y2JackHammer]

i had saw the movie before i read the graphic novel and i understood it very well and i loved that movie

[skasskwash]

I think you're exaggerating how "complex" the novel was.

I saw the movie with my sisters and they had no problem with the comprehension of the story.

[ibabod]

i expected more cause i actually read the book

[PluginGC]

you just say that cause you expected more getting it on cause you heard there was nudity and u just made cause it was mainly Dr. Manhattan. so there.

[ibabod]

he didn't do an "accurate" representation of the novel!!!! 1. they left out the squid monster 2. dr Manhattan leaves earth because he is tired with humans, not cause it will help with world peace. 3 when Rorschach is killed, night owl and silk specter are out getting it on again. the costumes for some of the characters are messed up. and 4 Rorschach is a filthy dirty person and people have trouble being around him cause he is so messed up in the head. this movie was made for main stream

[MrDerkderk1]

shut the fuck up. the movie was great. I had connections. I didn't read the comics and I just saw the movie. It was great.
