The sex scene was awkward because it was awkward in the comic. I thought that it was fairly close to the original intent of the comic.

Perhaps it was how we came into the theater. I heard a lot of bad reviews so I walked in not expecting much while you had the opposite experience.

I thought it was incredible.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear when I said "sex scene" -- I was referring to the successful sex scene on the airship, not the attempt at sex that happened on the couch. I agree that the bit where Dan can't get an erection was spot on, but I couldn't deal with the successful sex scene that happened later because of the ridiculous music and the excessive nudity. It felt over-the-top to me.

Agreed. The whole movie was awkward. Snyder can't direct a movie like The Watchmen, that's why I like 300 way more, the material is less mature and primal, violent based which is why everyone agrees to enjoy Rorschach's character in The Watchmen, he represents Snyder's interests and strengths as a director the best. But you can't make an ensemble film work off the strength of just one character. I was expecting way more.

I completely agree with you about the movie. I loved the graphic novel so much. And I saw the movie because I heard it was good, and at the very beginning I was so pumped. But than the movie strarted to lose me. One of the main things that bothered me was the music transitions. The songs were completely taking me out of it. It was very upsetting. The movie didn't really need to have "99 Red Balloons" or "All Along The Watchtower" Or worst of all "Hallelujah". I was so excited at the opening of

@randomusername824 DISAGREE. You have no idea. (From her boyfriend)

I have to agree with you. People who are saying the sex scene was awkward on purpose are missing the point. The entire movie was awkward, the music and visuals totally didn't mesh in almost every scene, it wasn't just the sex. At first I thought Rorschach was pretty good too, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that Haley didn't really understand the character. He was playing him more as what fans remember Rorschach as being like than what Rorschach actually was like.

I didn't read the book, and I HATED this movie. It was simply awful, IMO.

The book and movie both were real awesome.Sex scene not that big of a deal.Get over it !!!

I think the point of that wasn't that it was okay to kill millions. It was that they couldn't reveal Adrian's scheme to the world without setting the whole world back on the road to nuclear war.

And that Rorschach would rather face oblivion than be party to that. It's what made his death poigniant.
