That would work so well in so many ways, (i hate the whole 'psychic bomb thing' it really brings the whole story down in sophistication, IMO), but fails in so many others. The whole point in the Rorschach and Doctor Manhattan's final scene, is that they are stuck in a ethical dilemma that is based on spur of the moment reasoning rather than contemplated judgment. Its a comparison to the hypothetical situations that philosophers create, to highlight the problems with moral theories. Also the whole idea that a man is able to convince a "God" of what is normatively just, kind of defeats the point in the whole Doctor Manhattan loosing his humanity. I thought the Doc kills Rorschach illustrate his attempt at trying to re-connect himself back to humanity? (Sorry about the bad English, a bit pissed at the moment). Also the idea of a morally questionable person like Ozymandias persuading a God like being like the Doc, about what is "right" just doesn't seems weird.

Knowing some people on this site they'll just go find a torrent for it.

Seems pretty cool.

In July a 3h 25 cut of the movie(under the hood/black freighter) may be released in cinema's if this one does well.

Watchmen review:

http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?FID=11018

4 Stars good to see, That Hatebox most likey sums it up on that empire link.

Things I'm looking forward to seeing: Rorschach's jail sequence, and Jon Osterman becoming Dr. Manhatten.

Thing's I'm not looking forward to seeing: Too much slow-mo, and a changed ending

I'm looking forward to finally hearing how to pronounce Rorschach. 😄

Have you not heard of a magical thing called a dictionary? They even have them on-line!

IGN gave it a 10/10 5 star review.

I have yet to read the graphic novel (though I plan to when I can get my hands on a copy) but I do plan on seeing this movie in theaters. The trailers have me pumped, and I really want to see what Zack Snyder does with this one, as I really enjoyed "300".

Use your own advice and look up the word pronounce.

Hahaha, that hole you're digging just keeps getting bigger, doesn't it?

Go on, have a try:

I even typed the word in for you! Aren't I nice?
