WHOA!! this forum is hot! lol. Man there's a lot of back and forth on this movie.

I gotta say tho the movie was ok. it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great neither. I like the comic book better. and after reading this forum, i want to give my review of this forum:

i gotta agree with the people who don't like it.
-Menetnashté had some good points about what made the movie good
-Jcvaldez also some good points about what made the movie bad
made some good points.
-tofu king got it on the money with his review.
-snake eyes doesn't know what the hell he's talking about
-Kovacs86 didn't make any sense
-Darth Jello went way to deep into the movie, Don't take it so seriously!
-The Grey Fox had nothing interesting to say
-Nephthys is completely wrong

everybody else made good points and honest opinions. My review of this forum is 8/10. Great forum! I love this site!

If you can't debate without resorting to childish logic and meaningless insults, then what's the point?

Everyone kiss and make up!

Kind of my response.

Saw the movie for the first time last night. I thought it was solid, exceeded my expectations and I enjoyed almost every minute of it. I liked that it was faithful to the comic. A lot of stuff got left out but I was prepared for that, cant expect to fit all of the dense literary elements and layers from the comic into a 2.5 hour movie. Good movie overall, definitely worth the theater ticket. Props to them for living up to the intense hype and not letting us Watchmen fanboys down.

So far JC's only valid argument is "I know about film making"

I thought it was pretty good, even if the music selection was pretty cringe inducing.

Lol... at least I have one.

Actually, they did cry for the millions of people in the comic.

Then why did you remark on the Minutemen instead of saying the crimebusters?

Typo.

But really why would they call them that? That was a failed group meeting, they had no name, they weren't a group like the minutemen. The book doesn't make it clear as to whether anyone other than the people at the meeting were aware they'd joined up for that meeting. Unless I missed something then correct me if I'm wrong.

It doesn't matter. The title Watchmen shouldn't be mentioned in anything other than the wall graffiti. Making it the name of the group is not only idiotic, but utterly defeats the purpose.

what purpose are you reffering to?

Am I the only one who either doesn't care or finds the apparent level of symbolism and metaphors unnecessary? The deeper I hear people go with it the more the story turns into an overdecorated Christmas tree to me.

Eunno, maybe the Mr. Parkers of Watchmen are getting to me.

Sir, read the book and you'll understand why some of us go balls deep so to speak.

Maybe the purpose he is refering to was that the public called them the watchmen not themselves. It was supposed to be an insult to the super heroes

Did you go balls deep too for this movie?!! 😆 😆

I just hate that people either have no attention span or for some reason treat this like a bigger tragedy than league of extraordinary gentlemen or daredevil

EDIT: Jesus Christ though, I'm watching some of the outrage on Youtube that the ending was changed and They're so f*cking pissed off it's stupid. I just want to shake them and say,'Yo what's the big f*cking deal b*tch? It's still the same message, its still the same from the book, it's just that this ending makes sense' My God these fanboys piss me off.
