Not just that. Good trailers will only get you so far. If the film had sucked donkey ass, word of mouth and social media outlets would have damaged it shortly after release.
You're just sandy all the time. Just relax and enjoy the board. None of the dc ones I have seen were any good. Opinions on what is better is entirely subjective anyways. Key word is IF. That's a pretty big word, brudda.
Granted The Watchmen did well...but there's only a handful of Moore fans who dragged their partners & friends to see the flick & fill the seats.
Many of my friends who knew nothing of Alan Moore or the characters for that matter, did pay to see the movie but walked out afterwards complaining it was too long & none of the characters were "likeable".
Some couldn't even get past the sight of "The Big Blue Weenie."
I honestly didn't care for the Watchmen. I never read the comic either so I didn't go into it with high expectations. My complains were the same it was too long and I wanted it to end. The climax of the film was also unsatisfactory imo.
I have no see that particular one. If I go against every fiber in my body and see this because you recommended it you do realize if I hate it I will be after you.
It helps establish a collective universe. It isn't absolutely necessary but it definitely helps.
Under the Red Hood is better than the majority of Marvel's live action films. This shit is so good it's ridiculous and it's ironic because it has neither Conroy nor Hamill. As Rob pointed out, Crisis On Infinite Earths and Wonder Woman are dope. While Apocalypse is enjoyable, Public Enemies is much more fun. There's also Year One, The New Frontier, etc. Hell, they just put out a two and a half hour movie in The Dark Knight Returns. Marvel has nothing that even compares.
Stop posting and go watch the film immediately. It's on Netflix and in most Red Boxes.
You also just said in another thread that you liked the remake Halloween films. This kinda stuff could land you in prison. I hope I don't like it so I can commit my life to beating up robtard in a mcdonald's with a Thanos shirt and a Voldemort robe on as I do so.
I do enjoy the board; just not your input. Stop being such an enormous troll, then we'll talk. I know, you like to get a rise out of people, but that doesn't make you look funny or clever. It just makes you look like a dick.
That might seem harsh, but maybe if you relaxed a little and weren't so intent on stirring up trouble, you might enjoy the forum more.

Under The Red Hood is a better animated movie than anything Marvel has put out. Marvel animation is lacking behind; it's as much common sense as DC lagging behind in live action pictures.
I watched it. It was good but not great. Of course Batman is a chump and the Joker lived. Turned his back on him for some self righteous moral code. I bet you have a McFlurry in one hand and a large smoothie in the other right now. You put this picture up far too often.
You will call someone a liar but then chastise me for doing so. You will let Superman fans troll Thor fans all over your board but when pic of Superman failing to stop machine gun fire you went into commando mode. I am comfortable here outside your presence. I like a relaxed board not someone who is looking to press certain posters while letting others run wild.
