Never ever see Watchmen.
For the love of god stay the fuck away.
The acting is terrible. The highlight of the film is the opening scene, after that it is just an odd display from Zack Snyder of over slow motion and another annoyingly awkward sex scene. The meaning of the film was rushed. The most interesting part was when my friends and I were trying to figure out if Dr. Manhattan was circumcised…
I will rip this apart even more when I read the graphic novel…

I was partially a victim of fanboy hype going in, but I thought the movie had its merits. True, it's all Zakk Snyder-y with the slow-mo, but I thought the film, at the very least, was an enjoyable experience. I have a hard time pinning the validity of the movie on the acting alone, especially considering that the characters themselves are meant to be caricatures of comic book archetypes. The film did feel rushed towards the end, but that's likely because a sprawling graphic novel like the Watchmen just can't fit into a movie, even if it is nearly 3 hours.
ReplyDeleteJust my two cents.
No, I agree. When I read the novel I will feel better about making claims. But rushing such a detailed story (that could be several movies long) out to make only one movie seems more for money rather than telling the story.
ReplyDeleteThe movie pretty much sucked from all aspects. The actors are supposed to be archetypes, but even in regular scenes where they were talking to each other regularly, they acted awkward and unrealistic. And what's up with Manhattan being a little bitch? That voice is certainly not the voice of someone who knows everything about the universe, and we can't use puberty as an excuse, judging from his meat stick. It also wouldn't be so damn long if half of it wasn't in slow motion. People actually fucking laughed when Rorschach talked. "I AM FUCKING BATMAN!"
ReplyDeleteMovie sucked, besides being upset about all the shit they left out, it wasn't entertaining. Plus, the original Silk Spectre, that old bitch wasn't even that old! She looked like they put a wig and some wrinkles on a 30 year old! Fuck this shit, I'm gonna go suck a dick in rage.
Oh Steve you have such a way with words...
