Saw this last night. Very long.
I've not read the graphic novel but I'm thinking it's more for the fans of the book than your average popcorn superhero film.
There were some awesome moments in and I have to say Malin Akkerman was very very , especially when she gets naked

Torquemada

I can't wait to see this . It's actually quite sad how excited I am

EddScott

They cut quite alot out to get it under a certain running time. Hopefully a directors cut will be released with the rest.

I can't wait to see it either, I re-read the book a couple of Sundays ago - started a 4pm and finished just before midnight.

Without spoilers I'd like to know if the "big change" they made between the book and film actually works - if you know both you'll know what I mean.

The wife has agreed to look after a relatives twins next weekend so I'm going to make myself scarce and go watch the film.

Looking forward to seeing it though

You just made me Google her Stumbled on a clip from a Ben Stiller film she was in called The Heartbeak Kid 'Jack-hammer me'

Not seen Watchmen yet, might try and get there next week. I dunno though, most of the recent action, and certainly the comic-book movies have left me cold. I must be growing out of the market I am nearly 40

Watched it last night, I'd not read the book before but I thought it was an awesome film. Can't wait for the Blu-Ray!

I'm looking forward to this. The novel is one of my all-time favourite books.

delcbr

work m8 watched it said it was crap one of them ones do istay till the end or do i walk out half way through.......from what i seen on jonathon ross film 2009 it looked pish well overhyped.

The Chief

Alan Moore who i have to say is probably one of the most gifted if not the most gifted comic writers we have ever seen said it would not work on the big screen and had nothing to do with the film whatsoever.

I used to follow his work when he did V for Vendetta, and Captain Britain.
He is one of the most ecentric people going, very different, very political but a writing genius.

Had no prior knowledge of the comic book.

Suspect the film has been "watered down".

Kinda liked it though: a superhero tale with ***** and where the protagonists are every bit as human as the humans - hence their problems.

It was interesting and well done

BUT.......

It just wasn't very exciting (a fatal flaw for a superhero tale) and, I suspect, not as subtle/clever as Alan Moore would have hoped for. I think he was right, it wasn't big screen material!

Worth a look, just don't expect too much!

Like Moore I won't be watching the film.

Well I've been to see it tonight and I thought it was fookin' brilliant. Could have done with another forty minutes worth of character development for the common New Yorkers obliterated near the end, in order that the viewer cared about the deaths. Excellent, though.

finalzero

Aye, I like how the characters were like early templates for the characters we know and love now (if you're a marvel fan).

I won't spoil it by saying names as it's too easy to do but I find the film a bit odd ball in places but I think thats how its meant to be, reflecting the time it was created in (Vietnam war, hippies etc).

Btw some brilliant musical scores in the movie

Bubba po

Have you read the Graphic Novel, finalzero? I must say, I can't see how Zack Snyder could possibly have made the film more true to the book, without making it twice as long. Superb effort.

finalzero

Not yet but I intend to get a hold of the grapic novel as I have a few of em on my shelf (Batman, Hulk, Superman etc)

Watching it now, amazing special effects VERY long and VERY violent in a non-cartoon yet VERY cartoon way (if you get mt drift)

Torquemada

Yep, good stuff isn't it
I like the movie and the gn for different reasons though

Glad you're enjoying!

the blue bloke and the fit bird are on Mars at the moment, haven't a clue whether I'm near the end yet or not!!

Torquemada

Well, what happens next is.....

Watched this film last night, pure ****e. Even Titanic2 was a better film.

Torquemada

in your humble opinion. pmsl

Jamz3k

I'm near sure you could quote me on this as HARD FACT.

corradoboy

I gave this a whirl a few months back. RUBBISH !

tony de wonderful

It was a bit of a mess to be fair apart from that fit bird.

Jamz3k

she was rather good, to be fair to the film it didn't get the best start from me. My Pioneer blu-ray player wouldn't read the disc properly so I had to update software etc....and it still wouldn't work. Ended up having to bring the blu-ray player from the bedroom down and use it(5star reviewed blu-ray player bettered by one less than half its price).

Blu-ray players are feckin bollocks too.

Just put on Lethal Weapon and then turned it straight off again another pure **** movie.

Torquemada

Nope, you're just wrong. fact.
