Bloodstain Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I thought it was particularly bad when they played the Space Odyssey music when Dr. Manhatten was killing people in Vietnam. You mean Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, right? I thought it was more of a nod to Apocalypse Now than anything, plus I believe the whole saddest song ever story from Mason's Under the Hood was ride of the Valkyries, although I could be wrong This movie needed to be 6 hours :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely fun tbh. And i really do wish they could have made just the comic all over again and made it super long. Theres Lord of the Rings and Star Wars afterall!...even thought i've never seen either. lolz.

Harakiri Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Now, its time to get to the "Blue Penis" thing and what I think of it. It shows we are all a bunch of homophobes. We apparently cannot accept the fact that over half the population of the world has one, which reviewers apparently cannot figure out. Half the population of the world has a Blue Penis? You know what I mean. :lol: I don't know, I didn't pay enough attention to the acting really to notice every little slip up. I thought they were all alright, nothing spectacular, but they convinced me enough (probably because I base my movie reviews mostly on the overall experience of the movie, not pick it apart for every little problem till it's nothing but bare bones).

Baconxl Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 I don't see where you're going with the Bubastis thing...she was in the book why wouldn't she be in the movie? In the book she is killed as well as in the movie, it wasn't put in for your sympathy, it was put in because it was in the book. From what I recall, she was a prototype for the squid that attacked New York. Why would you put a prototype for the squid if you don't even have a squid in this movie? (Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I recall from the comic, I'm probably wrong about the prototype thing, but I know she had something to do with the squid). Nope, just genetically engineered I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Adam Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I don't think Snyder or Watchmen itself is big enough for a huge complete ed. The Lord of the Rings was something that anyone who's read any Fantasy probably knows. Star Wars Episode IV worked well enough on it's own - so well that it could make a 'stellar' (see what I did there?) sequel or 5. Acting I thought worked overall, Comedian did OK, but not really good. Dan Dreiburg was played well enough, he could have been better, but he didn't fully get it. Silk Spectre II oof. Dr. Manhattan caught the apathetic thing pretty well, and if his voice was lower, he would've been more serious-sounding (and look at his eyes - the eyebrows are pretty much always relaxed = mellow) Rorschach was overrated on his performance, I thought. Maybe it's because I thought it weird to see his costume on screen... Adrian Veidt I hated since I first saw him in the ads. I knew he was going to suck once I saw his costume. I was right.

Harakiri Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I hated the scene where Rorschach fought the police because it looked so cheesy. I mean, some cheesy is good, but this is Watchmen, not some 70's action movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstain Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Adrian Veidt I hated since I first saw him in the ads. I knew he was going to suck once I saw his costume. I was right. He is humble though He said: The negative feedback is relayed by my friends. I think the fanboys arent particularly happy there are a load of people theyd have rather had in before me. Its already being slated before theyve seeing anything. But if fanboys still hate the film after going and seeing it, they can all line up and s*** my d***. I dont give a f***. Matthew added: Im having a child and thats more important to me so I dont give a f***. Grow a d***. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sh ... 278955.ece So since you're having a kid it's okay for you to suck at acting? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baconxl Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 He has a point...people are passing judgement before they even see the movie. People who base their opinions off solely how the ads portray him without seeing the movie should "s*** [his] d***." Also, child > movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta agree though that if you haven't seen the movie you can't automatically point to him and say he's gonna suck. Did he say "Dookie his Penis" (Thats the nicer version)? How do you do that? :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baconxl Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Dude...what? I'll try to give that grammatical disaster a shot I guess, I didn't think he did a terrible job as Veidt, could've been better I suppose but not as bad as Akerman did. Saying he was bad from the previews just based off his costume is ridiculously stupid, sure it was a little lame maybe and a lot different from how it was in the book but it wasn't that bad and it's a pretty stupidly unimportant thing to complain about.

You realise Watchmen was a "graphic novel" before it was adapted to film. Anyway, it was much better than I expected, they cut about 10% of the original material out, but that was useless anyway. A few of my friends who hadn't read the book were like "I don't get it" at the end. Faithful adaptation, Alan quit your [bleep]ing you elitist. Worse than the fanboys. I though Rorschach would be taller. Good choice for Walter Kovacs as Jackie Earle Haley. Silk Spectre was hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baconxl Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 In the book when Rorschach get captured they say he's wearing platform shoes or something which implies that he's shorter and they also refer to him as "runt".

i_love_burritos Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'm talking of Sally Jupiter not Laurie Jupiter. That is Silk Spectre and not her mother. She was in Sin City. Carla Gugino was Lucille in Sin City. Look harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
