Watchmen

[southeastastra]

are excited about this!

It was indeed, Reality

If they hadn't had the newsvendor and the kid (although he looked more of a mature student!) embracing each other at the end I might have forgiven them, but that was a bit ???

But it's great news they filmed it, I will watch out for that, ta

Other teeny tiny quibble was that Bubastis wasn't really explained (if she was, I missed it!) and it was a bit 'where did that spring from?' when she did appeared at the end - it was almost like they went 'we can't fit in any more exposition but hey, we've spent the cash on the CGI, let's put it in there! Certainly my friends who hadn't read the book were a bit 'wtf?' over that.

Now I want to go and see it again!!

did appear

i am desperate to see this.
we were going to go and watch it at the Imax today but footy was on so didn't have time.
might try and convince him to see it this week, but its long and he'll noan he's tired after work.

whimp.

I saw this in Oz on Saturday. Definitely VMax cinemas needed - I suppose it is the same as IMax. Wonderful visually and excellent soundtrack. Spoiled for me by its silly certification of MA15 which meant that a horde of 6 -10 year olds in the charge of an adult were seeing a movie they couldn't understand and whose content was entirely unsuitable for them. They talked constantly, LOVED the rape scene and went for walkies towards the end.

Anyway, back to the film, very good indeed, and I don't even like its genre in principle, so had few expectations.

I did NOT like the endorsement of rape, really nasty. To reveal why would spoil it for you,

Should add that the sex and violence mean it needs an 18 rating. I only wish the Oz authorities had done the equivalent here.

have you all seen this?

i'm getting more and more sucked in

Seeing it this on Thursday - DH is excited because he is a big fan of the graphic novel - I'm excited because i luurrrve Jeffrey Dean Morgan..........papa Winchester is finally getting the career he deserves!

OMG OMG OMG! saw it last night with DH.. onyl read about 24 pages of the graphic... but OMG OMG... was already in lust love with JDM but damn!

Meridian - I know - that man can play a total bastard - but he is so fine - he just gets away with it (goes away to wonder if JDM got to keep the costume.......mmmmm I hope so )

I suppose Doc Manhattan wasn't too bad either!

the man wears 'blue' well - but for me it's all about The Comedian

annaje- lol ... I think I will be putting the dvd on my christmas list..

oh god - I hope we don't have to wait until christmas.....far to long a wait - do they not know about my crazy JDM crush. Still, at least he's back on Grey's for a while - even if it is a crap programme .

Just fun this thread...

DH and I came out with the most ridiculous grins on our faces. Bloody brilliant. Loved it loved it loved it.

The ending is ok but on deeper inspection does not make sense. Don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it but the whole point of the original ending is that the world comes together to face a common threat, thus ending the cold war. This cannot really be said of the ending in the film.

The DVD will be awesome with some vital missing scenes added back in, again don't want to say too much as might ruin it for those who haven't seen the film.

Am truly in lust with the Comedian.

Rorschach rocks

Ooop.."just found this thread..."

went with dh last Friday and we both enjoyed it, he is a devotee of the graphic novel so had things to pick and complain about

but I thought the opening sequence and the soundtrack alone were worth at least half the price of admission
It looked wonderful

I bought the soundtrack for DH's birthday... so I can steal it naturally.. but it must be said that we probably have half the tracks on various cds in the collection.

Ooooh soundtrack.. hadn't thought of that. Must add to Amazon wish list ....
