I might go see this, but I didn't really like "300" that much.
|
I didn't like 300 too much either, but I found this movie much better.
|
I enjoyed the movie it was entertaining. Opening night was not as crazy as I thought it was.

Hello gentlemen. This is my first post on the forums. You may remember me as that goofball who made that godawful Deus Ex page.
Pleasantries aside, I loved this movie. Brilliant editing, perfect sound. |
I haven't read Watchmen yet (I've been meaning to but haven't been able to buy a copy) but I'm going to pick up a copy next week. I like Alan Moore's works, they're very interesting.

I saw it a few weeks back. It was kind of disappointing to me, though I can't really put my finger on why. The only interesting characters were Rorschach and the Comedian, the rest (Silk Specter included) just seemed bland and I couldn't really connect with them.
|
I had never read a graphic novel before but after seeing Watchmen I went out and bought the novel and finished it in a couple days I thought it was great (and I even went into the movie not expecting much).
|
I saw it completely blind, having not read the graphic novel (although I have many others), not watched any trailers (I never watch trailers), and deliberately knowing absolutely nothing about it. This is pretty much how I try and approach all the movies I see.
And.... I really, really enjoyed it. I think knowing nothing whatsoever in advance meant I could treat it much more as a film in its own right, and while I appreciate there's stacks of backstory and detail that I've still to see (which means I have the joy of reading the GN now having seen the film) I nevertheless fully enjoyed the movie. Primarily I liked it because it so strongly defied so many comic-book conventions, the usual roles of bad guys and good guys, happy endings, crises always averted, reasons and rationale, all of it got completely turned upside-down in the film and I found it very refreshing. I look forward to watching it again on DVD and reading the graphic novel to complete the experience. |
I saw one of those concept art and behind the scene kind of books for the movie and I saw a bigger view of the Comedian's closet full of guns
