[Movie] Watchmen

YouTube - Nuevo Trailer "los vigilantes"

Hopefully it isn't taken down too quickly.

So do you think it will suck? Or will it be a masterpiece? Or will it be OK?

Things that irked me: a little over-stylized, Ozymandias looks like the pussiest motherfucker in the world, and Rorschach doesn't sound like enough of a serial killing hobo to me.

I liked Dr. Manhattan though he lookin fresh

New, better link

How ya doing, buddy?

I have mixed feelings. I feel that a lot of the graphic novel was lost through the continuous nature of film. I liked the feeling of being in a different chapter that explores a different theme, and I don't think that comes through very much in the film. I also didn't think the stylized action was very appropriate. It kind of worked in the opening since the "mask killer" is supposed to be just a bit better than just a normal guy, but other scenes (like the alley scene or the prison fight) left kind of a bad taste, what with Nite Owl and Spectre smirking at each other every few seconds. Also, I don't see how someone who didn't read the comic could understand anything at all - Bubastis is sort of just thrown in, Dr. Manhattan is for some reason making huge structures out of Mars dirt - I just feel like the comic drags you into its world more easily because of how gradual everything is explained. Also the movie was so long. Also I guess I don't have mixed feelings about it, I just didn't like it very much.

edit: Also, Nixon's nose.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
