I loved it.
It started a little slowish and the dialog was a bit overdone/hammy, but the fight scenes and visuals were a bunch of fun! Two things I wished would have been different: SPOILER white, lol 1. Spear at the end should have went through xerxes mouth, like the wolf. 2. When the captains son is beheaded, they should have had a blood fountain...even IRL AFAIK the blood will shoot up pretty good. I almost charfed when that leper licked the oracle though...nasty |

Watchmen is utter genius. It's probably the only graphic novel that could go toe-to-toe with most other "serious" works in western literature. It's far and away Moore's magnum opus. Although I don't want to give too much away, I remember being totally enthralled during my first reading. |

I really liked the movie. But my brother said he didn't like it at all. He's kinda a history freak and said it was not accurate to the real events that actually took place. I haven't seen the movie yet, but i can't wait. I'm tempted to go see it on IMAX, but a good theater w/ huge screens is 5 minutes away, IMAX is 1/2 hour. Is it worth it for IMAX? i bet it's intense. IMo, the sound of IMAX theater's is more impressive than the screen. INSANE[thumbup] |

what adaptaion movies from Alan Moore have been made? I've heard of the Watchman and that it's good, but have never read them. Alan Moore has never been involved with any of the films made though. He has always had his name removed from the films in question, and not been a part of the creative process. At first he thought it would be a good idea to sit back, get some money out of it, and by removing his name from the film it would remove the original comic work by association. However after having been less than impressed by the films made so far, and a legal dispute over League of Ext. Gentlemen, he now refuses to allow any comic he owns the full licence on to be made into a film. Watchmen will be the next Moore work to be made into a film, and I'd highly recommend that people read it before the release as it is just amazing. Its one of the best books I've ever read, comic or otherwise, and I don't think a 150 minute movie will do the original work justice, let alone the story telling technique employed in the book which will be hard to transfer to the big screen. |

In April 2005, film writer and director Darren Aronofsky revealed in an interview that singer David Bowie was at one point working on a rock opera adaptation of Watchmen. OMG now that is appalling [shocked] (From the wiki) |

Christ almighty!! [rofl] *edit* also I fixed my initial post....not that it will do much good since the two people who pointed out the error of my ways managed to copy the entire spoiler not once BUT TWICE. Personally I think just the title itself should be a spoiler warning. This is a discussion forum, to discuss the movie, it you want a thumbs up with nothing more, there are plenty of movie review sites.... |

I don't see how it will even come close. I fully expect a butchery of a masterwork [no] |

*Spoilers* ???
Did anyone notice how everybody in the movie is effing ripped? Holy crap, on some of the scenes where the army was marching along all you saw were the abs sticking out and their pecs shinning. Must have gone through a lot of preparation to look like that, on one of the scenes the girls in the theater squeaked when the main guy pushed that wooden door open and his back muscles popped out. I'm a guy and like lifting a lot, but these guys just look insane. |
