Wow! I kinda liked the movie. I thought it's major drawback was too much blue moby. Should I buy the Blu-Ray now or wait for the special edition director's cut whatever?

Man I wish I was goin to SDCC but alas my job prevents me that and my wife would never go for it. As far as posts I will be deeply depressed all day monday and going through withdrawl.

Brilliant. I'm still waiting for the 4 hour version!

Robo-Rorschach ftw!

So does anyone know if the huge super delux version of the movie, has a version without the black freighter in it? I would like to watch that version but do not see my wife sitting through it.

It wasn't a total wreck at the box office. It broke $100M in the U.S. and $75M internationally. Not great numbers for a film with that kind of budget, but it's going to turn a decent profit from all these DVD's.

Speaking of which, I'm waiting for the ultimate version later this year. I may put it on my Netflix queue but I'm not buying 2 versions of this movie.

The strange thing is I can't tell if the people who made this either hated the movie or somewhat liked it. But it's pretty damn funny just seeing Alan Moore trying to take revenge on humanity, so, make what you will of that.

Nice. Best part is the "Eyes Wide Shut" background porno music... classy, mysterious, laughable.

i can just see Alan finding the video enjoyable given how he felt about a watchman film. and love how the video ends like watchman ends in the comics. though i doubt roarshache would have sent his journal to nickie

"And he filmed it...in slow motion...IT'S IN THERE!"

Priceless.

When you said Snake God, I thought you meant David Hayter (voice of Solid Snake in MGS and one of the writers of the Watchmen script).

Hate to break-it to all the Watchmen fanboys, but the movie was crap because the source material is crap.

To say Alan Moore is overrated is to say that he has any talent whatsoever that can be exaggerated...which just isn't true. He's a masochist who sees no redeeming qualities in humnaity because he himself has no redeeming qualitites.

I thought Watchmen rocked. I loved the book and loved the film. I'm buying the pscyho uber-extended version in December as well.

So I hate to break-it to "Dave", but a lot of us fanboys loved the film.

Endroren, that's what makes you a fanboy: a complete lack of rational, logical thinking...or taste for that matter.

Well Dave we all no that Alan Moore hates himslef as well as the world as was obvious throught the movie. I can't help but wonder if you were on of the people who sat down expecting a three hour all out action flick. Because it was a superhero movie. Fact is I enjoyed the movie immensly and hadn't read the book, I actually went out and read it after the fact and enjoyed it for what it was. A great story pointing out the flaws of humanity and the possibilties of what if. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it but a lot of people did and it doesn't make anyone a lesser person for it.

I still haven't read the source material (beyond the first chapter) and I really enjoyed this movie in the cinema.

To be honest, I think it's one of the better superhero pictures and I don't get the hate for it.

first off didnt the guy playing alan moore remind you of a certain christian bale character? yeah

and secondly at dave, alan moore may hate humanity and find no sole redeeming qualities within it but most of his work is actually good aside from the similarities they bear to each other mainly the hatred they all have towards humanity. but with that in mind it gives a new twist on comics instead of it always about the good in us it focuses on teh bad

The hate for it (being the film) is *somewhat* unjust, in that said hate should be directed at the *cough* "Director." If only his level of talent matched the size of his ego, as Alan Moore's almost does; oh, what could have been....

Alan Moore...not overrated? Then the sun sure don't rise and shine every day then.
