WATCHMEN (movie) - 2009

Fuck, I'm so hyped up for this movie. No words can describe as to how awesome it is

This is so exciting to the point that this would be the first movie I'd watch in an IMAX screen for this year. Boy I can't wait

I'm pretty hyped up for this too. I'll probably see it with my friend who is going too. Don't know when that will be though.

I want to see this as well.

Agreed.

It is a supermovie hero movie (which sells big in the box office and is a driver in the movie industry).........but this movie takes the superhero genre to a different level. This time it focuses on having a multi-layered plot that is just filled with complexity as well as it focusing on the human aspect of those superheroes which later devolves into symbolisms as well as moral and ethical archetypes.

That and Rorschach is fucking cool (even in the trailer)
"The world will look up and shout: SAVE US. And I'll whisper, NO!!!!"

I'm still debating as to if I should even be into this. On the one hand, it looks like a hypercool alternative superhero film. On the other hand, something about it gives me the feeling that I'll look into it and regret it like I always do. I can't explain why but I simultaneously want to and don't want to watch this movie.

Well judging from the reviews I've read, it seems that the Watchmen movie is really solid and groundbreaking. In short, if you liked and/or enjoyed 300, then you will definitely enjoy this one as well. It looks like Zack Snyder has created lots of hype for this new film and from the looks of it, it indeed delivers.

Boy I can't wait to see this flick tomorrow

P.S.
Btw, the "Science of Watchmen"

Went to it last night. Fucking awesome.

Saw an advanced screening on Tuesday and loved it. One of the sex scenes was WAAAAAAAAAAY too drawn out though. Like, everyone in the theater was like "GET ON WITH IT."

Also, lots of blue celestial penis. It wasn't crude or anything, but just a heads up for anyone who hasn't read the graphic novel, be prepared for it.

I"m not locked in here with you you're locked in here with me etc etc

Badassed.

deathrazor · 03-06-2009, 01:52 PM

Yeah that was an awesome line.

So I hear there's dick.

**helix eternal** · 03-06-2009, 09:21 PM

It was good, but I wasn't particularly impressed by anything. Good blood & gore and whatnot. For some reason, I just thought it could have been better, somehow. I'm not quite sure how to explain it. Too predictable and I wasn't a big fan of the 300-esque action scenes. I'd give it a 7/10.

My dad & I might go see it when it's the discount movie of the week. Haven't read the comic/graphic novel & the copy at my library has 4 holds on it, so it could be MONTHS until I'd get their copy.

I read online that someone saw parents who brought their kid that "couldn't be older than 4 years old" to see the movie. & another who said a baby sitting in the seat in front of him.

Man, all I've been hearing about the movie is VERY mixed reviews. People either loved it or hated it....

Loveless!! · 03-07-2009, 11:24 PM

i'm still on the fence on whether or not i want to see this
