Watchmen is OUT!!!!!

[bankymedic]

Can't believe Watchmen:) is out. Who all is as excited as I am? Has any one seen it yet?

[flashtestmanalive]

I've seen it.

[flashtestmanalive]

heh, weird. Flash posting in a thread GL started.

[monstr.squad]

I just saw it, and it's AMAZING! It's so similar to the Graphic Novel, it's crazy. The ending was changed, but i thought it was a really good way to end the story. And still... Rorschach is a badass. :)

[stardom]

MOVIE WAS ABSOLUTELY SICK!!!!!!!! I will watch it again and probly again, I thought it was perfect and to squeeze all the book into movie was a task in itself but was definately well done :D:D:D

[Comicaze]

Movie really good. Took some things out. Necessary though. Time constraints.

[monstr.squad]

I agree with both of you!

[Pumpkin King]

I am going today

[Run L1ke H3LL]

Rorschach impersonation.

[DarthIndianaBond]

I'll go see it right after I'm done with the novel. But it looks really good!

[Comicaze]

The DVD that came out on tuesday is very good, did any one see it? Very very good. Word for word the graphic novel, only animated. The only problem is the male narrator does all the female voices too so it makes them sounds like transvestites. I about lost it when The Comedians' vietnamese girlfriend spoke.

I haven't even heard of it! But it sounds really funny! Anyone have a YouTube clip or something?

[MuggyDeadpool]

Saw it last night night and it was great. Very true to the book. I disagree with the statement that the ending was 'changed,' I would prefer to say that it was 'tweaked.' I mean all of the content of the novel ending was there but it was structured differently. Well except for no giant squid. I give and A. :)

[fanboy]

i'm very excited. i'm going at 4:30 today. i'm hoping it won't be too busy and not full of high school kids puking in the aisle. (bad experience at friday the 13th)

[xSVx IRON MAN]

Saw it last night and wow its quite an accomplishment. I have never read the novel but I think it was just an amazing movie. Its hits on so many cylinders best comic book movie ever better then Iron Man better then the Dark Knight. Just what a movie was speechless half way threw.

[Pumpkin King]

Going tomorrow instead, damn one more day...

FINALLY! Somebody says it! I think i agree with you, my friend.

[Pumpkin King]

Every critic and the general population is going to compare any comic based movie to Dark Knight now. Which is too bad, cause DK was not that great overall. Watchmen, for most non comic fans, are not going to get it.

totally agree. Dark Knight was a good drama but that's about it. Not saying it wasn't fantastic but it's a shame that comic movies will be compared to it for a long time...

[Pumpkin King]

DK was good indeed. But great? No. It tried really hard to be a smart movie.

[Cyberscream]

Going tomorrow instead, damn one more day...
Same here. Really excited.

[Green Eggs and Death]

Nothin' wrong with critics or anyone else comparing comic book movies to The Dark Knight, 'cause at least they're starting to take them semi-seriously now ... not that they had any real reason to before. There is plenty of room for the "Fun" comic book movies like Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men and the previous Batman/Superman films and the "Serious" comic book movies like Batman Begins/The Dark Knight and The Watchmen. Frankly, I'm just glad to get them at all.

For myself, I finally went down to Borders and picked up The Watchmen graphic novel. Had a 30% off coupon so it was only $14. I don't know if I'll make it to the movie, but we'll see. Glad to hear that it is done well. :D

I agree. People who have no idea that it's even a comic book will take one look at rorschach's mask, or doc manhattan's blue penis and be like... "this is ridiculous! ahhhh! wahhh wahhhh, blahhh blahhhhh!" (which translates to... "i'm a MORON!")

Not to mention, i guarantee most of them will complain about how long it is as well. Just a guess.

What? His penis? :)

[Comicaze]

Dr Manhattans 30 ft electric blue penis.

[Pumpkin King]

Imagine the....no nevermind

[DarthIndianaBond]

What? His penis? :)

That's exactly what I was thinking when I first read it!

[flashtestmanalive]

yeah, you see his dong pretty much in every scene he's in.

[flashtestmanalive]

and I don't mean the book either. I mean in the movie.

His big blue bomber is in it. A lot.

You'll see. ;)

[Pumpkin King]

gross......

[monstr.squad]

Hahaha, i really didn't think they'd put it in the movie, but i was wrong. I think it's so awesome how true they stayed to the book.

[J.Lantern Corps]

Seen it twice now and my final say is Watchmen is the best comic book movie ever made, everything stays true to the comic and the new ending fit in perfect, I plan on seeing it again Sunday and any other time I have the chance. :)

[bankymedic]

Haven't seen it yet. Think I'm going tomorrow to an early show. That's awesome that it sounds like it stayed true to the comic. I did pick up a DC Direct Dr. Manhattan & Rorschach from TRU earlier today, and I have to say they are freakin' sweet!! That would be awesome if they made the Mighty Muggs of the Watchmen!!:D

[J.Lantern Corps]

^^ I have all the DC Direct figures and they are all sweet i suggest picking them up if they are in the budget and Watchmen Mighty Muggs would be a dream come true!!!

[bankymedic]

Yeah, the DC Direct are freakin' dead on, but man they're like $17 a piece. I'll eventually get all of them. Watchmen Muggs would be the absolute shizzle. I've seen some customs and there is so much you could do with all the characters.:p

[J.Lantern Corps]

Yeah i'm actually having my buddy (Monster Squad Customz) make me a full Watchmen mugg set and i'm excited to see what he does with the characters :)

[bankymedic]

I saw his Rorschach with the removable mask. That one is too cool for skool. Would love to see a good comedian or Nite-Owl.:D

[Cyberscream]

Just got back from the theater. All I can say is, wow. It was really good. Different, but good. I think the changes were needed to make it believable. Dr. M's super wacker was kinda odd though. lol. All the parts were good though. Silk was hot. And it was just, good. All I can say. I just hope the little 9 year old hero fans don't think its, ya know. :p I would rate it a 3/5

3/5? are you joking? it was definitely a 4, quite possibly a 5

[Cyberscream]

Yea your right. 4/5

[F1SHCUSTOMS]

Alot of reviewers are saying this movie is the shits.....Was it?

[Cyberscream]

Man, never listen to the critics. Their way too hard core. The movie was awesome, period.

[monstr.squad]

Everybody always listens to the critics. They're idiots. They don't understand comic book movies, so they say they all suck. Find shit out for yourself!!

[Pumpkin King]

Saw it tonight, I liked it very much. I would see it again. The changed ending worked well, not sure what I thought of that in general though. And, I think they could have not shown the dong as much....it was distracting.

I give it a A-

[Marker]

Just got back from it.

I really liked it, I would see it again in theaters. I WILL get the DVD/Blu-Ray when it's out.

Like Pumpkin King, A-.

[Pumpkin King]

The DVD is going to be HUGE! They are adding "Black Freighter" and "Under the hood" cut into the film. Lokking for a run time of almost 4 hrs.

Really? That is so awesome. But I doubt it would make it an hour more.

I heard the Director's Cut was going to be around 5 & 1/2 hours.

[HalfSwiss]

Best movie ever.

I agree should have covered the blue mans junk, but this movie was amazing.
I'm seeing it again soon, destroys all other hero movies by far!!!

[Cyberscream]

lol not a big surprise: http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.ap.org/watchmen-conquers-box-office-with-557-million-ap

[Pumpkin King]

Going to see it again later this week

[Kire von Banhammer]

^cant get enough of that Dr. Manhattan, huh?

[Pumpkin King]

Why didn't you add that to your custom Mugg?

[Kire von Banhammer]

^ I didnt have enough sculpey :(

[Sycoo]

im gonna go see it tuesday hopefully. if i like it i will prolly make a dr manhattan minus the penis cuz like kire i dont have enough sculpey for that nonsense

[Pumpkin King]

Maybe skip the Mugg and just sculpt his huge dong?

[danielblester]

idk how i felt about the movie like it was good but there were some problems i had with it, things that if i didnt already know the story would have been confusing, but oh well.... a friend did tell me that they took an hour out of the movie and they will be releasing an extended edition of the movie... but over all i thought it was a good adaptation of the graphic novel, i was very happy with the characters i have to say they nailed each one. ill be extremely happy if they really do release an extended edition, my friend told me that the reason why they cut out an hour out was because of the WB / Fox lawsuit that was going on. he got this information from his brother that works in the industry... so i am hoping that it is true

[flashtestmanalive]

here's my new Watchmen custom!

yay!! http://mightymuggsforum.com/showthread.php?t=6295

[Green Eggs and Death]

I strongly suspect the reason they cut an hour out of the movie had little or nothing to do with the lawsuit and more to do with the fact that it's just too much to ask moviegoers to sit there for 3 1/2 hours, not to mention the fact that theaters make less money the longer a movie is. ;)

As much as I enjoyed The Dark Knight last year, even the length of that film was pushin' it, and I found myself movin' around in my seat the last half hour or so ... and, no, it had nothing to do with the Mr. Pibb I drank. :eek:;) I enjoy long movies, as I've always felt that I "get my money's worth" with one (unless it sucks, of course), but there IS a limit. Luckily, we have DVDs and Blu-Rays to give us "the rest of the story." :D

Anyway, now that I've finished the graphic novel, I'm gonna have to find someone to see the film with.

[Pumpkin King]

Find someone to go see it with? Bah!

I went by myself, not a big deal. :)

[Green Eggs and Death]

Forget it. I went to see a couple of movies (in the same night) by myself once ... once. I'm not doing that again. It sucks. I know people that prefer that. Not me. To each his own. ;)

[Pumpkin King]

We have two girls (3 and 8 yrs) so it makes it difficult for us both to go. Finding a babysitter is near impossible these days.
I only go to the movies if there is something I REALLY wanna see. Last three films I saw were Watchmen, Star Wars The Clone Wars and Hellboy 2. That should give you an idea of how often I get to go. :) I know you have kids too.

[Green Eggs and Death]

Yep, it's 'bout the same. Just about our only "baby"sitters anymore are Mrs. Eggs' parents. Her two sis's and my brother used to watch our kids (if we asked them, which we didn't too often), but one sis and my bro up went and had their own babies last august and the other sis moved to Dallas. Damned inconsiderate of them, if you ask me.

I THINK the last movie I went to in the theater was The Dark Knight, unless The Clone Wars came out after that. Only Mrs. Eggs and I saw The Dark Knight, but The Clone Wars was good for the family. Mrs. Eggs took the boys to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua ... I bowed out of that one, thank goodness. I don't think Mrs. Eggs would either be interested in or understand The Watchmen, so I may end up goin' alone after all. We'll see.

[Pumpkin King]

My 8 yr old loves Beverly Hills Chihuahua ...I can't do it. Lucky for us my sister took her...twice.
