The Watchmen
the ghost:
I was impressed with the "book" and I'm really just hoping for an accurate movie. So far from what I've seen it seems they are really trying to be faithful to the original which is a good thing. I think its a good "hero" story in that really only 1 has any special powers to speak of. We have had so many movies lately with all kinds of different superheros, and most of the dudes are regular guys, and gals. Here's hoping it's half a good as the comic:)

I saw a trailer in the summer that looked wicked, so I went and got the book.. I dont see how it'l translate onto the big screen
but who knows, ill light up a spliff and go see it in imax.. im sure it'l be entertaining
LeftCoaster22:
Watchmen just had it's world premiere in London... and the reviews were very mixed!
Robbie Collin of News of the World had nothing but negativity towards the film..."This two-and-a-half-hour wannabe pop culture epic isn't the worst superhero movie ever made ... But it is one of the most spirit-crushingly disappointing."

Regardless of what the critics are saying... I still want to see it!

Read the comics. It is far and away the best thing to ever come out of the comic world. So good that it's the only book that ever gets mentioned in best novel lists.
Alan Moore has said it was never meant to be a film and even wrote the story with that mind. Watchmen was written not to show that you can make a great movie or novel, but written to show what you can do with comics that cannot be done in film or literature. It's a fucking masterpiece.
That being said I don't look forward to the film at all. I really believe that the best thing about it will end up being the Smashing Pumpkins song in the trailer.

im not a comics guy at all so its not really targeted towards me so its all good. to me even the costumes just look goofy though,like some adam west batman type ish....i dunno maybe that the intention????......

But it is targeted towards you. No self respecting fan of the comic is anticipating this film or expects it to be anything better than average.
When I say read the comic. I don't say that to comic book fans. I say that to fans of great storytelling. It's the kind of book that could be used in a University literature class. The type that takes a few reads to fully understand.
