WATCHMEN movie...blimey!
Saw the Watchmen movie last night and both me and my mate came out really not knowing what to think! It is an amazing movie, very graphic but it did
go back and forth in time alot plus it's nearly 3hrs long!!!!!!
Anyone else seen it and what did you think?

I was bored after the credits, they were stupidly long! I think they were using the stills to fill in the gaps. It didn't work.
I've since read the comic book which is miles better. I'm not convinced it's film material really.

Yeah, tried to obtain it to watch with a mate last week after someone said it was good. Will maybe have to try a bit harder and get a copy.

I couldn't get over the naff super hero's which spoilt it for me but if you like the latest Batman movies they you will like this movie
but it was far far too long.

Blue Wang and the Timepiece Gang
As an alternate title, I heard somewhere.
I always did like the book a lot, so i found it easy enough to follow and pretty faithful, so I quite enjoyed it. But it is flawed, the middle bit
drags and they could have trimmed it a bit better.

I too came out the cinema not knowing what to think.
There were some great action sequences and most of the story line was good.
The side plot with Dr Manhattan was a bit weird, especially when they were on mars. To be honest I had never heard of the comic before hearing about
the film so maybe I would have understood it alot more if I had read it first.
For a mainstream film if they had just stuck to the plot of who was killing the super heros and missed out the whole meaning of life bit so it was cut
down to around 2 hours it would have worked. Im sure there were loads of people who loved the comic who are happy the film stayed faithful though.
I felt like I had woken up halfway through the film when it started, im guessing alot of the background is from the comics.
