    The crap?

    Do you plan on watching the film? Do you know anything about Watchmen? Are you familiar with the comic book, if I may ask? Are you posting to increase your post count?

    C'mon, I'm pretty sure you can type something that states your opinion! The DVD won't even come yet in months or within a year.

    x_x;;

    Anyways, no sweat. I'm really excited to seeing Watchmen with my friends this evening. I like how the heroes are just regular people with actual problems of their own, although, Dr.Manhattan is an exception. As for the guy behind the characters' problems, I wasn't expecting it to be him. Whoever read the comic book among TFF may know what I'm talking about.

    BTW, check this out. Saturday Morning Watchmen

    Precisely the reason why Watchmen is so awesome. That twist ending really closes an in-depth mystery with a bang. Even now, the fact that you realize the culprit right as it gets revealed makes it all the more worthwhile. Have to see if that specific part gets "translated" with precision in the movie.

    Pester me on the Giant in the Playground Forums if you really need me.

    The Final Boss Theorem:
    The size of the ultimate form of the final boss is inversely proportional to it's chances of actually beating your party. If you agree with this, please copy and paste this valuable piece of info on your sig. AND, if you're evil and villainous...never settle for a big form when a smaller form is more kickass...

    Haha, I sorta laughed when he said that he wasn't inclined to reveal his plan to his pursuers like a cliche comic book villain. That's the right way of doing it! Although, the characters are neither good or evil. All of them have their way own way of perceiving humanity and right and wrong.

    I watched the movie last night at around 7 o' clock. It lasted about 3 hours, man it was long, but well worth getting the butt sores. The movie pretty much summed up the entire storyline except a few important parts that were left out. One of my friends hated it, haha, I have yet to hear why she didn't like it. Watchmen is multi-layered. IMO, I don't think a person can fully understand it without familiarizing with the comic book. That's where the movie fell short, other than the constant transition of music and the weird song that played in the sex scene in Nite Owl's Archimedes. There were bits and pieces that didn't get a chance to breathe until the end where everything made sense. If Zack Snyder was able to cover everything, the movie might have lasted 2+ hours from the original running time. He did a great job and stayed faithful.

    Overall, the film was awesome! The action was really cool, but there were times where it was unrealistic and gruesome. Haha, it left my friends and I cringing in pain and cursing under our breathes. The movie was as stylized as the comic.
