Yes! Yes! Yes! I love you people.

You are mad. haha. I thought the same thing last week, but quickly changed my mind. TDK is a film that gets better upon multiple viewings and examinations; Watchmen (as a film) is the opposite.

Yeah, the slow-fast motion really just made it seem more like a comic panel come to life for me.

Sure it has monetary value. It's possible that whomever owned it before didn't know it was kryptonite (as was shown in many stories, including Superman Returns and the DCAU 3-part Batman/Superman crossover "World's Finest"). Any chunk of meteor is really freaking expensive; $70,000 was just the amount that Bruce paid for it.

Yeah, that sounds right. I still want to see Bubastis-Manhattan.

Mmm, that's right. I think in my head I was visualizing

Not the case here; sheltered he is not. It's probably because everything about the Watchmen film screams "CARTOON" with its extremely stylized visuals, but the actual story is extremely realistic and mature. Of course, we understand it all because we've read the comic, which is very dry and fittingly gritty. I think that the film's visuals are amazing, but don't necessarily blend well with the utter realism of the film's story. Did anyone else have a problem with the fact that (in the film) It just seems odd to me. I don't remember it being explained in the film.

A friend of mine (who hadn't read the book) said he hated the movie because it was so "morally depraved." I think that perhaps the film doesn't go deep enough in explaining exactly why the characters are so messed up, and to a non-person-who-read-the-book would seem like a montage of random sex and violence.

No such thing as bad press. *coughHeathLedgercough*

YES! Seriously, a 40-year-old Hal is kind of silly for this film. It works for Tony Stark, but Hal's origin requires that youthful hot-shot-ness.

Wow, that really sucks. Once I went to see FF: Rise of the Silver Surfer (yes, I was bored THAT badly) and the audio stopped working entirely. They gave us a free ticket to whatever other movie we wanted to see that day, as well as another free pass that was good until the end of time. All in all, it was worth it.

I totally missed that. That sounds really stupid in hindsight. Yeah, it's nice to see detail like that. Man, now I have to scrounge up $10 and go see it again.

I liked Bubastis. That cat/wolf/tiger/whatever was one of my favorite parts of the comic, and I don't really care if he wasn't explained to the viewers; they probably thought he was cool too.

Hmm. That makes a bit of sense, but it still bothers me how easily Clark was going to bang some hot alien Queen-of-Almerac chick. Oh well. *shrug*

The all-but-confirmed rumors are that Personally, I'm excited beyond belief about this film. It looks like it's defying the conventions that bound past Trek films and becoming something altogether more epic and real. (and this is from a fan of ALL the Trek series and films [minus The Final F***tier.])

Mmm... yeah, I also liked the

I actually kinda liked MCR's song when I heard it play at the end credits, but that may be because I heard it a few weeks ago and had time to let the pain lessen. It seemed to match the film's dystopian rock theme. My favorite scene was probably either the alley fight or the prison break.

Ah, yes. That makes sense. Still, though, I don't buy Clark's reaction. He's supposed to have super-judgment to override any desire no matter how strong, right? (like the desire to melt Luthor's brain.) Then again, perhaps I'm looking for depth in the wrong place. (that being Smallville) That... actually makes sense. We'll go with that.

It really wasn't important, though, and it would have been an extra five minutes on top of a film that was already stretching the limit. Besides, then we would have had yet another thing weighing on Nite Owl II's mind during the whole scene. I think that it worked better to , thus allowing his reaction to mirror the audience's. (does that make him the Luke Skywalker of Watchmen? O_o )

I really, really loved the movie. There were a few cheesy bits, but altogether it worked wonderfully. That might actually be in the director's cut of the film. There's an extra half-hour of footage that's going to be in the director's cut, not counting the Black Freighter bits.

WHAT THE HELL Was he under Red Kryptonite then?

UGH. YES. I'm pretty sure that that must be an undone shot.

I concur!

DON'T YOU DARE GET MY HOPES UP! >_<
