Koete Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The alley fight is way too over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 As are a good deal of the fight scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 And now, for the Mars scene, which continues to be incredibly well done. And the tearing and rending of flesh starts... now. Phillip Glass was an awesome choice for this, as with most of the major points in the film. Dick count: 2 (that I remember) The Superman exists, and he is American.

Molly Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I liked the alley fight. I intend to shoot every fight scene in my film career like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The castle is, and will always be for me, absofuckinglutely beautiful. Hah. Radiation is clearly equivalent to cooties. Silk Spectre is a lot more... violent in the director's cut. The biggest differences I can see thus far are subtle little cues and easter eggs in the director's cut, and more violence. ...

Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Alley fight was nice and got point across nicely without bones going through skin, really. I guess that's the big thing with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Veidt's characterization in this is so ham fisted that it's painful to watch. Also, sad that the Rorschach exercise got cut, even though it led right up to it. It seems like its pretty blatantly missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 ...God, I am a horrible human being for thinking of "Fire Burning" during the Rorschach capture scene. MY FACE. GIVE ME BACK MY FACE. And now Rorschach and the psychologist. So much fun ,especially with the morph of the blots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The butcher knife to the head repeatedly like this, I have to admit, I really wasn't expecting. And it still kinda makes me ill. I guess, for me, there's only so much gore that I can handle. And ow, hot boiling oil. Whoops, flamethrower, whee! And now for awkward couch sexings time. So glad that they kept this in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Apocalypse kiss! If this doesn't turn the kids off sex, then nothing will! Kissing will cause a nuclear explosion! (Still good, solid imagery) Dan: I am vengeance. I am the ni - HOLY SHIT HOT CHICK IN LATEX YAY. And okay, the added part wit hthe girl asking her mom about the legality was cute. And ugh, this is possibly the single worst choice in music for this movie. And it may possibly be the Anti-Boner Equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Chainsaw OW. "So, Doctor, tell me. WHAT DO YOU SEE?" Jon: Oh, BTW, I'm back. To Mars, away! Dick Count (That I've Noticed): 3 ...That comic book is not in the style of the 80s, it's stills from the DVD, and it's lazy. And now Hollis Mason's back. To get murdered. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 ...Why did they not put Hollis' death scene in the movie? Yes, it's an extra five minutes, but it's a GOOD five minutes. Just the flashbacks paired with the fight, and the way it ends... This should've been in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 ...The bar scene should've been in here as well. Dan's always so controlled, and to see him just lose it is powerful. Dick Count: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I completely agree. Such a good scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Huh. Someone in the original thread mentioned the boys file on Adrian's computer, I just saw it now. Good touch. (Still pansexual. Or at the least bi.) NO SHIT HE'S EVIL. JESUS GOD, HOW DUMB DO YOU THINK WE ARE?! ...Clearly, Veidt dresses up enough in his costume that his staff is used to this. And Bubastis appearing w/o explanation is always interesting. Also, someone pointed out in the original thread that the scientists should have been turned into Manhattan-esque entities. I think the only reason they didn't because they're dead, where Jon was alive when he was torn apart. And with Bubastis, I still can't explain it. Because she's not human? Also, I take back what I said earlier, Malin Ackerman's acting has gotten progressively worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Also, Ackerman's acting completely took away the impact of this scene. (London Bridge is falling down...) And one of my favorite monologues in the book has now completely lost its impact, too. ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER. Not my most favorite version, but still a fun version, nonetheless.

Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Of course I'll be fine, I'm Rorschach, bitch. "He's a vegetarian, for Christ's sake!" I love how, up until now, they've never really emphasized how strong Adrian is. And random Bubastis, still unexplained, but whee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 And now, for doomsday, featuring all the minor characters that we conveniently have in one place. I'm still surprised they were able to do this, especially with the 9/11 attacks. I still think Veidt was taking a huge risk, though. If the other nations didn't get the news of other attacks on major cities in time, they might've thought that Manhattan was turning on them, and blown each other up regardless, which kind of undoes all of his plans.
