But this is what I was talking about before when the topic was the change in the ending. I could handle that, if the movie wasn't filled with bullshit pointless slow motion sequences, horribly choreographed fight scenes that weren't in the comic, and awkward additions like that goofy soul killing jail fight smile.

My last bit of hope is that some idiot released unfinished edits. I mean, look at the Rorschach sequence. The editing is all over the place. One minute he's right in front of them, then he's sliding towards them, knocking one out with a hairspray can, then down the hallway jumping through the window.

This can't be a finished product can it?

Well there are definitely things missing, as early reviews have pointed out. But that doesn't really make a fucking difference to me. People are trying to defend the prison break scene by saying it's longer in the movie. Do you think I want to see more of that shit?

Interesting, I thought them looking at wach other with a smile was appropriate as they did that in the comic when they were out and got mugged. I figured maybe they added that glance here and not had the mugging scene? *shrug*

I didn't like how Owly fought myself, never thought him as so ninja-y I guess. More punching, less fancy stuff.

Honestly, I don't watch anything besides the first or second trailer. Why are you watching clips from the movie? Just wait til the movie.

It's so hard to judge a movie from random clips.

Thats one thing Ive noticed. Every time someone is one a talk show and they show a clip from a movie it looks like crap in general. Maybe just me though

Burkex · 02-22-2009, 12:17 AM

I hope those clips are unfinished. The director of 300 directing this movie scares me because I didn't like how 300 was filmed at all. He made 300 look cool visually but other than that it sucked and it had way too much slow mo and relied way too much on catchy one liners. I love Watchmen, I have read it maybe 10 times in my lifetime and so I am praying this movie is not a pos like 300. But so far these trailers scare me. I still can't wait to see it but I am really afraid of being disappointed. This director could be the new Uwe Bol.

I've never read the watchmen, should I before I go see the movie?

Tred · 02-22-2009, 10:05 PM

Yes it couldn't hurt to read it. It will absolutely be better than the movie even if the movie turns out excellently. It's generally considered one of the "classics" in the comic book world.

Outstanding clip.

Great clip. Rorschack looks and sounds great and the script is right from the comic. This gives me hope.

Saw it tonight, didn't like it to be honest.

Are you trying to become the new Astrocreep? 300 may have been lacking a bit on substance, but holy shit, Uwe Boll? You really need some perspective here.

He's just trolling.
