Watchmen!

Just watched this on Sky Movies last night and wow :eek:

What an amazing film, it came out in 2009 but I must have missed the cinema adds.

Anybody else blown away buy this? Sin City and Watchmen are my fav films :cool:

Amazing.

In an alternate 1985 where former superheroes exist, the murder of a colleague sends active vigilante Rorschach into his own sprawling investigation, uncovering something that could completely change the course of history as we know it.

Indeed, great film even better on the Director's Cut Blu-Ray.

actually improved on the graphic novel, quite an achievement.

Thought it was a load of rubbish, walked out of the cinema about halfway through!

Brilliant film.

Easily one of my all time favourite films and imho one of the better films made for a very long time.

Totally awesome film, though what happened at the end made me a sad bunny.

I think more films/games/books should end in that slightly depressing fashion rather than the "pure good will always triumph" ending most go with.

I think you mean "The Ultimate Cut"

I prefered the graphic novel, but i'm still impressed on how good it was to be honest.

I have to admit I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I think I was expecting an action epic, when in fact there is a very deep story there.

I enjoyed it, easily one of the better graphic novel/comic book conversions.

I thought it was pants to be blunt!

Total Marmite film, I can understand why those who do not like it do not get why people who love it think it's so good, it's certainly not your nornal comicbook film.

P.S. read the book...

I thought it was awesome, It has to be experienced on bluray

Greenlizard0 · 24 Dec 2010 at 17:22

A really good film, like yourself completely missed its original releases at the cinema or onto Blu-Ray.

I agree..I watched an hour of it and I had no clue what was going on!

yeah, the film ending was much better - sacrilege to alan moore fans i'm sure, but then any time i've heard him quoted he comes across as a ****.

I loved it although it is some heavy viewing. Haven't actually watched the latest nearly 3 hours cut though.

Cybermyk · 24 Dec 2010 at 21:35

I have the ultimate version. I like the extra cartoon stuff and the reading kid side story.

Wossi · 24 Dec 2010 at 22:05

A very good film, but not a patch on the graphic novel.
