Has any one else seen it?? Went to see it in the cinema and it was my fav film I got it on DVD and man it definatly is one of the best films you can watch, if you havent seen it You need to...VAT free on tesco at the minute as well ;]

Yup, I love the opening scenes, the movie kinda goes off the boil after that.

I'm waiting for the super-dooper director's cut that incorporates Tales of the Black Freighter. Then I'll be a happy piggy!

Apparently the UK's not getting the director's cut for ages; limited to the US market at the moment.

Seconding the "get the book" opinion: it's so much better than the film. I can't think of a single thing Alan Moore's written that's been faithfully transferred to the screen.

Richie, normally you speak sense - what went wrong here? :smt075:joker:

The problem with Watchmen is that is a Superhero film without most of what people expect to find in a Superhero film.

The 1st 10 minutes of The X-Men, or Spiderman or even Wolverine have probably got more "Superhero film" in them than The Watchment.

That because The Watchmen is a commentary on the 80 political environment, set behind a Film Noire/50's Sam Spade style who dunnit, the costumes (and super powers of the few who have them) are merely window-dressing and plot-devices, rather than the drivers of the plot.

I had read the book before, probably about 20 years ago, so I kind of knew not to expect Superman or Batman, but it had been long enough ago that it was all fresh.

I must dig up a copy of the Book again (waiting for a Book/Movie bundle)

I am so glad I am not alone on this!

I read the book and couldnt wait to see the film.
It was like the old feeling of disapointment at christmas when your mum says " we got you just what you wanted" you think great, I got a new bike...
"thats right son, we got you a scooter..."

I just felt so robbed, there was so much more they could have done with it but didnt.
