Who watches the watchmen ?!

So I'm a fan of Alan Moore, his V for Vendetta had one of the best stories and characters I've ever seen but here I dig a big hole and jump into it with shame for never reading what people say it's his best if not one of the best comic books/ Graphic Novels even made, like EVER.

So I'm hyped for the movie, I liked V for Vendetta movie a lot even if it did change some of the points of the comic. Now people say to me it's better to first read the comic then see the movie. I'm not going to do but, because my past experience told me that movies are usually worse the the comics and I would probably hate the movie if I first read the comic, so I'll first see the movie when it comes out here and then get the full experience by reading the novel....

So I can't wait to see and read this but what about you? Anyone seen it? Anyone read the original comic? Share your thoughts with me! smile

I haven't read the comics or seen the movie yet, unfortunately... I'm looking forward to the movie though!
I hope it's PG or 12A so I Could watch it. I just want to know: Is it true that My Chemical Romance's
Bob Dylan cover of the song: "Desolation Row" is in the Watchmen soundtrack?

Yeah I love Alan Moore, so I've read it. (It didn't help that my college kept bringing it up when we had comic discussions either, so I HAD to) I don't have high hopes for the movie though but I'll see it with an open mind. I read V for Vendetta before watching the movie, and I still liked the movie.

My cousin watched it last weekend and it's PG-13. She said the blue guy is completely naked ALL THE TIME and you can see EVERYTHING. She also said they have... you know the "s" word and you can see stuff. By hearing this, I wouldn't recomend it for younger children. roll

I have only heard people talking about it on the radio lol...one of the bigger things seeming to be the naked blue guy...but seeing as how I have never read it and I have not seen it yet....I'll wait till then to make any judgments on it.

The Watchmen was an EPIC movie, and worth every bit of hype about it.

Watchmen is rated R in the U.S. (Don't know about Europe or anywhere else)

Well, it's not a superhero movie. But, it was EPIC.

Younger kids. (13-under) Fair warning, this could have been easily rated NC-17. a.k.a. X.

Yeah naked guys running around and *bleep* scenes will usually do that to a rating...but hey, this is America I doubt they really care much tongue

So I finally saw the film....and man oh man wsa is awesome!!!!!

Just my type of thing!!!! IT was a great movie and I can see that a lot of effort was put into it. The story was good but it's the character we care about and thet's the charm of it good interesting rememorable characters. Each of theur stories was interesting and I cared about them and wanted to know what happenes to them.....

There ius some retarded stuff and the ending was kind of sloppy but over all it was great!

And the soundtrack was just spot on! It has probably one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a movie in a looooong time.....

So all in all epic movie is epic big_smile I'm sooooo gonna get me a copy of the comic book!!!
