Watchmen.

Let me just say, it's the best main-stream super hero movie I've ever seen. It was done really well. However, I think it runs about 20-30 minutes too long (although I can't think of any cuts) and I HATE how they changed the ending.

I hate how they fucked up John's history, didn't provide the proper treatment to Hollis, never explained how anyone knew John went to Mars, had Rorschach fall for the set up without any actual reason why it worked out so well, no dead rapist with a sign saying "never", no hover bikes, skimmed Ozymandias' only chance at depth and Dan didn't do any precautionary work to prevent him and the others involved from being arrested. Movie was awful.

Oh, and Bubastis was the wrong color.

7/10
Gotta love blu ray though.

Watchmen

I give it 4/5

they could not include the many secondary characters and relationships that added the human connection in the comic which kind of loses a huge part of the effect that the watchmen story has in the text.
but frankly, he did a good job. it is not an embarrasment nor an insult. It is far better than that. considering what hollywood normally does to the comic source material (xmen 3 and spidey 3 and all fantastic four bs anyone?) it was good.

Rob Instigator · 03.08.2009, 03:48 PM

all that shit is nitpicking guys. it is a movie. if they get it half right consider yrself lucky! they change things for film's quirks and to maintain mood.

Well I'm a big kevin smith/seth rogen fan. I guess I just wanted it to be a lot better than it actually was. It was still quite funny though.

atsonicpark · 03.08.2009, 05:36 PM

I thought it sucked as a comedy but it wasn't too bad overall, if that makes sense.. just kinda dull... but then I think Kevin Smith is pretty worthless aside from his first two movies.

atsonicpark · 03.08.2009, 08:10 PM

The Inglorious Bastards trailer sure does look bad, doesn't it? "World War II, Tarantino-style!" Jesus. Starring Eli Roth, Brad Pitt, and Mike Meyers. I mean, I'll still download it opening night and watch it out of morbid curiosity but that trailer is pathetic! Though when you consider that Tarantino's best movie, Reservoir Dogs, is about 95% IDENTICAL to a Hong Kong film called "City on Fire", that shows you how great of a filmmaker he really is. At least nothing could be worse than Death Proof...

Norma J · 03.08.2009, 08:12 PM

I thought Watchmen was real cool.

atsonicpark · 03.08.2009, 08:14 PM

Oh wait, Maggie Cheung is going to be in it? sign me up!

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 03.09.2009, 01:41 AM

Well, QT's been babbling on about this one for more than a few years now...hopefully it's not complete shit.

Rob Instigator · 03.09.2009, 10:11 AM

eastwood's CHANGELING

looks good, boring though. true story an all, it was still full of cliche.
they should have titled this movie "He's Not My Son!"

demonrail666 · 03.09.2009, 10:13 AM

Yeah, Changeling was a weird one. Had I not kept reminding myself throughout the film that it was a true story I'd have written it off as preposterous. I thought Angelina Jolie was surprisingly good though.

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 03.10.2009, 04:49 AM

8 1/2

atsonicpark · 03.10.2009, 04:54 AM

There's a trailer? Shit. I gotta see it. I'm sure you'll hate it, like Death Proof. And I'll love it. Like Death Proof. And then we'll tug of war about that here for a while. Then we'll get on with our lives. haha.
