Watchmen - The Ultimate Cut

watchmen is one of the best graphic novels out there and i think that this is one of the best comic book movies out there. i enjoy the spidermans and the x men series but i  think this one is a great movie. this movie is up there with the dark knight and 300 as top comic book movies.

besides this is one of the most faithful comic book adaptations, is almost frame by frame the comic, and it is awesome. and the little part that deviates from the comic makes it better and more believable, o lot of people complaint about that  little change but for my was necessary.

and the directors cut par is very good, but i recommend it only for the people that read the comic or that saw the movies first version and wants to get deeper into the movie, in the extra parts there are some parts that the original release omits and makes the character deeper but other new pars would kind of let you see in advance some minor plot twists.

what do you think of watchmen? and wat do you think about the directors cut? let me know

  6. I read the comic, and loved it. I thought the movie wasn't great -because- they were too faithful to the book. Plot elements that were easy to understand on paper were not necessarily so on the screen.

  11. Not a big comic reader but I did enjoy the movie, though it was already long enough for me so I think I will skip this cut

  12. I havent read the comics so would this be a good movie to watch even though I know nothing about it? will it ruin the comics for me if i watch this first?

  13. I enjoyed the movie but I didn't care for the ending. I disagreed with that last superhero in allowing all of those people to die to make a point. He could rationalize his way of thinking until he was blue in the face but I would have thought of other ways to make people work together in harmony.

  14. I will have to check out the different cuts, I enjoyed the novel MUCH more than the movie however.

  15. watchmen really was great in both iterations! The movie adaptation's changes did make it better, especially it drove home the futility of everything that had happened even more. Also, I really like how they made the costumes in the movie.

  16. I read the graphic novel but thought the original cut of the film could have been improved by leaving more on the cutting room floor.

  29. Didn't know 300 was a comic book. I loved Watchmen! Fan of the original comic book (... "graphic novel") and thought both were supremely great!
