I've finally seen some cardboard poster things at my local megaplex, showing the costumed characters with a quote from them. Gotta say, they look kinda weird to me since I've never seen most of them before. Still, I figure someone should post the POV of someone unfamiliar with the franchise. |

I already knew about that... http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/02/the_en...y_fing_nigh.php (Topless Robot is a fun blog to follow.) And a more recent example of Watchmen merchandise gone too far... http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/02/seriou...ing_stop_it.php |

I wasn't sure whether I should post it on this thread or start a whole new thread for it, but either way, I just took a look at the music for the movie... Here's the soundtrack...
...and here's the score...

The Cardinal of Win is correct. I read the soundtrack backwards, and was pretty optimistic until I threw up a little in my mouth. |

Well, I went to see this today. Now I am a huge fan of the comic, but I knew from the start it would be impossible to perfectly replicate the book, with all of its hidden depths and variety of sub-plots, into the space of a film. So from the start I told myself that I would just have to watch it on its own terms and judge accordingly. Guess what? It's actually not bad. It largely remains true to the spirit of the book, even if it doesn't necessarily follow it to the letter. There were moments that were perfect re-enactments of scenes from the book; sure, some of the fight scenes had been expanded on, but that didn't matter, for the fight choreography was pretty good with nice clear camera work. The cast and acting was generally good and captured the dysfunctional characters of the book well. I remember a lot of controversy around the altered ending; there's a new sub-plot about new energy resources (apparently to make the film more topical) that ties in to the new ending, and I have to admit I did find what they came up with instead a bit disconcerting; in the book, the clean, limitless energy source they're trying to work towards has already been implemented. Now that I've seen the altered ending though, it does actually work in that it stays true to the spirit of the original book's killer twist, if not the letter. One other thing; the soundtrack was awesome... BUT IT WAS RUINED BY THOSE FUCKING GOBSHITES MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE. You know how some music is somehow able to suck all of the good qualities out of whatever's in the proximity of it? Well, that's what MCR's music is like. It plays right at the end credits, which means now I can't clearly remember the film, only my absolute hatred and disgust at associating what is inarguably (seriously, I fucking dare you to argue with me on this) the lowest form of shit with the property. Honestly, I want to track down and strangle the man who thought using their "music" was a good idea. In summation though, I would certainly recommend reading the book above all else, but this is probably as good an adaptation as we were ever likely to get from a two and a half hour Watchmen movie. |

the film was great. i think the dvd is supposed to add over 30 minutes of cut stuff, like hollis masons death, and more stuff about the shrink. the soundtrack was great, right up until the credits. dear GOD what have they done to poor bob dylan?! |
