Anyone see this movie?

Decent movie, dumb ending. It should be a hit with the females and teedubbya, with all of the jiggling male genitalia flopping around.

Yes.

BTW, the ending in the graphic novel achieves almost the exact same result although it is done differently. The movie would have been way, way too long had they gone with Allan Moore's original ending involving "the giant squid".

Zack Snyder had to hack a lot of footage out to make the theatrical release, the extended length / directors cut which IIRC is supposed to be over three and a half hours long (over 45 minutes longer than the theatrical release) should close up a few loopholes and round out the characters a bit better.

I commented on the movie a couple weeks ago. I watched it online and didn't care for it too much. If you find my post, I may have even put a link in it so you could watch it and save $9...or whatever it costs to see a movie in your area.

Yes, this kinda disappointed me as well. I wanted to see the "Leviathan", but all we got were big explosions.

Ho hum.

Yup, I wanted the HP Lovecraftian ending too, but alas...

Personally, I would have been willing to have The Watchmen movie as a 6+ hour long movie to be accurate to the GR and have the detail and full storyline that was in the GR, and the fanboys would have embraced it, but no one else would have watched it and no studio would have greenlit that.

All in all, it's not bad the way Zack Snyder did it.

I don't know if I want to risk blowing my brains out to watch this movie.

EUGENE, Ore. -- A 24-year-old man shot and killed himself inside a movie theater at a shopping mall during a screening of the movie "The Watchmen" just past midnight Monday.

The report of a gun fired at the Regal Cinemas in Valley River Center mall came in at 12:15 a.m. Monday.

There were about 10 other people in the theater at the time, according to police. The victim, whose name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, was seated in the back corner of the theater.

The closest person to the gunman was two rows away. No one else was injured.

Movie goers reported hearing a popping sound during the late-night showing. The manager contacted police.

I'm surprised that cbc812 isn't out there protesting this film, seeing that it destroys New York and considers that a "practical joke."

I'm sure his vitriolic hate-ridden posts directed at Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and Zack Snyder will be forthcoming.
