Chris Hardwick posted on Twitter that he liked Watchmen (he saw it tonight) better than The Dark Knight. So if you agree with him on things, go from there.
In terms of overarching plot, DaveO, agreed… I was thinking that focusing on the final confrontation between Rorschach and Dr. Banana Hammock (credit Tyler, if I remember right) would provide an entry point to the bigger debate, since it presents it in such immediate terms and immediate resolution. But agreed.
I could provide an ultimate spoiler to those who haven’t read the novel by revealing Rorschach’s final Rorschach. LMFAO. Sorry. Had to go there. I figured he would end up symmetrical no matter what, right?
I think it could be. I’m not sure how many people here actually read and retained the graphic novel (not comic book). In addition to fact of the use of the Doomsday Clock from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists in the novel to signify the closeness of the Soviet Union and the US going to nuclear war. Most people on the forum are too young to remember us being enemies with the USSR or even know of the Doomsday Clock without a detailed explanation.
Just get enough Nyquil to last yourself from now until the 6th. You’ll be in a stupor until the opening and you won’t notice the time go by. Don’t drive or operate heavy machinery though.
There are going to be riots in the streets if this movie sucks. Fanboys everywhere will be disappointed, I’m going to lower my expectations right now to make sure I enjoy it when it comes out just in case it ‘is’ bad.
@ Jenny Z: I have had a bad feeling about this movie for while now. The trailers look good and the effects stunning but the cast and the acting looks doomed. Also, they referred to the heroes as the Watchmen which I am fairly certain was not really done in the book and it gives me the chills with how cheesy it sounds.
Ozymandius: Too small, and too skinny. I’m starting to get a bad feeling about this movie, especially after the “Tales of the Black Freighter” trailer :/
i would have given Doc a damn chance shit !! can’t wait to see how this turns out on screen. reading the comic again, ready to be pissed about what is changed j/k hahaha…
I am so unbelievably stoked for this movie, I can’t watch any more clips. I want it all to be new to me when I see it at Midnight on March 5. Rollie, you in?
I think, based on what I’ve seen and heard, that they got this movie right. SO looking forward to it.
Eh. Some of these clips aren’t too interesting. The last trailer for Wolverine wasn’t that good either.

Hardwick? Doesn’t that guy still owe you money?
HARDWICK! [comically shakes fist towards sky]
Is it too soon to debate here the ultimate decision/position of Rorschach versus that of Manhattan/everyone else?

I second Magoo. But I think the real dichotomy would be Rorschach’s stance vs that of Ozymnadias.
Stop it! Stop it! I going to see the movie! I’m bringing people! I’m sold! Stop!!!
This movie needs to be in theaters now!! NEED ITT!!!

Call me crazy, but the acting in that clip was terrible.

omg omg omfg I CANT WAIT!!!
HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY…..THAT MOVIE LOOKS BETTER….EACH TIME…….K
I might catch it when it hits walmart’s $1 bin
for some reason I cant get behind all the hype…but I hope its good
Still don’t believe it…
cant wait to see it
Just keeps getting better and better, doesn’t it? Looks amazing.
only weeks away…sweet!
That clip wasn’t so much exciting but I do find it funny that it’s “MSN exclusive” and it’s on you tube and now OliviaMunn.com. heh
This is because they took out the squid and replaced it with a nuke at the end. It is foreshadowing, people. Geez.

I loved the comic, can’t wait to see the movie!
that wasn’t in the book. dan never talked to adrian about russia and a mask killer.
Great clip. Keep ‘em coming.
Ozymandius: Too small, and too skinny. I’m starting to get a bad feeling about this movie, especially after the “Tales of the Black Freighter” trailer :/
Meh. That clip didn’t wind me up to see the movie any more than the previous ones did. I just hope the movie isn’t as slow as that scene was.
I can’t wait for this movie… wait… I guess I have no choice….
Well I’ll wait.. but I won’t be happy about it….
Seriously Olivia, you’re teasing us just like when you wear a naughty French maid outfit.
That guys seems a little to small and skinny to be Ozymandias. I really want to see what they changed from the comic.
Stop hyping us up Olivia,
i would have given Doc a damn chance shit !! can’t wait to see how this turns out on screen. reading the comic again, ready to be pissed about what is changed j/k hahaha…
