I have no idea what was in the movie that made you enjoy it. - groiny Aug 23, 09:40 9
- I also enjoyed the Comedian, but he was in it so little. I did enjoy watching Rorshach, but I did not like the character - amoxy Aug 23, 09:42 8
  - how can a movie about heroes be depressing???? - groiny Aug 23, 09:48 7
    - It's supposed to be. Moore examines the reality of a vigilante vs. the media heroicized myth. -- nm - David Aug 23, 09:53 6
      - yeah, but I did not care about any of that. - groiny Aug 23, 09:54 5
        
        That's my point. You checked out on the core concept. Obviously, you were going to hate it. -- nm - David Aug 23, 10:00 4
        
        how can you get invested in characters that you don't care about? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 10:04 3
        
        I have this problem a lot. With Watchmen, I already loved the characters from the book so that factors in. -- nm - David Aug 23, 10:06 2
        
        Those of us who did not read the book were bored and lost and ultimately gave up - amoxy Aug 23, 10:10 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 10:14
Looking at this thread, only you and Spawn are defending the movie - amoxy Aug 23, 09:40 6
- It is an extraordinary deconstruction of the superhero myth and a best case scenario adaptation... - David Aug 23, 09:41 5
  - I think it was the best they could have done faithfully to the book -- that said, it was still boring as hell. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 09:46
  - Sadly, "best case adaptation" translated to boring piece of crap on a cracker. - TWuG Aug 23, 09:44

      - yeah, it does not bode well for the future. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 09:48
