WATCHMEN

[Thor's Hammer]

Any of you guys see this movie? I was a huge fan of the original comics, so expected Hollywood to trample it in its usuall fashion - Instead it was everything a fan could ask for and more. Dark, grim, bleak, political, uber violent, and an extremely sexy silk spectre in kinky boots. and no stupid kiddie rating either. Extra cool!

It was an interesting twist to the status quo.

It was an interesting twist to the status quo.

you mean in terms of standard comic book stories?

That, and regular movies. It was almost like Vantage Point, at first, luckly they quit that shinanigins.

Kinda like 300 in '06. Fairly differnet than anything in my past.

 

[Chisel Tooth]

Just got back from seeing it, there is a lot to keep up with. Moves pretty fast in some places, but over all is a good movie. I will be adding it to the collection once it is released on DVD.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It probably needs to be viewed more than once to catch everything.

If you guys like reading good sci-fi complete with powered exo-skeleton enhanced soldiers, then Armor by John Steakley is a great read.

Yes it most definitely does.

I saw this movie last night. It's very well made and does a better job of capturing the feel and story of the comic novel then I expected.

I still recommend reading the graphic novel. It's a classic.
