"I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me" is one of my favorite lines from any movie ever
Easily my favorite Zack Snyder movie
Truth
Excuse me? What about teletubbies
Easily
I mostly agree, visually speaking I think it's his best work without a doubt. I never really got the impression Snyder fully appreciated what Alan Moore was trying to say with these characters though.
Are you serious?
Never understood why this movie didn't do better at the box office. Easily one of my favorite superhero movies of all time, and the best literal translation from page to screen of any movie ever. It literally feels like a comic come to life onscreen.
One additional touch I loved is how Zack Snyder went out of his way to give each of the characters a unique fighting style of their own, from Owlman's sweeping attacks and Silk Specter's straight ahead lunges to Rorschach's almost berserker like wild melee, he made each style fit their character.
People are dumb. This movie is amazing.
It's lack of name recognition, good promotion, long run-time, adult themes and many other things, I'm sure.
people in mass go to action films, about 90 minutes, and are more likely to go see a sequel or a well-known franchise, usually go with families/friends and will avoid movies rated R to be inclusive of younger people in the group or to avoid "uncomfortable" topics.
Well it was before the superhero movie boom. So a large part of the satire didn’t work for a general audience. So it’s just a bunch of bad superheroes. I get why that wouldn’t appeal to people.
Throw in the fans that don’t think this is a good representation of the comic and you have a formula for a movie not faking off.
By this time, Nolan's Batman came and MCU was starting.
It was rated R, historically they do worse box office wise. That's why a lot of studios try to aim for PG-13 or lower; luckily that's changing.
Dr. Manhattan is the most intriguing and fascinating character I think I've ever seen in comics. The idea of some"thing" so beyond us and his humanity is just... WOW.
millions of religious ppl believe that some"thing" exists... :D ;)
@@JokerInk-CustomBuildsso do atheists since they never miss an opportunity to insult others beliefs. But really they are anti-theist since they oppose beliefs instead of simply carrying on as if said beliefs didn't exist.

@@Belnick6666 yeah but think about it.. if u had that power what would excite u anymore? maybe space traveling... he knows everything and can do anything always... sex or traveling family etc would b meaningless .... u would just be...
That "it always has been " meme edit was fucking perfection
THANK YOU
Interesting thing about the password is that it's an easter egg. Ozymandias is the greek-a-fied shorthand of "Ramses". And the poem Ozymandias is a poem about Ramses II.
The biggest thing that I think is lacking from the film adaptation is the limited presence of Rorschach’s psychiatrist. The emotional and intellectual journey he takes during the graphic novel grounds the story in a realistic feeling of helplessness of the everyday person during large scale global conflicts like the Cold War (with or without superheroes). He may be the only truly sane character in the whole story. Without his presence, something thematically is definitely lost.
Yeah just to keep the movie from being 5 hours long Snyder was forced to hurry through a lot of these including Rorschach and the psychiatrist.
Unless it was done as a TV show I don’t think it would really be possible to play out the psychiatrist scenes in full length…they could also add in tales of the black freighter
Interesting. I’ve only seen the movie but I read Doomsday Clock and they reference the psychiatrist because his son plays a prominent role in the comics. Gotta read the original.
*FINALLY*
Thank you guys! This is one of my all-time favorites and it shows how good something can be if the people making it actually care about the story, the characters and the overall themes and perspectives. A wonderful weekend to you all.
God bless!
“Care about the story” Where? The movie only cared about the visuals of the book but not the meaning of the themes, characters, and story. The movie made an incel character from the book into a heroic figure and made watchmen heroes seem superhuman every time they fight someone when it isn’t like that in the book. The book they are supposed to be regular people.
@@americasteam2112 Why you want the movie to be just like the book. Frankly it's nonsense, the fact of wanting it to be exactly like in the book. A lot of people haven't read the books and just want a decent movie whose story they understand. Regarding the fact that they apparently have superhuman strength, they are superheroes and it's a fantasy world. Manhattan alone is a mind-blowing character. If you like the book so much, well, stick with the book and just imagine how it could be. The guy made his film, you don't like it, too bad for you. Many others liked this movie.
I love how much invested Jen got into the movie during and after it
The historical montage introduction was a brilliant way to cram a lot of the history of the world of Watchmen into just a few minutes (set to a great Dylan song).
"It could be teddy bears and rainbows!" All I can think of is that Rorschach scene...... Any of them, really.
The Ultimate Director's Cut has more extended scenes and one hell of an animated sequences pulled directly from the graphic novel. Love the theatrical version, but anytime I watch this film, I always go the UDC version.
There is an extended cut of the movie where when he yells at everyone in the studio to “LEAVE HIM ALONE” he killed everyone (edit. He didn’t kill them he teleported them to the parking lot. My bad)in there turning them to dust then he leaves to Mars. This cut also has the story between the comic guys at the end that Holden talked about
He doesn’t kill them, he teleports them away to the parking lot.
A. The blue dust is the same after-effect from every teleportation he does before and after this
B. the teleportation “shockwave” energy ring flies directly at the camera and the specific sound effect is winding down as the empty studio comes into view.
C. the bald agent that later interrogates Laurie and she assaults was right next to him trying to shield him from the reporters when it happened, so he didn’t die clearly
There are two Extended cuts to this film. One with the deleted scenes (Ultimate) and the other one with those and the Black Freighter comic book animated story (Extended).
@@AleksPizana the ultimate cut is the one with the animated black freighter story added in. At least my blu ray with the black freighter says “the ultimate cut” on it and has a skull and crossed swords on the yellow pin logo rather than the smiley face.
The characters in the Watchman movie and Book are based on the 70s Charlton comics characters, which were acquired by DC comics in the early 80s. Writer Allen Moore wanted to tell the story with the Charlton characters, but DC management told him no, so he made copycat Characters based on them. Rorschach is based on The Question, The Comedian is based on Peacemaker (who was played by John Cena in the Suicide Squad and had his own HBO show.) Nite Owl 1 is based on Blue Beatle 1 Dan Garrett, who was just a guy in a costume punching people. Nite Owl 2 is based on the 2nd Blue Beatle Ted Kord, along with all his gadgets and his ship. Both the 1st two Blue Beatles are referenced in the trailer for the newest Blue Beatle, Jaime Reyes's movie. In the shot where you see them saying the older gadgets at Kord industries are like Batman, you can see The Blue Beatle 1 and 2 costumes in the background. And last, Dr. Manhattan is based on Captain Atom.
You saved me some typing.
Silf Spectre is based on Nightshade.
Had Watchmen been published just a few years later, it would have been under the Elseworlds imprint and featured the actual Charlton characters. DC published alternative versions of their characters all the time by the late Eighties, but it was still a new concept in 1985.
@@wtk6069 I much prefer it this way, with original characters having no connected with the wider DC Universe.
Funny how they're all arguably better than the characters they copied, especially Rorschach
I really enjoyed the Watchmen series, which was made as a follow-up to the original comic, not the movie. It's premised on the inter-dimensional squid attack, and shows how Ozymandius perpetuated the charade.
Watchmen was originally published in the 80s, amid the zeitgeist of the Cold War. In a similar way, the TV series focuses on the current zeitgeist, touching on racism, disinformation, domestic terrorism and police brutality.
On how easy it was for them to guess the password--that was the whole point. Everything in the movie happens according to Ozymandius' plan, on his schedule. He wants them to find the video, so he deliberately made the password easy to guess.
Couldn't agree more. I would love to see them watch the series. It's really great! I recommend it to everyone
@@GeneralWAITE Same, would love a reaction to the series!!
The show was woke bullshit that had absolutely nothing to do with the original. It was garbage.
This ^
@@modifidious7171no
"The most accurate comic to live action adaptation" only visually.
Exactly
While I'm sure the "looks silly" issue was part of the decision to remove the squid, one important point is that the squid requires a lot of screentime to explain; with the mystery of the kidnapped artists and scientists, and it also requires the existence of actual psychics in the human population, rather than Manhattan himself being the only "magic" element in the world.
Yup - the psychic squid worked fine in the comic book but would have been too much for the movie - Zac needed to simplify it and it worked fine.
I like having the "cause" be Dr Manhattan, since he's been a known "god" for decades now, and after decades of showing little to no emotion, the last people saw of him was screaming in rage. It feels like a more concrete reason for people to rally together, to me.
@@geetee4459 Kind of ironic that James Gunn made it work* in The Suicide Squad with Starro the giant Starfish as the big alien threat.
*But not with me. I thought it was pretty ridiculous tbh...
@@noneofyourbeeswax01two wildly different movies made by two very different directors with almost no relation to each other, other than big fish monster 🤣
THE SHOW ANSWERS EVERY QUESTION HOLDEN ASKED NEAR THE END I can not stress how awesome it is!!!!
I highly recommend the HBO show! It is one of the most smartly written screenplays/story ever. Also, the cinematography and soundtrack are amazing! Even if you don't plan on reacting to it, I hope that you will give it a chance one day. If you loved the comic, I'm sure you're going to love the show!
said no one ever
@@LordDarshdan I literally just did... You're commenting on it...
I thought the show was so much better then the movie
Nah I’m good 😊
@@LordDarshdansaid a lot of people
If you watch the Watchmen TV series it showed the "intermediate attacks" that Adrian continued to keep the "peace".
Watchmen
2019 American TV series
I would love to see your reactions to the Watchmen show. One season and done. I absolutely loved it.
@Anonnermooseur mom sucks
the HBO show is crazy good. follows on from the ending of the graphic novel rather than the movie adaptation, and attempts to address some current day issues, the same way the graphic novel was concerned about addressing contemporary issues of the time. it's great stuff
Race baiting show. Please read the truth about Tulsa, lol.
I thought it was a decent watch but I don’t think it’s nearly at the level of the original graphic novel (which it’s a sequel to, not the movie)
Would love to see you do the Watchmen HBO series after this. Though it is a follow up to the comic not the movie.
This movie isn’t a perfect adaptation but considering the challenge of adapting the novel I think this did about as good of a job as anyone could do and I actually like the film ending slightly more
I know it’s a little sac-religious but the ending of the movie honestly made more sense to me (having read the original)
And was definitely more sinister
@@edgarcardenas1777 It was better than what transpired in the comics. The giant alien squid thing was pretty stupid IMO in the comics, and frankly Alan Moore is a legend in his own mind.
@@alucard624personally, i think that having this god that could kill all of them whenever he wants but he’s choosing not to for some reason makes less sense to me than this interdimensional squid attack that could happen anytime and anyplace as they have almost no knowledge on it. yes the squid is pretty goofy, but i think the choice of this secondary cause than it being a god just deciding not to kill them all when he 100% could is the better choice. but i 100% understand the choice for manhattan to be the cause in this movie and i still lowkey love this movie.
Pretty sure you mean the twist since both the movie and the comic has the same ending.
Fun fact: the new Watchmen TV show is actually a sequel to the comic, and not a sequel to the movie! I find that really interesting, as we don't really see that happen often in media
Jen is NOT ready for Watchmen!
My friend called Dr. Manhatten, Mr. Blue Dingle.😂
Great selection of movies/tv shows! I always feel entertained a bit more because of the fine quality of programs you and your wife react to.
you should also was the HBO miniseries, it’s phenomenal
I haven't watched this movie before but I for sure want to now.
I have only seen the tv-show and the giant squid part that Holden mentions is part of the TV shows backstory.
In the comic the story of Rorschach’s mask is that there was a fashion designer who made a new fabric ghat can change and alter it’s self like a Rorschach. She was gunned down in the streets and no one helped her. He took her fabric and made it his mask to remind society that they did not save someone
Not just gunned down, she was raped, tortured and beaten before being killed. All while the "innocent" citizens stood by and *watched.* That really fucked Rorschach up. They didn't just refuse to help her, but even watched her suffer the inhumanity.
Okay, the editing of Optimus Primal in that one board room scene was amazing.
😜
I think you guys would really like the Watchmen television show from HBO as well. It references many of these characters and gives us updates as to where they are now, while telling a new a compelling story.
I only just watched this movie for the first time earlier this year. It's definitely something I feel like I need to rewatch because I feel like for maybe the first half of the movie I was very confused to what the story was and what was going on, similar to what Jen had mentioned at the end. I enjoyed it and it surprised me but I definitely need to watch it again.
I fell asleep in the movie theater. But this is one of my favorite movies of all times. I’ve watched it so many times, I lost count. But every time I rewatch, I pick up something new. It’s really just a perfect, sophisticated movie
Just read the comic. Way better. The movie misses the mark of the story.
I read Watchmen in preparation for the movie when it first came out. Couldn't agree more, one of the most amazing, faithful adaptations with lines and scenes right out of the graphic novel (my favorite is Night Owl sitting in his cave hunched over after Rorschach leaves). Even the way they changed the ending stayed faithful to the message of the original. Great reaction choice!!
crazy that Zack Snyder always said the movie could never be done, then he found out what the studio was doing it and if you read into the changes the studio was going to do like having Rorschach be a good person hero type that wins in the end.. it's no wonder he stepped in.
The scene where Rohrschach kills the man who murdered the little girl was changed because the movie "SAW" came out before the movie Watchmen and was a success.
SAW has the original scene from the Watchmen comic.
People who watched SAW without knowing anything about Watchmen could have been thinking that Watchmen literally copied an exact scene from SAW because it got adapted later
The end of the original Mad Max movie (1979) has the bad guy being given a choice between burning or cutting of his own hand too. Mad max was several years before the Watchmen comic book was written. I haven’t seen Saw but if the same killing method was used in Mad Max and Saw that’s probably why Snyder changed it.
In the opening montage of events. There’s a scene with a rich couple walking out of a theater as the hero punches a criminal in the face. Behind the hero is a poster of Batman. This is supposed to say that this was the night Bruce’s parents died but the hero stopped the killer
Mixed things about the HBO series? All reactors I've seen have loved it, as did I. Episode 8 is one of my favourite episodes of any TV show. Highly recommended, but make sure you know how the graphic novel ends slightly differently.
Your point at the end about how eventually the world will "forget" about Dr. Manhattan's "attack" is something the HBO series actually addresses! (Obviously about the squid/alien rather than Manhattan)
However, the world wouldn't need to get tired of waiting for another squid alien attack. Governments would have one heck of an incentive to learn as much as possible about the monster. And it wouldn't take them long to figure out that it was bio-engineered on Earth. There would realistically be no way for Veidt to create a completely original life from with a completely alien biochemistry, complete with a multi-billion year faked evolutionary history. Veidt needed the alien to live long enough to send out its psychic attack. So he needed an actual living being. Which means he'd have to go with what we know works, and that's Terrestrial biochemistry. Which in turn means that anyone analyzing the remains of the squid monster would rapidly realize that it's not actually an alien. And at that point Veidt's plan falls apart with the world's governments blaming an American and probably by extension the American government, for everything, even without Rorschach having kneecapped Veidt's grand plan by giving his journal to a newspaper.
With the movie's version of the ending, I'd think people might get a bit suspicious about who actually did the deed once Veidt starts introducing so many wonderful new technologies based on replicating Dr. Manhattan's powers. It's not like Veidt was ever very shy about letting the world know he has a messiah complex.
I basically consider the HBO Watchmen series to be in it's own separate universe where the 2009 Watchmen movie was a direct adaptation of the graphic novel (including the giant alien squid), and the series in a modern continuation of that reality's timeline.
@@rushmaverick1923 like most modern satire, its a series created by idiots who missed the point of the source material, and instead co-opted the brand to push their own bullshit narrative and agenda.
@@Shiirowtrue
@@Shiirow boohoo no politics in my watchmen is probably the most retarded take possible
"I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me!"
There really isn't a more iconic line from the film.
In the comic, Rorschach's mask is made from a unique fabric with trapped fluid that can change shape based on heat and pressure. It swirls but never mixes - it always stays black and white which is why Rorschach likes it so much. The person who ordered the fabric didn't like it and Rorschach, who worked in the factory that made it, was allowed to take it home where he learned to cut it while keep it sealed by using heated needles, scissors, knives.
You should watch the series, it was great, it follows the comic more closely and follows up on the groundwork built here.
This was super fun! Mostly because Jen loves comic book stuff so much and this is such a unique and deep story/film.
Me? I thought the HBO series was brilliant! BRILLIANT!
I mean, it's Lindelof. The guy is truly a genius. And man... did he ever have something to say with this piece! AND THE CAST! Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Louis Gossett Jr... but MY GOD... Tim Blake Nelson, Jean Smart, and REGINA KING... EFFING PHENOMENAL!!
It'd be cool if you guys took this on... that's what I was thinking as I started typing about the series... but NOW what I'm thinking is, "I think I need a re-watch!"
I don't know if someone has already said this, but my take on the easy password was that Adrian had done that on purpose. He needed someone to know and acknowledge how smart he was, but only after it was too late to stop it.
The Watchmen series is pretty decent. It gives a similar style to the movie, but it continues the story from the graphic novel.
So basically the ending from the book occurred, instead of how they did it in the movie.
This comic is just incredible. The small story embedded in the comic, you can find it animated on youtube by the name of Tales of the black freighter. I think it features Gerard Butler. Anyway great reaction as always.
Edit: Speaking of DC, I don't now what the intension was with this one but, a new comic came out (somewhat recent) featuring a crossover between DC and Watchmen characters, it's called Doomsday Clock.
That part it's on the 3.35hrs movie version which includes all the deleted scenes, along with the Black Freighter comic animated comic book. Doomsday Clock is a continuation to this story, written by Geoff Johns (Infinite Crisis, Blackest Night, Flashpoint, New 52, Rebirth... etc) . It was meant to incorporate the Watchmen to the DC main universe.
Huh ... it was indeed 4 to 6 years ago ... and I thought Doomsday Clock is older (at most early 2000s) ... interesting =O
@@BestAnimeFreak maybe you're confusing it with "Before watchmen"? It was a series of graphic novels published by DC set in the watchmen universe that came out in the early 2000s
Thank you guys for showing my comment in the Comment Of The Day.😊 I knew Jen would like Watchmen and its a interesting thing that Jen's favourite characters are the same as mine. But I do like Rorshach a little bit more than Dr. Manhattan. 😅 This is indeed a very different but powerful superhero movie, with a great story that makes us think about lots of things.
Keep up the good work, guys. Congrats for your new baby. 😊
Can we all just take a moment at just how consistant this channels content is also the speed at which they upload hope Holden and Jen are getting enough time to just chill every now and then appreciate the hard work.
The Watchmen TV show is excellent and it's also just one season one and done as well
Please please please please watch The Watchmen tv show next. It’s one perfect season that wraps this up nicely
The HBO show is absolutely fantastic, I hope y’all watch it. It’s definitely up both of your alleys.
I hope you guys watch the HBO show Watchmen as well. I argue that it adapts the cannon even more by not changing the lore of the og ending as well as progressing the events post watchmen comic that makes sense of the original.
this is probably one of the most thought provoking films I've seen. I remember my dad showing me this and he said he needed to watch it 3 times to FULLY understand every detail.
Edit:
why was there optimus primals face covering one of the military dudes? 😂
The actor actually voiced Optimus Primal in the OG Beast Wars show, took me a sec to figure it out then I was like OHHHHHHH
@@dannyboy6947 oh so that was Gary Chalk??
@@B1PFilms It was!
what timestamp?
Alan Moore wrote an amazing story
Too bad he doesn't like the movie or the show.
Really glad you guys finally got to this movie. Wanted to see the reaction for this. I remember my dad taking my brother and me to see it in theaters and my dad kept pointing at every scene and whispering "it's just like the comics!" Lol he was acting like an excited kid XD
I'd say the most accurate comic to screen translation is still Sin City
The HBO series is a must watch. One of the best limited series in years. Would be good to react to, and only small number of episodes.
Love this movie so much, the directors cut especially.
Underrated movie. Each time I re-watch it I love it more and more. Worth watching the HBO mini series follow up to this.
I have the original 12 issues of Watchmen, sealed and stored.
I love the scene that shows Dr Manhattan’s back story. The switching back and forth between past and present, the prose, and Phillip Glass’ music going wild. So good.
The changed ending gives better motivation for Dr Manhattan to leave, and avoids creating the effects for the psychic octopus. The Outer Limits episode being in the movie is directly from the comic, and it is there because fans pointed out that an Outer Limits episode (Architects of Fear) has a similar plot.
The HBO Watchmen show is incredible and a worthy follow up to the comic. I love this movie, but I’d rather watch the entire sequel miniseries over it any day of the week. Would be into seeing you folks react to it. Only 9 episodes.
The director's cut of Watchmen, which includes the 'comic within the comic' you spoke of earlier in the video is very much worth watching.
"It's Dr. Manhattan, I didn't spend six years in Manhattan Medical School to be called "mister," thank you very much."
Jon Osterman was a physicist so he probably had a doctorate in physics so he was an actual doctor even before he blue himself.
My second favorite Snyder movie behind the masterpiece that is BVS. But man, I will NEVER get tired of how masterfully done the Dr. Manhattan origin sequence is done. Everything is perfect, and using Phillip Glass is a genius stroke!
Finally we know who watches the watchmen
"-that's Sam & Dean's dad". A man of culture, I see.
*Literally the one moment that was completely separate from the comic*
Holden: "That shot was right out of the comic"
Y’all have GOT to watch Watchmen HBO. One of my favorite DC shows.
Great movie! I feel like it's underrated
(Isn't there an extended cut? Not the one with the motion comic spliced in but a longer cut? That's my fav)
Vertigo is a line from DC. They have actually merged the universes together now in a fantastic story that builds up a potential Superman and Dr. Manhattan showdown.
bob dylan singing combined with the intro is by far one of my most favourite sequences in any movie
If you guys rewatch the movie you should try the director's cut. It had several very nostalgic scenes that I think made it deeper and more interesting.
Facts they should have watched this version first
I would absolutely LOVE to see you guys watch the show when you are able to! It’s so so good.
The inclusion of The Outer Limits opening, which was in the GN too, was meant to acknowledge that the idea of creating a common enemy to unite countries on the brink of war was first explored on that show. It was the episode 'Architects of Fear' which aired on Sept. 30, 1963.
Scientists surgically modify one of their own, played by Robert Culp, into an alien to frighten and unite the world.
Hi,Jen and Holden. The watchmen tv serie is based in the comic, not in the movie. You can watch it but the serie showed the squid as the menace in a flashback
the end of the movie makes no sense, the manhattan doctor is "American property", so the USSR would see it as an opportunity to attack, and in the comic it is smarter to show that a threat coming from outside the earth, made the countries rivals team up against a common enemy
I used to pick up about 20 comics per month back in the 80s. Not even sure why I added 'Watchmen' but after issue #1 I was hooked. And the series changed the comic-book world. Remember seeing DC columns afterwards hinting that movie studios were interested and that Sigourney Weaver was rumoured (Silk Spectre I imagine). Then it became known as the 'unfilmable' movie.
Zac did about the best job anybody could have done with this movie and even some of his changes were understandable. Obviously all his money went on FX as the cast was mostly unknown B-list actors (including Negan back then).
I had to leave work to see the first screening of this movie at 11am. Left a post-it note on my computer screen written in light blue hi-lighter. 'Gone to see the Doctor'.
Dr Manhattan's mind is in the future past and present all at the same time (In the comics) in the film he can see the future, the present and the past, but because of something that Manhattan still didn't understand he couldn't see the future , however in the comics he is a Demi-God.
I love this film, but I'd adore seeing you react to the television series as well. It was truly beautiful!
Do the HBO series too! Great follow-up, even if it is closer to the comics.
I think that Snyder did an excellent job, given the space that he had to work in (condensing 12 issues into a single movie); I'd recommend the HBO series (any series that begins with the Tulsa Massacre is okay by me)...
The song in Stranger Things and the Dr. Manhattan monologue aren't the same song but they do come from the same album :)
Koyaanisqatsi
This just makes me want to rewatch the Watchmen series again. It's really really good, continuation from the graphic novel, keeps it's spirit by commenting on contemporary issues, fantastic writing, acting, story. I think you'd really enjoy it
The older I got the more I liked and appreciated this movie.
That's a surprise but definitely a welcome one!
Watchmen is the most decorated comic story/graphic novel out there and literally pathed they way for multi-dimensional story telling (at least in the superhero medium)
This is one of the best opening scenes ever (and also gets slept on). Love this movie.
lol ur wife is funny as hell
Whenever I talk to anyone about Watchmen, I like to point out that the comic was recognized on Time's Top 100 Novels.
Not graphic novels. Novels.
Please watch the TV series.. I'm sure jen would love it, as would you!
The HBO's Watchmen is great, Jen will love it
LETS GOO
Thank you for reacting to such a trailblazing movie !
The HBO series is actually a great watch in my opinion. I'd love for you guys to watch it
The HBO series could have been great, if it weren’t so swallowed up by trying to deliver a message first and a good story second
Nope
Great reaction. You all should definitely watch and react to the Watchmen Series together. It's not that many episodes, but it's REALLY good.
The MUSIC at his narration is sooo GOOOD !
Jen's eyeroll game is on point. 😄 She doesn't use it often but when she does...lethal.
This film could have turned out so much worse
Everyone involved In front and behind the camera did such a fantastic job
I know the ending is a big change but it kinda works for the movie
One of my favourites
Because the script itself is written by David hayter, the movie supposed to have him as rosharch but the project failed because director and producer thought its too dark and unfilmable. Not until David hayter watch 300 and approach snyder to direct this movie. Snyder Who also fans of alan moore said David hayter is far from rosharch in term of looks so he pick Jackie earle haley as rosharch
Its already been said but zach snyder missed the point.
I read the graphic novel in the late 90's & loved it. As far as visuals in the movie, Dave Gibbons (the original artist on the book) was a consultant on the film. Also, I adopted a beagle/border collie/blue heeler mix in 2007 & named him Rorschach.
Fun fact- the actress Carla Gugino as Sally Jupiter in this movie was also the voice of Kryptonian A.I. in Snyder's Man of Steel movie.
Love the movie but gotta say the HBO show is even better, so well done!
I don't think so. Movie is easily still miles better. There's more weight to this movie and the story telling is way grounded. The show was amazing as well But it's not as memorable as the movie was.
Lmao not it’s started maybe better it ended shit especially with its shit message
