I'm going to say it: I liked 'V for Vendetta,' but I'll grant you that I never read the book. Having said that, I do agree that 'From Hell', 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' and 'Watchmen' were all steaming piles of poo. And so was '300.'

Just walked out halfway through Angels & Demons (Cinema Talk Post)

This is why I only watch obscure art house films from Bulgaria shot on expired film stock using pin hole tin cans.

Cinema is dead.

Seriously bar seeing Watchmen and ridiculing it I have no interest in any new releases so far. Sure those upcoming Sci-fi flicks look interesting but the best Sci-fi films seem to have been made already.

I mean I can't even count the amount of times I watched 2001 and Bladerunner.

Watchmen - Rorshach: You're locked in here with me!

>> ^Sylvester_Ink:
I thought the movie was pretty decent and all, but one thing I object to is that Rorschach was never this sadistically brutal in the GN. In the GN he uses the cooking fat as a quick way to defend himself, but here he uses it as a coup-de-grace that's really unnecessary.
The same goes for the flashback scene of the child rapist. He does not outright murder the guy, as he does in the film, but provides him with a more fitting punishment.
And finally, there's his killing of Big Figure. In the GN he drowns the guy because that's the quickest and most efficient method he has on hand. In the movie . . . well, although we didn't see it, it was certainly unnecessary.
That's what made Rorschach a likable character in the comic. He was dispensing justice in his own way, but here it seems to be a slaughter he savors, and that makes him less likable a character.
Ah well, enough from me.


Weird, I'll have to reread the GN to say for sure, its been a few months, but I remember the whole thing with Big Figure going down about the same way. I at least remember laughing at the blood leaking out from under the bathroom door. I thought this scene and the one with the pedophile murderer being fairly close. Maybe I read into it a bit differently.

All and all I was impressed by the movie, it seemed to stay fairly true to the GN aside from obvious time issues(no guy floating around on dead bodies in a GN series for starters), and the complete lack of tentacled beast at the end.
