great movie in theory. i think i would have had a much better time view it if it wasn't rampant with swearing....almost to the point of ridiculousness. i'm talking beyond the departed ridiculous....and there is also a really retarded rape scene that leaves your feeling really really awkward.

but other than that its solid....

[Kolzilla41]

I love the way you end your review with" other than that its solid"

That made me laugh

[RubberMallet]

it really was. like i'm sure i'll like the TBS version alot better than the theatre version....and dont' get me wrong i dont' care about language for the most part....but this is ridiculous it was unnecessary...

Bradford Wright described Watchmen as "Moore's obituary for the concept of heroes in general and superheroes in particular." Putting the story in a contemporary sociological context, Wright wrote that the characters of Watchmen were Moore's "admonition to those who trusted in 'heroes' and leaders to guard the world's fate." He added that to place faith in such icons was to give up personal responsibility to "the Reagans, Thatchers, and other 'Watchmen' of the world who supposed to 'rescue' us and perhaps lay waste to the planet in the process". Moore specifically stated in 1986 that he was writing Watchmen to be "not anti-Americanism, [but] anti-Reaganism," specifically believing that "at the moment a certain part of Reagan's America isn't scared. They think they're invulnerable." While Moore wanted to write about "power politics" and the "worrying" times he lived in, he stated the reason that the story was set in an alternate reality was because he was worried that readers would "switch off" if he attacked a leader they admired. Moore stated in 1986 that he "was consciously trying to do something that would make people feel uneasy."

Irony is great, isn't it?

i had nightmares about the floppy blue hog...

Hah! I just saw that the guy who plays Rorschach, and who played a nasty child-molestor in a movie I just watched last week, is Kelly from Bad News Bears. I don't think he's grown an inch since Bad News Bears, just gotten older and creepy-looking.

A few people I talked to said it was more like a soft core Cinemax type porn in many scenes of the movie. Anyone else seen it? Where they just exaggerating? I heard there was quite a bit of nudity, a rape scene, and over the top swearing!

Man shoots himself during "Watchmen" movie

Eugene (KMTR) – A man shot himself to death in a Eugene movie theater just after midnight Monday morning.

Police say about 10 patrons were in an auditorium at Regal Cinemas watching the movie “Watchmen.” About midway through the film some of the moviegoers told the manager they heard a “popping” noise like a gunshot. A 24-year-old man was found in the rear of the auditorium with a gunshot wound to the head.

Police say the man shot himself and was dead when they arrived.

The patron closest to the man was sitting two rows away.

i agree the rape scene was really really awkward, so was the 30 minute sex scene haha, i thought the action was cool but it just wasnt done right
