Boring...boring...boring. Next week the boxoffice for this movie will fall like a stone.
if i could give this movie 0 stars i would. i fell asleep. it was the most horrible movie i have ever seen and it was so long i thought my brain was going to shrivel up and die. never ever watch it.
AMAZING MOVIE
boring..
What a waste of money and time. All of the three friends that went with us almost fell asleep.
I think it's pretty funny how just about everybody who put this movie down and called it "the worst movie ever" did not read the graphic novel beforehand. You MUST read the novel first. Then you will truly understand the atmosphere and what was being conveyed. That said, I thought it never strayed far from the source material and was a worthy recreation of a written masterpiece.
I thought this movie was fantastic, it offered a more realistic look at what it would mean to be a super hero in the fabric in everyday life, what happens to them when they stop, do they ever love, and what it truely means to be a hero. No fancy gimmicks, no high powered special effect, just a great complex and layered story from start to finsh. A for flick to watch and appreciate
I hate to admit it, but this film is a dud. 1 star.
great movie wish they added more stuff from the comic in it though oh well was still a great movie
Long and boring
An entertaining and intensely interesting story that keeps you gripped from start to finish.
Yawn!
possibly one of the worst movies i have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definetely a male flick. Plenty of gore, insane cruelty, violence. Great tech effects (hence my 2 stars). Carla Giugino, what shampoo do you use? Your hair doesn't tangle or ever gets dirty! Wow! The times I closed my eyes to miss the gore, I kind of fell asleep. Makes Clockwork Orange seem a stroll in the park. What next?
Worst movie i have seen in a long time. Too many flashbacks...horrible acting....at least 5 or more people walked out during the movie. DO NOT RECCOMEND!!!!!!!!!!!
I ignored a previous comment that said its the worst waste of 3hrs and totally regret that .. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
Very different from your typical hero movie. I did not have any troubles understanding the movie w/o the comic, however, if you aren't a fan of blood, gore, and long sex scenes. Then it might not be for you, but overall it was pretty good.
Lots of character development, making super heros more like humans. I liked the story and the action scenes, overall a good movie with great storyline, etc. It was sad, disturbing, dark and nonetheless good ! Not for kids, lots of sexuality & nudity, violence (some very graphic scences) disturbing content, language, and the overall tone of the film is dark.! Good movie tho : ) !
Bad Movie - way, way too long
read the novel. no, srsly. also no children.
I didn't want to go see this movie but I was dragged by my boyfriend! I had no expectations for this movie but I was blown away. It had meat to it. Very political and had action and it was funny and just totaly blew me away!
Not a bad movie, but also not very good. Story just isn't very compelling or engaging. And takes a very long time for a very simple/shallow plot.
Seems to be such a diverse attitude about this film, that no consensus is possible. Chances are that if you are interested enough to check out the reviews, that you should see it. Looks like a love or hate situation to me. That being the case, it must have something seriously good going on. All depends on what someone goes in, expecting. This is obviously an audience-mind participation flick. If you don't want to engage your brain, don't bother seeing it.
If you didn't understand it, then you didn't read the novel. I almost get the reasoning behind the 80's music, but the sex in the spaceship and music didn't match. The music with the credits didn't match. That helped ruin the movie. If you want to see a great adaptation from a comic book graphic novel to the big screen then go for it. If you didn't read it, you likely will not understand it and then not like it. They should have just made a movie with Rorschach or Dr. Manhattan or The Comedian, but not altogether.
Worst movie ever, wish i got my money back, and should send the Producer an invoice my valuable time cost that was wasted!!!! The blue dude sucked! The only good "hero" dies the rest suck.
i liked it but it was so llllloooooonnnnnnnnnggg!!
People saying this movie isn't for children... well it is rated R for a reason. Maybe next time you might want to actually USE the rating system. Best movie since 300. Zack can do no wrong.
I haven't read the comic but man, as a 17 year old male who is interested in science this movie hit the spot. I recommend it for anyone who has read the graphic novel or who has an appetite for AWESOMENESS!!!... For those of you who complain about losing three hours of your precious life, what else would you have been doing, curing cancer? get over it, at least you know whether you liked it or not.
THE MOVIE SUCKS DO NOT WASTE UR MONEY, THE TRAILER FOOLS U, DO NOT GET FOOLED,THIS IS NOT A SUPER HERO MOVIE DIS IS CRAP I EXPECTED MUCH MUCH MORE I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED.2 THUMBS DOWN!!!
WARNING: THIS MOVIE IS MADE FOR PEOPLE THAT ENJOYED THE GRAPHIC NOVEL, THE FANS. IF YOU DIDN'T READ THE BOOK DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE EXPLAINED TOO YOU.
I fell asleep. 3hrs lost. Again Hollywood fails.
I really enjoyed this movie. It was pretty amazing actually, the grahics, the action, the storyline it was all good. The only thing was that it was a bit long, but it was entertaining so it didn't feel like it! IT wasn't no Dark Knight, but it was good! Go see it
You should love this movie, it is what movie making is about telling a story about good over evil and the choices one must make in order to obtain salvation and peace. 5/5 It was great, this from a true movie fan not just some one who needs to be entertained.
Horribly boring and pointlessly long movie. Avoid at all costs.
Perhaps this is a like or hate movie but for me it was one of the best flicks I've seen in years. It is a "complete" movie with superb graphics, solid action scenes, a bit of sex, and an incredible balance between realism and fantasy.
you have to read the novel to really apreciat the movie. all these people giving it bad reviews just dident read the novel. the movie is amazing just like the book the gore,sex and story was true to the book. one of the greatest comic movies ever. 5 stars
Excellent movie. Great plot, great acting, and a realistic depiction of the type of super heroes there would be in the world that we live in.
Like watching paint dry.
This movie has set the benchmark for all future book/graphic novel adaptations. Amazing work by Zack Snyder. Literally the graphic novel came to life on the screen, sometimes panel for panel. Outstanding work! Bravo Zack, Bravo.
Definitely loyal to the graphic novel with changes that don't detract from the story.Retains the depth of the original.Was fun spotting scenes compsed exactly as they were in the book.And definitely worth seeing twice...or so.
A very long, boring movie. Not what I expected and a lot of violence. Children should not go to see this.
Seen the movie, but my dad walked out 40 minutes before it ended. I liked the characters, the action sequences were good (there's not a WHOLE lot) and the storyline (despite the fact it was confusing & i never even seen the whole film) was good. Some parts were boring and stupid, like the John guy (and maybe they never needed to show his penis the entire time). But, from what i seen of the movie I enjoyed it because of how they all reunite after so many years, but i know not everyone will like it. Because i never seen the ending, i can give it a 3 (which may vary up or down after the ending). Also, it is very violent with alot of nudity and not for young, un-mature children!
you have to like flicks not movies, im sick of atcion movies being called great, case in point anything with hareson ford in it except star wars, or stallon, they cant act.
Ok, to all the people who are giving this movie bad reviews, you have had your brain parked in neutral for so long by superhero movies (Spiderman, Batman, etc) that are long on action and short on story that when a movie comes along that is the opposite, you immediately think that it's "too long." Get your mind out of neutral and think about this movie and maybe you'll actually understand what the story is truly about, cause its a little deeper than superhero beats up badguy after he hurts someone close to the superhero.
This is a type of film that adults will understand. Not a film for senseless teenagers, being one myself, I enjoyed this movie. One reason, I read the graphic novel, even if I did not read the novel I still would have understood the film. Yes, it is long but it needs to develope the characters and story, sorry if you are all used to generic 90 minute teen comedies (that are not even funny) this is a MOVIE. A movie that makes you think, an inteligent film for inteligent people. The sex scens are not pointless because the people are in love, thats what people do. Effects great, acting great, directing great just great go and see this film if you want to think for a change.
I love all the passionately conflicting responses to this film. It is the event art film of the year; unfairly marketed to fool casual viewers into thinking its a mere popcorn superhero movie. Its MUCH more. Brilliant, like the book. See it.
It maybe faithful to the graphic novel, but it's still a boring movie.
I love comic book movies, but I need likable heroes. These are not. The story is depressing and bleak and drawn out. The violence is over the top graphic and the conclusion. What was that??? Not a good movie.
This movie was a complete waste of my time. i cant believe some people are giving anything more than 1 star!!!!!
too long of a movie...going back and forth to confusing fro younger viewers,,
