very long film but enjoyable. I wonder how man times the same group of people wrote negative comments about this film.
It was awesome, but if you're expecting it to be like batman and all the other "superhero" movies then don't watch it.
worst movie of all time I wanted to go to the bathroom and drown myself in the sink the whole time.
don't watch. this is a rental. and the movie is too long.
For those people who are saying that Watchmen was by far the most boring movie they have ever seen, then you are obviously not smart enough to see that the film was not meant to be a gratuitous and mindless action movie. Watchmen is not supposed to be all flash and dazzle like every other superhero movie, it is supposed to show the flaws that superheros have as well as the sick view that the human race cannot have peace and democrasy all over without some form of death. The average moviegoer woudl't be able to see that on first glance, but however, if you read the novel first then it is easier for most to understand the complex plot of the story. I told everybody that I know who wanted to
My anticipated excitement for this movie had me going to the theatre on opening night, March 6, 2009, to see it. Much to my chagrin, I was very, very disappointed. The good news...special effects! The bad news...the list is too long but I'll start with minimal to no character development of who and how the Watchmen came to be. Horrible soundtrack, weak plot, too many various storylines trying to draw a conclusion that ends up being meaningless. Blatent nudity of men and women just for the sake of it and the most graphic gratuitous violence that puts Braveheart to shame. It's not you're standard comic hero, "we're the good guys out to kill the bad guys, so love us and consider us h
Biggest turd ever. Waist of 3 hours. Only good part was starting fighting scene.
The best adaptation we are going to get. This film is sick! Honestly all the haters can go back to the Jonas Bros movie and piss off!
A great movie... i can see how some people say they did not like it... my g/f didn't... it a movie for guys... did any guy liked the movie sex in the city its the same but for guys
Honestly, I find this movie is totally Awesome! For the whole 3 hours, I didnt find it to be 3 hours at all! The story goes by really quick and everything is connected together so flawlessly! I don't see how you can get bored by this like some people have commented before. For me I didnt even realize its 3 hours passed by when the movie has ended! Plus for the nudity part, I mean come on people, have u seen Friday the 13th? I wonder where are u ppl when that movie is 100% about Nudity! So why u complaining about this movie now? It is rated as 18+ to begin with! That is what you should expect from such movies! Geez, the nudity part is not even clearly shown anyways. Whatever, in the end I wou
THE BLUE MAN IS AWESOME!!!
slow boaring, sencles sex
Not particularly interesting or really engaging. Almost every scene with Dr. Manhattan involves displaying his penis, too, which is a bit much. Motivations were unclear. Ultimately, if you're not a long-standing fan-boy, rent this.
That movie was a big waste of time and money .I would have asked for my money back but it ran till 1.30 in the morning .!!!
Great movie, loved it alot. would go and see it again.
This is the worst movie Ive ever seen-a couple actually got up and left half way through and I wanted to scream "Take me with you" At least I was distracted throughout the movie by the blue guy's floppy thingy. Some special effects were ok but people were groaning durng some of the graphic violence-the dog chewing on the murdered six yr old girl's leg was just revolting. Definately not for kids
DON'T WATCH IT! The whole entire time I just wanted to leave.
This movie started slow but it picked up like crazy and deleivered to the hype, GREAT MOVIE!
one of the worst movies ever. I will never get those 3 hours back!
the BEST comic adaptation yet!Faithful to the graphic novel. Much better than any Batman or Spiderman. Loved it.
I woulda given this movie a ZERO, but im not allowed to on the scale! 3Hours of my life i will never get back...SAD!
absolutely awesome. the graphics were incredible. AS for the "Happy Faces",I will never see them the same again.
It was awsome!!! If you went into seeing this because its it was a "hero" movie like batman or spiderman then you are way off. First of all its not for kids, secondly its based on a "graphic novel" so its somewhat similar to Sin City in violence/nudity way. I can understand why people thought it was boring becase they havent read the book. This movie stays soooo true to the book, line for line!!Now I heard theres gunna be a sequil or prequil (I hope not it will screw up the movie for me) Beebz!!!
Boring beyond words. It should have a disclaimer that extreme boredom will result from viewing
Longest, most pointless superheroless super hero movie I've seen! Lots of plot development for characters you don't even know if you're supposed to care about. It was like they wanted to include every detail from the graphic novel. It didn't help that the emo guy sitting in front of me had really bad BO!
farking fantastic flick - I was engaged the entire time! Maybe if you aren't into this kind of movie it might not be for you, but I totally loved it!
I'm amazed by all the people saying this was a boring movie. This isn't spider-man. This was a story written for grown-ups not 7 year olds. It's dark, dirty and real. The characters are deaply flawed individuals, I mean, what kind of mentality does it take to wear a mask and become a vigilante?? As for people complaining about the sex...sorry to say this, but sex is dirty, sweaty and nasty...at least it is if you do it right. This movie is for people capable of taking the time to TRUELY think about life and the choices people make. If you want mindless action and no deapth go watch a mainstream superhero movie. Watchmen is NOT mainstream and we need more movies like this. I'm sick o
What the hell is with all the bad reviews?! This movie was Great and Original! not ur typical hollywood suphero like superman or iron man ect..This focuses more on the characters than any thing else, and it takes more of a brain than most childish hero movies out there. And who cares about the Blue dudes shlong hanging out its CGI are u all homophobes? 4/5 stars Great Flick if u like Sin City or 300
Great Epic Film! Very nice to see how every watchmen character show their personal side. Can't wait to buy the dvd!
This campy, edgy, philosophical, cheesy, violently ironic, superbly calculated action-suspense/romance flick may be hard to stomach for some, but it certainly deserves the attention. It has comedic qualities that interweave throughout the intellectual & moral fabric of a script of seemingly absurd yet constantly evolving 'super-heros.' Highly entertaining, but perhaps not for the faint of heart.
Boring. I really thought it'd get better as it went on. I should've asked for my money back.
People wanted black and white and this certainly is not. I enjoyed the fact that this movie operated within the grey areas, whether it be the violence/sexuality and morality. You'll have to work to understand this, but you'll also be rewarded for doing so.
This movie was so boring. I rather have spent my saturday night at a bingo hall with the crazy old grandmothers then at the movie theatre. Who ever said this was like 300...no...it's nothing liket hat movie...there was a few scenes that borrowed the animation style but the rest was garbage. The best parts were in the trailer clips. This movie reminds me of that show where all the cast off super heros with useless powers got together to save that city. It had that guy from night of museum in it and peewee herman with the super power of gas...only that was supposed to be a spoof of super hero movies that sucked...this is actually as bad as that show but they tried to make this movie
INTERMINABLE!! Near the end of the movie, one of the characters said "some things never end" at which point a voice from the audience said "including this movie". Boring, boring. Nearly fell asleep.
Like 300, this movie stayed true to the graphic novel. Homage to Moore's work despite the fact that DC will making a killing off this film. Worth every minute!
A great attempt of putting Watchmen to film. A great tribute to Moore's work despite the fact the DC will making a killing off this film.
This is one smart and fascinating action movie that makes you think. Something that Hollywood usually avoids doing. The opening credits alone are worth it. Great story, amazing effects and interesting and complicated characters. Don't listen to the people that wanted a mindless action flick, this movie has so much more to offer.
Really enjoyed the movie. Solid film... probably the best of the year so far. Little stretched out and long in some parts, but the great action sequences and storyline made up for it. Could've cut out a bit of the porno though.
Nudity? The only ones freaking out about nudity are uptight men. This movie was lean on the gratutious breast scenes every other action movie is famous for. Does anyone really think men would be complaining about excessive nudity if it were a woman who was naked in the film? So, a very unsexualized, naked male is shown throughtout the film is a bad thing. This is a great, visually awesome film that deserves better than reviews from uptight dudes who can't handle seeing a flacid penis.
Dear Dr. Manhattan, please put some clothes on! I didn't pay $12.50 to see you parade around for 3 hours completely naked. That may work for the graphic novel, but it's just weird in the movie. Thank you.
Great Movie Kept me in my seat for almost 3 hours!
First of all read the novel first before making stupid comments
I spent $15 to watch a piece of crap!
BORING! Even the action scenes are boring...and there are only a few of them!
Longest 3 hours of my life!!! Horrible, horrible, horrible!!! Don’t go! Not even worth renting! If you want to punish someone take them.
Felt like a superhero porno. Too much nudity, senseless sex scenes. Story was jumping around so much that it made it boring & confusing to follow.
wow, what a bad movie! What was with the plot? Nothing happens in this movie. I kept waiting and waiting for something cool to happen but it never came. One of the worst movies I have ever viewed and I have seen hundreds of movies.
IT WAS SUCH A BORING MOVIE! The special effects were awesome, but the story line itself was mediocre. I don't have a problem with nudity, violence, etc, but if the story line sucks, the whole thing sucks! Listen what the few of us have already said "Save your money!".
complex to understand..would need to see it again to understand it more. would be better in 3D.
I liked the story like but I felt the movie could have been a lot better. There wasn't enough action in this movie as I thought there would be. Kind of a disappointment since I was really looking forward to this film. You shouldn't waste your time and money at the theatres though, stream it online or something.
