Poll: Your veiw on Watchmen

[TheBurningFist]

I think that for some reason the movie made me like the comedian allot more,

maybe it was him Flamethrowering people to death Just cant be done justice on paper.

well he's also supposed to be portrayed as a nazi-esque personality...

Spoiler: ZOMG SPOILERS

The characters were entertaining (especially rorshach, or however you spell his name) but the ending seemed kinda . . . hollow. So shitloads of people die and the silk spectre and the guy who's name has escaped me just shrug and say 'oh well' and go and have a normal life?
While I'm not exactly a fan of sickeningly happy endings, what the hell is up with it?

 

[TheBurningFist]

that wasn't the ending... it's more grimmer than that!

I admit I saw the movie first and had entered the cinema with no idea what to expect to I got to say the movie I saw was a masterpiece. Then I read the comic and I think I like them both equally.

Same here, but I think the comic was actually much better. Not that the movie was bad, it's just that the book was better.

I liked them both - but the comic is superior just because it has more content and it explains things a little more.

While I agree to a certain extent, I think the movie did the ending better if you know what I mean

Spoiler: the ending

Really... a giant squid?

Whoops, sorry. I'd kinda assumed that anybody in here would have already seen watchmen and forgot about it.

Very good graphic novel, and so long as you have read the novel first, great film as well

I turned the page and instantly loved the entire comic! total WTF and suddenly all the subplots made sense. The movie did a more realistic ending.

Because the comic was masterpiece, and the film went down the 'badass' road in order to appease stupids.

Loved the thing to pieces, just mega pissed off that the UK misses out on the Director's Cut, o well time to fire up ye olde Torrent machine!

I thought the movie made it go down the reality road?
