Adrian was just about as pitiful as could be in this movie. He seemed cartoony and like the villian almost from his first scene. It played like he was jealous of Doc Man. Now anyone that read the book knows this is not the case and their last scene together in the book, but was left out of the crap movie, is one of their best character momments. Even with the bastard script an actor with better screen presence like the rumored Tom Cruise or Jude Law would have been more convincing.<BR/><BR/>O.K. time to nitpick since some supposed comic fans seem to like this craptacular movie. <BR/><BR/>-gore- not a problem, the comic was pretty gory, some people might want to read it again. The only time I had a problem with it was the mugging scene, cause the focus was on the fight and not the LOL ending where it looked like it was the most action either of them had had in about a decade ;) movie didn't get this across as well cause the audience was focused on the fight instead. <BR/><BR/>-little details for "fans". O.k. Snyder probably thought he was pleasing fans with things like Ozy's cat at the end or the newstand guy and the comic kid hugging at the end. But instead it just came off as him trying too hard to and most likely confussed normal movie go'ers. <BR/><BR/>-Before the jail scene, anything to do with Rorschach out of costume was pointless. If they are going to leave out his crazy babble about the end of the world with the news stand guy, whats the point of having a random guy with a "end of the world sign" notice the bad guy at the funeral. Then have the same guy get into it with Rorschach..... hmmm big mystery there. I remember the first time reading Watchmen and seriously laughing when his identity was revealed.<BR/><BR/>The comic was perect and should have been left alone.<BR/><BR/>Pete273Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586138.post-21188080819812820032009-03-11T01:28:00.000-03:002009-03-11T01:28:00.000-03:00I actually didn't mind the change with the Rorscha...I actually didn't mind the change with the Rorschach/Kidnapper scene.

Then again, I like most comicbook movies simply because it's cool to imagine that stuff being real for a couple of hours.<BR/><BR/>That sex scene totally wishes it was a porno, but the actress was hot, so my only complaint is that it wasn't long enough ;)<BR/><BR/>Might go see it again, and will pick the book up in maybe a month, once the movie's faded a little. Finally, if I'm not mistaken, there was no reference to Moore in the credits?

And Rachelle, I can't agree with you about the acting; Patrick Wilson did a very nice job with Dan Dreiberg (one of the easier, saner roles) but Matthew Goode was terrible as Ozymandias. People who've read the book will, I think, find him too aloof; people who haven't will find the murder-mystery angle undermined by the fact that there's one major character whose motives and demeanour seem like, well, a conventional movie villain.Garnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444108192571431505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586138.post-20957252200936713642009-03-08T23:11:00.000-03:002009-03-08T23:11:00.000-03:00I was amused by a couple of the changes - leaving ...I was amused by a couple of the changes - leaving out the reference to Dan having Devo hair or the Manhattan Transfer but having super duper period soundtrack.

Take for instance the mars issue or Lauries big spoiler on Mars. They both worked 100000X's better with the pannel layout than they did on film. Some people are saying how cool the 80's music was, but it's simpley there to try to make it cool. The quotes at the end of each issue are just one of many things that they did in the comic that made it perfect that they could never do in a movie.... and are way cooler and make it better on multiple readings/viewings than some crap 80's music that was semi-cool the 1st 5 seconds it played on your first viewing.<BR/><BR/>LAST but not least (and I'm sure this will piss you off to no end), the best part of the joke of a new ending was when the whole garbage re-invention was over and the audience got to listen to a new My Chemical Romance song as they left :) <BR/><BR/>Pete273Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586138.post-9895540604315425442009-03-08T05:44:00.000-03:002009-03-08T05:44:00.000-03:00Of the dozens of reviews I've read so far, yours i...Of the dozens of reviews I've read so far, yours is by FAR the closest to my own opinion that I've read.

That one was the worst offender for sure. The original scene from the book is far less gory, but far more disturbing.
