Well, faithful to parts of the book, anyway. There's a hell of a lot they had to leave out, of course.
Yeah there are quite a few omissions but I think the whole New Frontiersman storyline and the Tales of the Blackfreighter are going to be packaged together in the directors cut. Certainly everything that made it into the movie (apart from the end) looks and feels damn near identical to the panels in the novel.
They were just meant to be human strength, however a 'comic universe' sort of human strength similar, I guess, to Sin City. The only one who had powers was Dr. Manhattan.
Care to elaborate? Or am I missing the internet sarcasm?
yeh was too loud which is a shame because they have amazing sound at the imax.. i expected better colour coming from the imax too, seemed sorta dull and dark in places.. still very clear pic though.
Yo Henry... just noticed your avatar. Nice. Donald Duck Dunn! Blues Brothers rule."John can give you cancer, and'll turn into a car"
no serious, i felt they tried to just fit abit of everything, filling the story line and movie with crap that wasnt needed, the last 40mins each scene felt like an ending only to end up going to another. Graphics were over done and all round was disappointed...
Big difference between a book and a movie though. You can put as much detail as you like into a book and skip around with the plot far more than with a movie.
Spike, there's no point even worrying about it. We knew if they brought a literary (and yes everyone, that word is warranted) work like Watchmen to the big screen, all the people who wouldn't get it, don't understand it, expect a film with the depth of Spiderman, seeing it because they're with friends who pulled them along, etc... They'll be watching it.
The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
