The ending still sucks and completely misses the main point the comics had.
The cartoon sucks.
I would go for dc or tc.
Movie is shallow. Pretty aged fx. No real depth.
It's like watching a 3 hour uwe boll movie. No soul. Just pretty carbon copy shots. And still managing to fuck up the ending.
I'd rather download the motion comic and get the experience that way. Movie is pretty. But it's shit.
I dont agree. I love the movie
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
No idea but yeah the DC is the best cut. The Black Freighter stuff is better experienced on its own.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
no, it really doesn't. its stupid, an emotionless god who demonstrates time and again he doesnt care one way or another, is suddenly seen as a believable villain to the entire world...
and even then, an enemy that demonstrates he can be anywhere at any time and attack, and fears nothing... yet chooses to go away into voluntary exile? If he actually did intend to wipe out the world, he'd do so immediately... exactly how long would anyone believe that threat to remain credible? My guess is that after a year (TOPS), the governments of the world go 'well.. if he was going to wipe us all out, he'd have done it by now', and then we all go back to being panicky douchebags afraid of each other, rendering the entire plan pointless.
nah, the unified threat of another lifeform that was DIFFERENT to us, that are currently ON THE WAY (with no known timetable for arrival), not only made a lot of sense given the time period the story was set, but i thought it was actually damn clever to unite the world.
Manhattan is potentially a huge threat from the outside perspective, but he's a terrible LONG term threat.

The fact that Manhattan doesn't care about humanity isn't known by the public. Same as his decision to leave (which he was already planning to). So the public believe the threat is real.
About things going back to usual business after a year: you can say the exact same about the graphic novel. "Oh look, no aliens attacked us anymore since that one time in NY, fuck it!"
Also, you seem to forget Rorschach's diary.
Despite the flaws the movie has, I really don't get the hate for the ending. To me it feels more like it's just because who directed it.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

its not just about the people, its also about the government, and the major powers (especially the US government) would definitely know something was amiss with manhattan suddenly becoming a threat. You could assume that everything we know about manhattans manner, foreign governments would know as well... plus, to be fair, i think given his tv interview, the public would have an insight into the guys behaviour and indifference as well. The plan was very much about governments and their wars/aggressions as it was about the common people...
disagree that you could say the same about an alien invasion. In the comics, the alien invasion was a coming threat, that people expected would take time to arrive and thus would necessitate planning and a uniting of the world. The world would already know nothing was likely to happen with manhattan if an attack wasn't immediate because he was already a threat that was here and now and there was nothing that could stop him.
the diary is irrelevant regardless of which version (comic or movie) you discuss, since we're talking about the intended plan, not rorschach unexpected undermining it.
Snyder has met with HBO to develop a Watchmen TV series. No clue if the idea is to make a prequel, adaptation or sequel of the comic book (or his movie). Also no idea if talks have been positive. All we know is that the meeting took place.

That could be an interesting idea. I'm not familiar with the comic book, but the movie left a positive impression on me, it was something different from the usual superhero tripe and didn't feel stale like most of the Marvel movies do these days. HBO would be the cherry on top of the cake.
A show like that with HBO budget and production values? Bring it on! Actually, I feel Watchmen, with its somewhat different take on the genre would be the perfect superhero show for HBO.
Let's hope it'll turn out to be something more than just a rumour.
The motion comic was 5+ h long, but the live action film was 3h long (in its Director's Cut) and did manage to present the core story (the first 2/3rds are pretty faithful in terms of what one can keep and what they have to leave behind, really).
If they too make it into a 3h film, in 2 1.5h parts, it can work. And bundle it with the Black Freighter as that's already made.
Get The Dark Knight Returns writer and director to make it.

The second part of the forwarded questionnaire asked respondents which of several titles from DC Comics and its Vertigo imprint they owned or were familiar with. Among the titles asked about were Moore’s classic 1980s run on the horror series Swamp Thing and his seminal Batman graphic novel, The Killing Joke. Additional titles include the Batman story arc “A Death In The Family,” the graphic novel Batman: The Long Halloween and the series Gotham Academy, the Superman ElseWorlds story Red Sun, the video game-inspired Injustice and their Scooby-Doo science-fiction horror genre mashup Scooby Apocalypse. DC’s Vertigo line was represented on the survey with Fables, Lucifer, iZombie, Hellblazer, Preacher and Sandman.

Keep the people who did killing joke away.
Keep the director for TDKR away.
Lousy animations. Horrendous pacing. Fucking boring as god fuck all.
If they're going for a quick cash grab they'll pull a killing joke and fuck it all up.
The motion comic is best. They should just re-create that with higher res scans. Higher quality V/O. And better animation.
The motion comic has inherently a lot worse pacing, because it's not a film. It's 25minsomething chapters. So, no, that's not the answer, unless they are making it into a TV series (which they are not).
As a film, neither the structure nor the pacing, nor the length of the motion comic would work.

"Like Nothing On Earth"
Warner Bros. Entertainment has premiered the teaser trailer (in 4K) of its upcoming animated two-film adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ iconic 1986 graphic novel “Watchmen”.
The CG-rendered new take is rated R and is being described as a “faithful animated adaptation” of the work.
What a cheap waste of production. Is it identical to the movie visuals because they need to perpetually "make" something from the watchmen novel every few years to retain the stolen publishing rights from Moore?
It looks very much like the graphic novels, but that makes it completely pointless as well. At least the live action version had live action. Just read the GN.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.
All the previous DC Animated movies looked pretty good art wise, so I am disappointed that what is probably their biggest title most people wanted a proper retelling of, and this is the art style they went with.
