Funny People – Movie Review

03 Aug 2009 14:02:54 PDT

Written by Marc Eastman
There’s a joke in Watchmen which Rorschach enters into his journal. It’s an idea that’s been around forever, but it’s summed up well in the quick delivery of a none-too-funny joke. Basically – A man goes to a doctor and complains that he’s depressed. The doctor says the cure is quite simple...

Yes, that’s Gambit. Shut up, I’m a Gambit fangirl.) My moviegoing companion, not a comics person but yet the friend who’s accompanied me to every comic movie I’ve seen in the last year, enjoyed Wolverine more than she did Watchmen. I don’t know if I’d go that far–or perhaps, if the metric is “en...

Written by Christopher Campbell
What is worse about the now-infamous Watchmen sex scene (watch it here), the distracting soundtrack or the explosive metaphor at the climax? Even if intended to be funny, and regardless of its (more-subtle) appearance in the graphic novel, the fire blast as stand-in for ejaculation is...

Opinion: Watchmen, A View Without Preconceptions

09 Mar 2009 09:27:23 PDT

Written by Henry Chamberlain
Fortunately, the reality is that there is a graphic novel. It came first and it was written by Alan Moore. The reason that he will not support the movie, despite what Lane would try to imply, is that he does not support Hollywood. Getting past preconceptions, when I look at Watchmen, I see a movi...

Review: Watchmen

09 Mar 2009 02:07:10 PDT

Written by Gene
Rorschach is my all-time favorite character from the story, and he could not have been cast better, same with the Comedian. Malin Ackerman who played the Silk Specter II fell short of good, but I have always thought that character was the weakest in the entire story.

Written by orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com)
All that being said, I love this movie. Snyder and screenwriters David Hayter and Alex Tse have managed to approximate the dense plotting of Moore’s original graphic novel. When characters come to blows, the fight sequences are well-choreographed and the blood and guts on the screen don’...

Opinion: Yeah, So, I Saw That Watchmen Movie

06 Mar 2009 20:12:07 PST

Written by Brad Curran
Patrick Wilson was also great as Nite Owl (even if he gets saddled with some heavy melodrama at times; to be fair, the original may go too far the other way). I was also impressed with what Jeffrey Dean Morgan did with the Comedian. He was able to make the necessary impression in a short period of...

Opinion: Slate’s Watchmen Article Fails

05 Mar 2009 10:30:35 PST

Written by Sarah Jaffe
Much praised for its “realistic” take on superheroes, Watchmen made the point that superheroes, realistic or otherwise, were beside the point. Its costumed do-gooders are retired, impotent, or insane, and they generally do more harm than good.

Watchmen Proves The Cold War Is An Alien World [Watchmen Review]

Written by Charlie Jane Anders
As almost anyone reading this knows, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons published Watchmen back in 1985, and it revolutionized superhero comics forever. I re-read a chunk of my copy the other night, and had to force myself to stop reading and get to sleep. Even 24 years later, the graphic novel sizz...

Watchmen: First UK review

13 Feb 2009 13:56:12 PST

Written by Michael Moran
Now Watchmen has no campy legacy to dispel. The characters, although derived from some second-string characters DC comics picked up in the Eighties, are Alan Moore originals. The only baggage they have is what Moore gave them. And boy, do they have baggage.

25 Nov 2008 18:24:04 PST

Written by beeslo
Hey, so remember that review of Watchmen I did…like yesterday? Remember how I said, it would be cool if Alan Moore had made some more back story concerning the partnership of Rorschach and Nite Owl? But also remember how I said that would be, in fact, more of a bad idea?
