the comics are apparantly very good but the ending was considered a letdown by many, with many fans preferring the ending different ending from the movie

Worst movie ever. I've seen chickflicks I enjoyed more than this bloody movie.
They should've listened to the damn creator of the comics, he said you couldn't put the whole damn story in a movie.

First of all: Yes, all statements in there, all the philosophies, are too obvious. We KNOW! We know we're a messed up race. We know about the question: "Would you kill a child to save all of humanity?" Quit acting as if it's something you'd have to be a genius for to figure those questions out.
Second: I don't even care that all the damn scientific things aren't possible. Me no care. It a movie.
Third: I don't care how powerful the blue guy is, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE HIS PENIS.
Fourth: The only two good characters in the whole damn movie die. If which one right from the start. And the other one only gets good after a damn bloody hour! AN HOUR! The Nite Owl is the cheapest version of Batman ever... And he has a flying egg. With eyes in it. Which does not look very scary. The whole guy just screams: Make fun of me! And the women are all whores. Not that that's a bad thing, but they're superheroes... not superho's.
Fifth: It's called an ACTION movie. The first hour contained no more than 5 minutes than action and the other 1,5 hour gave no more than about 20 minutes. And all the action sucked... no cool powers. And the only guy who can kick ass, is too busy showing off his large penis and building a glass thingy on mars for NO BLOODY REASON WHAT-SO-EVER.

I hope the creators, directors and producers of this movie die. Of pain in the face.

"None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me."

epic. best part of the movie.

the conspiracy theory stuff is meh..maybe it was awesome back in the 80s but feels kinda overdone these days.

I saw it last weekend. 

I thought the movie was uninspiring and lacked identity, insofar as I'm not sure the director really knew what sort of film he was after.  I thought the choice of music for much of it was very poor and at times tacky.  I thought a lot of the sex was un-necessary; it felt like some of those scenes were only in there for cheap thrills and titilations. The only characters that really had any depth were the Commedian and Rorshach, the first of which dies in the first 10 minutes. 

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I rocked up to the cinema, having never read the comics, but I was expecting something more that what I saw. 

In a way, I'm glad I saw it, but it represents an afteroon of my life I'll never get back.

*hi-fives Lat*

Well, we all know I enjoy penises just as much as any other guy.
But it's a "superhero" movie... it's just not-done. No matter how much it appeared in the damn comics.

Blablabla, read the comic, blablabla...
That's all I have heard so far. What I saw was the deconstruction of a movie. If you want to deconstruct the superheroes, deconstruct them. Do not focus on what is obviously a half-hearted story filled with so-called morales and philosophical statements which everyone already knows. Relating to your audience by stating the obvious is not what I call creating a good story. If you want to give us something to think about, at least make it something we haven't been thinking about for as long as we are alive.
As I've said before, the only good characters in it either die too soon or get too less of a real role in the story. Even though Rorschach is the narrator, he's only in it for so much. They're too busy focussing on sex-scenes which bore way too fast and acting as if you'd need to be blue and omnipotent to grasp the true nature of mankind. Quite honestly, if that is what the comic is about... I'll never bother reading it. I'd rather escape to other comics where everything works out in the end. Life's miserable enough, don't need no comic about it.

I <3 the movie

how did everything work out in the end? millions of people dead, to prevent a war that would of never happened. and the people responsable will most likely get away with it, because some idiot and moron arent very credible sources.

the problem with the movie was the problems the characters faced and how they resolved them.  i only watched the movie once and never read the comics, so forgive me for not knowing everyone's name. dr manhattan struggling to keep some humanity, that slut trying to help dr manhattan save his humanity and her bad relationship with her mom, the rich faggot's cowardice, roshack's paranoia, and the inteli guy fearing the end of the world. dr manhattan's problem is resolved by learning that the slut is also a bastard. the slut's problems are solved when she discoveres she's a bastard. the rich faggot's problem is solved be wearing some expensive suit, roshack's paranoia is solved by roshack being killed,a nd inteli guy's is resolved by him killing millions of people.

that is why the movie was horrible.

You realize that in this version of the world, Richard Nixon was elected 4 times and we won the vietnam war. History in this movie didn't happen as it happened in real life. Therefore, you can't say that the cold war wouldn't have happened in this version of the world.
