Trailer looks good for a Netflix movie, and I will def watch, but god damn am I tired of the "strong female lead" that just kicks everyone ass all over the place. Its so fake tiring.

For some reason, I thought watchmen was universally hated, particularly by readers of the original comics. I thought it was one of the best adaptations ever done as far as comic story straight to movie. Yeah, no squids, but the ending in the movie is arguably better except not fully leaning into the joke motif.

I remember nerds loving it, think the complaints were the squids change

As a non comic book reader, I would probably put the movie in the top 5 of my favorite comic book based movies.

It also was one of the first widely advertised “dark” or adult comics. I know it wasn’t but it was one of the first to be main streamed

I am thinking this should have been a mini series or something as this is still part 1 even with a different cut

generally well liked. amazing opening. but missed the mark on a few things. Squid in particular. also, black freighter.

Squid ending I thought people agreed it wouldn't have adapted well. Black freighter wasn't a big deal but came out later on the DVD? Now I want to download it

Downloaded the ultimate cut of Watchmen, still fucking great but it's long as hell. Roughly over 215 minutes

Ultimate cut with the Black Freighter incorporated is great. Squid change annoyed me at first, but if I hadn't read the comic first I feel like I would've thought the squid was stupid when Manhattan is right there.

I was disappointed they nixed the final conversation between Veidt and Manhattan. That and fucking Hallelujah during the sex scene lol. Overall though, it's awesome.

I really thought I would be able to enjoy this despite the bad reviews, alas I could not.

It’s really a bad movie. Disjointed story, terrible dialog, bad acting, and surprisingly for Snyder bad action sequence with uninspired combat choreography.

The only thing the movie does well is to have some awesome freeze frame that would make good posters.

Seriously though, a really bad movie that isn’t even so bad that it’s good. It’s just bad.

Disappointing to hear, as I was planning a similar watch. I even told my friend to ignore the bad reviews and linked 3 redeeming things about it.

Has Snyder ever made a good movie? It's all been shit in my experience.

I mean, he's basically the Shyamalan of nerd action. He did 300 which was pretty decent and also just new for it's time. And has been coasting on that schtick ever since, making progressively more shit movies as time passes.

started incredibly strong.

Dead of the dead, 300, Watchmen.
(yes music video's before that)

But then just straight into the trash.
legends of the guardians, the owls of gahoole, sucker punch, man of steel, batman v superman, justice league, justice league again, army of the dead, and now this.

This is pretty zzz. Opening felt like a rip off of cantina scene, then a mini phantom menace scene
