The Watchmen movie: Cartoon Totally Not in the OP *COMIC SPOILERS*

these guys loved it
oh please please please don't link to 'At the Movies.'
Ben lyons is the worst movie critic on the face of the earth. This is the guy who called I Am Legend "one of the greatest movies ever made."
Zero artistic credibility.

Yea I really hate those guys. I liked Richard Roeper's reviews when he was running it though, and still drift towards that page for some weird reason.
Just check the movie's Rotten Tomatoes page. The tomatometer is going down at a consistent rate. It was around 89% last week. I guess it's really as polarising as some had claimed.
I mean, seriously, even a more by-the-books translation of Watchmen rather than a stylistic adaptation would still be better than most of the stuff out there.

All lined up for Saturday...I've got a mix of people in the group. About half have read the novel and half haven't, so the response should be interesting.
Wait, what? I can buy $20 worth of Microsoft Fakemoney and get $25 worth of movie tickets for free? Is this actually real?
Roar-SHACK!
Goddamn them.
This is confusing. Even if it did have Batman in it, wouldn't that be a plus to people who aren't particular fans of Watchmen? I mean Batman! C'mon!

Yes. It is. I went to Best Buy and did it myself just a few days ago.
That's exactly why I read negative reviews. Actually, I usually only read like 3 or 4 reviews tops, and one of em is usually a neg review. I check Berardinelli, Ebert, Jack Mathews if I can, Elvis Mitchell if I can. It's hardly ever that all 4 of em line up on a single movie, and it's the negative review that often helps me decide if I'm gonna see it or not. Not because I'm all contrarian or some shit, but because I find once I read a couple reviewers well enough, I get a good idea what their tastes are, and if they pan something, it might be that their reasoning for disliking something will be the exact reason why I WOULD like it.
I'd say don't. At this point, it might be a better moviegoing experience if she goes in cold, and reads the book afterwards. I've talked to a few people who read the book as little as a week before seeing this movie, and all it did is train them to look for the stuff that wasn't there. It seems to lead almost solely to "checklist" viewing because the book is too fresh and too dense to do anything but trip over omitted things when the movie is playing.

Oh god I lol'd
Any restrictions on the coupons? Lots of them won't let you see them the first week.
To me, this indicates that the geeks and fans will generally appreciate it while the general moviegoer will be confused and frustrated. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
Almost certainly.
Of course, you wouldn't get the tickets until next week, anyway, unless you paid for rush shipping.
Yeah. I have little doubt you could almost consider having read the book prerequisite to seeing the movie.
Haha, that is awesome
Indeed, I hope he continues it for a bit. I love the Garfield suit.

tl;dr - If you've read and liked the comic, you'll like/love the movie. If you haven't, you'll feel like its hollow and emotionless but looks pretty.
It doesn't persuade my enthusiasm in the least, as I am basically looking forward to seeing a motion version of the comic on the big screen. But I do agree that most of the mainstream movie going populace will find it hard to relate to the feeling of paranoia which the Cold War brought nearly two decades later.
It was all just a bit of silliness in the end, really.
I've always liked PvP.
I like PvP too! Most people around here don't seem to like PvP at all.

No, the coupon is good from the premier until the 20th of March. You don't send away for the tickets, you just print out the coupon after inputting your code into the website and you present the printout at the theater.
