Great review, and spot on. As those that would read this are waaaaaaaaaay past the spoiler ending, I can tell you that in the comic book itself, Ozy only vaporized NYC as that was enough of a point.

Rorschach totally made that movie.

“I’m not locked in here with you, YOU’RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!!!” = Best. Line. Evar.

They could have made the movie better by editing out everything but the scenes of whoopass.

Oh, gosh, no. We really appreciate that you took the time to share some really great and well written thoughts about the movie. Your rating is your rating. You can and should rate it however you darn well please. Just because the Chick rates them strictly as action movies doesn’t mean anyone else should. The word “disagree” is what set me off, which might not have been fair. I think I’m getting a chip on my shoulder and I’m ready to club people with it.

This is getting pretty old with people skimming the Chick’s reviews without paying any attention to the fact that she’s rating them as action movies. Not on how good they are overall. Not on how much she likes them. A gazillion people are out there doing that. SHE’S RATING THEM AS ACTION MOVIES. Watchmen is not a mindless explosion fest with relentless action from beginning to end. It’s mostly plot and characterization. Sheesh.

An excellent film. My following review is from the point of view of the movie, as I have not read the novel. That said, I see why Time listed it in the top 100 novels. The plot and characters are on par with Hemingway and Faulkner in the 1930s, Great Depression style of dramas. All the characters, save Dr. Manhattan, are extremely human. They have deep personality flaws, which contribute to the reality of their humanity. The familiar relationship between Edward Blake, Laurie Juspeczyk, and Sally Juspeczyk was genius. I also enjoyed the dialogue between the Comedian and the Molok. It was painfully sad to see that when the two men are dying, and each the others foe, a bittersweet friendship arises. Tending was fantastic and excellently plotted out. The implications of which Dr. Manhattan sacraficing himself (due to his ever-dissolving human-nature) for the greater cause of global peace. Finally, Rorschach’s death was amazing. The very beautiful and poignant implication of the ending was that, with Rorschach’s death and with Dr. Manhattan’s leaving, the men who masqueraded as superheroes could now ascend to become the superheroes. By a sacrifice by Jon Ostermon the world can now be saved
