I want so much to believe

and yeah, I am okay with them jettisoning the boat plot, which was always the weakest part. the intent of the plan is awesome and powerful, the actual details were always a bit goofy

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #4 on:** October 22, 2008, 03:11:13 PM »

it looks SO GOOD

even if the movie completely blows (which honestly seems unlikely at this point) it will be gorgeous for fans of the book to watch for certain

It looks so fucking awesome.

Yeah, the change in ending works, maybe even better than the original.

I need to hurry up and read it before the movie comes out

Spoiler>Giant alien squid monster <Spoiler would have sunk the film. People would be sitting there thinking "huh? that's it? that's his plan?"
New ending basically serves the same purpose and the resulting events remain the same as well.

Do you own it PD?

Nope. The local Borders and Barnes n Nobles don't have it anymore so I might just have them order it. Plus I need to check some comic shops

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #10 on:** October 22, 2008, 03:21:25 PM »

I do wonder how the public will react to this in thinking it's a regular superhero movie, then all of a sudden

Never read the book(s?) either, but I just saw the Spike Awards footage and it seemed pretty hot

Better than the alien octopus shit. Hopefully the rest of the movie is good.

I actually like the sound of this new ending.

Yeah, there's still some potential problems with the new ending, but the ending in the comic book was just crazy.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #19 on:** October 22, 2008, 06:35:41 PM »

Oh no, how dare they change Watchmen's LOLcraftian ending?

If they're going to change anything, that's probably the best place to start.

EvilBoris · « **Reply #20 on:** October 22, 2008, 06:39:00 PM »

I missed alot of stuff I'm gonna have to watch it again in slow motion.

Greatness Gone · « **Reply #21 on:** October 22, 2008, 06:40:13 PM »

Ozymandias should have been played by Aaron Eckhart, or any other hott white guy. The current actor is... $:-\$

And that Batman Forever outfit. TACKY.

BamYouHaveAids · « **Reply #22 on:** October 22, 2008, 09:10:46 PM »

terrible. the new ending completely misses the point of the comic. the comic was a cautionary tale against giant squids/psychic blast and the dangers they present, i guess the point went over zack synder's head. at the very least they could have provided some other monster to fill the role maybe king kong wrecking havoc on new york or godzilla terrorizing japan, you know for the cross-market appeal. really disappointing.

Maybe it'll end with a giant Dr. Manhattan rampaging across Manhattan. Now that's poetic justice!

Are dudes seriously spoiler tagging The Watchmen?

It's probably older than some of you.

I really don't care about the changed ending. I'm 100% sure all the nerds who are bitching would bitch regardless of how it would turn out. In fact, I'm 100% certain that if there was a

people would bitch about how campy and lame it is for a movie.

Don't forget that nerds know nothing. If you want proof just read the old Dark Knight threads about Heath Ledger getting chosen as Joker...bu...but Mark Hamillllllll

Mandark · « **Reply #26 on:** October 23, 2008, 12:19:54 AM »

I still don't like the clips they've shown so far.

So neener neener.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #27 on:** October 23, 2008, 12:29:47 AM »

Everything they've shown looks like it was taken straight out of the comic book.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #28 on:** October 23, 2008, 09:21:17 AM »

The new ending actually seems pretty good.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #29 on:** October 23, 2008, 09:24:21 AM »

I'll be first to see this movie, no doubt, but I'm still very iffy on it. Everything I've seen looks awfully $:-\$ except for the picture from the 40s.

It just looks very...Zach Snyder

Reb · « **Reply #30 on:** October 23, 2008, 09:27:29 AM »

Wow, I think everything shown thusfar has been awesome!
