Talk:Watchmen (2009)

When watching this movie I also memorized all the guns used best I could.

My little review. Doesn't spoil anything but lets you know what to expect if you're a fan or plan to watch the film.

Personally, I thought this film was great! A little gorier than the novel was (Snyder can be considered by some as Tarantino with cinematic flair) and the acting felt awkward in spots but the film kept much of the good stuff in and was very faithful to fans of the book such as myself. Some things I really looked forward to such as ALL of Rorscach's story, whic was left out but that's why I wait with anticipation for the super Director's Cut. I totally 100% want to screencap this and might feel compelled to commit homicide if someone else caps this flick, 'cause I REALLY want to. Expect some subtle plot changes but the basic story remains unchanged so don't fret mega fans.

WARNING! MILD SPOILER BELOW! WON'T RUIN FINAL PLOT BUT REVEALS ASPECTS OF RORSCHACH'S STORY IN THE FILM!

If you read the original graphic novel, you know Rorschach killed the child murderer by chaining him to the pole with a hacksaw and burning the building down. Instead of that, Rorscach swings a meat cleaver into his head repeatedly and the famous change to Rorscach from Kovacs is made there, which makes more sense than with killing the dogs as within the book.

I personally like the quote he says after killing the guy. The guy tells him to arrest him and he remarks "Men go to prison, DOGS get put down!" Great stuff. Besides, the burning down the house while chained with a hacksaw was done in Mad Max and Saw so everyone's seen it before.
