To those who haven't read the graphic novel, buy it! There really is little point going to see the film if you haven't read it.
It's only £9.89 on Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Watchmen-Alan-Moore/dp/1852860243/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236512455&sr=8-1
Or $10.99 from Amazon US: http://www.amazon.com/Watchmen-Alan-Moore/dp/0930289234/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236512526&sr=1-1

Thank you.
I am now awaiting my copy in the mail.
Just an hour ago I heard my roommate tell her boyfriend "I didn't want to pay fucking $46, so I just read parts of it in the book store."
And now for $14.18 after shipping, it's on its way.
Thank you.
Glad to be of help, you won't be disappointed!
Sucks you have to pay shipping on Amazon US, it's free on orders over £5 in the UK.

Yeah, and it's most likely called "The League Of Extrordinary Gentlemen"

You said it. League of Extraordianry Gentlemen remains one of the most enjoyable graphic novels ive ever read(except for the Black Dossier), and im still wondering,after all these years, why they couldnt use the real, awesome story for the movie.

The Comic was super long. I figured there was no way to fit it into a feature film, and do the story/characters justice. I'm going to see it on Monday, though. It should be good for what it is. Should've been a mini-series on HBO or something, though.
Khuurtra hates it and Twesterm likes it. Not sure what to believe now.
Eh i'll see when i get there.

And I bet he never read the novel. Right? I thought the ultra violence and fight scenes sort of missed the point of the novel, which was more about implied violence and the fact that these are nominally normal people going around doing crazy things. Ozymandias should be the only uber bad-ass in the cast - but if your only experience is with the movie, then it looks like Rorschach could whip Batman's ass so hard that it'd make your head spin. |
Well they did that for V for Vendetta a too... now everyone thinks V got superpowers from those expierments when in reality it just made him insane... or the only not insane person. However you want to look at it.
I read the graphic novel a few years back. It was great, but I bet that back during it's original run, it was ground breaking!
I used to be a jailer, and I stole my favorite line from this book: "I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here WITH ME!"
I used to say that all of the time. I just checked out the thread where the OP posted the opening credits. I think that, despite the mixed reviews, this movie may be right up my alley!! I'm tempted to skip work just to see it!
@anyone who has seen the movie
Did Rorschach's interviews with the psychiatrist ,and Jon's recollections chapter make it into the movie?
