Gotta Say, I Think This Is A Great Movie. But I Wouldn't Say It's The Best Adaptation. As Great Of A
Gotta say, I think this is a great movie. But I wouldn't say it's the best adaptation. As great of a film as it is, it is emotionally draining and it's not something that I would consider watching repeatedly. I just can't get my head around Watchmen being two or three hours long. I always felt like the series depends on an almost-miniseries build-up.
No, it doesn't bother me at all that the Extra-Dimensional Biological Entity is not in it (however, if that bothers you, I understand, and you have my sympathies). The one change that bothered me was how they changed Rorschach's origin scene, because the filmmakers felt that it was way too similar to the climax of the first Saw movie, and my feeling on that is that Rorschach's origin was already a rip-off of Mad Max's origin. So why is this an issue now? Other than that, I really enjoyed this film.
As much as I don't like Zack Snyder, I can't deny that he is a brilliant visual creator and everything in the trailer seemed right, if not completely spot-on. To be totally honest, I even geeked out a little when I first saw it.

As much as I'm mixed on Mutant Mayhem, I still give it my most favorable, most sincere wish for success.
May three of the most successful movies in 2023 be animated movies. May artistry be celebrated. May the ratings go higher than PG and beyond if the storytellers need it to be.
Anomalisa by Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson.
Based on Kaufman's 2005 audio play of the same name.
An epic, moving, meticulous, and miraculous feat of filmmaking.
One of my favorite types of animated films are of the independent variety. Films like Hoodwinked!, Persepolis, Mary and Max, and the works of Ralph Bakshi are among my personal recommendations.
Time Bandits by Terry Gilliam.
This just might be one of the very best "children's story" films ever produced. Outstanding imagination and poignant humanism.
It's a Roald Dahl–esque landmark to all fantasy films.
Really like the costumes on these guys (designed by the great Sid and Marty Krofft).
The Phantom Stranger (Volume 2) #19.
"Return to the Tomb of the Ice Giants".
Dark City (1998) by Alex Proyas.
A beautiful, sleek, lucid nightmare.
Filled with unforgettable, overwhelming images.
Highly influential.
The Rock by Michael Bay.
A great action movie!! Perfect confection...
For some, this is the one good movie Michael Bay ever gave us (I disagree. I like this film and the first three Transformers movies).
Some hard questions (and my opinion on them)…
1) Pineapple on pizza is good? 😒 No, who in the right mind would put pineapple on their pizza? 2) Peanut M&M's are the superior M&M's? I haven't partaken in the M&M's recently. 3) Is Metal Gear Solid 2 the best game of all time? One of them, for sure! 4) Is Death Stranding the greatest game of all time? One of them! Absolutely! Great designs and great actors in it! 5) Could a hot dog count as a sandwich? I don't think so, because it's like a vertical sandwich. 6) Is cereal a soup? The way some people make it? Yes! Me, I don't use milk in my cereal. 7) Smoking is never cool? It only LOOKS cool, but it's not cool for the biology.
Halloween (1978) by John Carpenter.
One of the greatest horror movies of all time. A genre supernova. Created a taxonomic category that still lives. Unsparing precision, a simple premise and style.
While the original Halloween may not be the first slasher movie, it is the film that set the groundwork for the genre and paved the way for all the other great slasher franchises like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. If you claim to be a horror fan and you haven't seen the original Halloween, first of all, shame on you. Second of all, watch it NOW. This one is required viewing.
Also, it is my personal opinion that John Carpenter's Halloween has the greatest opening scene in horror history.
20s. A young tachrán who has dedicated his life to becoming a filmmaker and comic artist/writer. This website is a mystery to me...
