Will you watch these Watchmen?

Be My Head:
Are you joking? Since when was the movie supposed to be about the special effects? I don't recall the book ever being about flashy art.

Also, I thought the acting was great, maybe some morons laughed at the wrong parts, but that didn't affect my enjoyment of the movie.

Maybe the people who say they dislike the characters have their own vision of what they are supposed to be like in a movie adaptation and can't accept another person's interpretation.

JediBendu:
I didn't necessarily say the movie is supposed to be about special effects. I said that it's not about that, and that there is nothing to fill the gap of no action and adventure like in the comic. No emotion, no deep psychology. The story beats are all there but they are not pulled of. Nothing that matters. If it was all about special effects and they changed the story entirely it would be a better MOVIE than it is now, I'm sure. As it is I think it's a faithful ADAPTATION that is a borderline unwatchable MOVIE.

Seriously, people need to not get up in arms about this shit.

And no, it's not that I can't accept another person's interpretation. I just can't accept bad acting. Period. I already said I thought there were two good actors in the film. And the interpretation of Rorschach is not totally what I would think. Though as a matter of fact I think most of the "interpretations" of the characters is in line with what is in the comic/most readers think. Some of that acting is just so horrid it lost me totally.

Be My Head:
Okay, I thought the acting was good. They expressed most (if not all) of the subtle emotion present in the comic book characters, in my opinion (duh)

I guess the only characters I thought were bad were Sally and Rorschach's psychiatrist (he was totally nothing like he was in the book in terms of character, they ruined the whole interview thing in the movie)

JediBendu:
I thought the Rorschach portions were generally the highest point of the film. That's where it seemed to feel most comfortable with itself.

One weird thing that bothered me throughout the movie was the exaggerated sound effects. Particularly sound effects for punching and moving and bullets, it sounded like the equivalent of comic book sound effects. Sound effects that Alan Moore tried his damndest to avoid for the comic.

Lines:
I enjoyed the movie. It was pretty close to the book and even though they changed the ending a bit, they did it in a way that made enough sense. (I didn't really care for the whole blaming it on aliens thing, but it got the point across.) Also the cast did a pretty good job with getting into character. The only thing that bothered me cast-wise was Goode's hair.

Did the soundtrack annoy anyone else in the movie? There were some scenes when I think an OS would have been better, but I did like the period music in some spots.
