Tingle Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I assumed the same thing actually, for exactly the same reasons. Also I forgot about that part of the Comedian. Just feel like pointing out that the girl had the same last name as some rich dude, and that's why she was kidnapped in the graphic novel. But whatever. And Rorschach was the best character in the movie, IMO, followed by Doc Manhattan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 One thing I caught that I think is somewhat amusing: in the original comic, Rorschach vaguely impiles that Veidt might be homosexual. In the opening credits montage in the film, they show Veidt having his picture taken with what appear to be the Village People. There is also the markedly more feminine air about him, and the accent he gained, which gives him a more stereotypically homosexual feel. I'm not sure why they decided to forgo Rorschach have that little statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Veidt villainous? Bawww, I loved how he always wore a vaguely depressed/mater of fact expression. Must not fanboy hate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noremaC Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I just watched this movie on the internet, was amazing. I didn't like that the last person that went boom died....And that the "bad guy" did not die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like that the last person that went boom died....And that the "bad guy" did not die. Very few people appreciate Rorschach dying. Myself, I didn't like it, but I understood why he had to do it. His moral absolutism simply could not bend in this case, so a part of me thinks that he almost used Manhattan to stop himself from committing a larger evil because of his incapability to stop from trying to punish evil. In other words, he would not have stopped trying to punish Veidt until he was dead, so he begged Manhattan to end his life as a means to fix the problem Edited March 11, 2009 by Esau of Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Tyler Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) There's also the folder marked 'boys' on his computer. I did not even notice. Wow. Also, I think Rorache's death was justifiable. If he would had ran his mouth then he would have cause the world to go into war. He was still an awesome character however.

You saw him hit that Yokusa guy in the arm and completely burst it open. Now Silk Spectre on the other hand, she can fuck off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifeshroom Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I enjoyed the movie. It followed the story well and I loved the original story. I also thought the characters were done nicely especially Rorschach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokaiKnight Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Now that I've read the comic, I'm glad to say I have a new appreciation for Fox's sig. I haven't seen the movie yet, mainly because I only finished the graphic novel today. With some luck I'll check it out Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some luck I'll check it out Saturday. The movie was a good representation of the comic in a few ways. Rorschach, the Comedian, and Dr. Manhattan were all transferred spot-on, but Laurie and Veidt not as much. Laurie isn't much of a problem, since she was such an off-putting bitch all the time in the comic it would've been difficult to get that same feeling across in the movie, and Veidt was stereotypically gay (as Der stated earlier, in the scene in which Dan and Rorschach raid his office and are checking out his computer files, he has a folder labeled "BOYS" ). Instead of being like Charles Atlas, he was scrawny, carried what seemed a faint French accent, and held himself in a very feminine manner. He's not horribly done, but he's easily the worst of the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
