Did anyone get teary eyed or cried when.........

I got close. I could feel the tension swelling in my chest. I didn't want to see that part because I had enjoyed JEH's portrayal so well, but it had to be done. That first, "Do it," the quiet one was what hit me the hardest.

Personally, I thought the film version was better than the comic version.

:up:
 
[blackout]Walter/Rorschach died?[/blackout]

I know I got teary eyed. My dad thought it was sad when it happened as well. The music and the delievery of the lines by[blackout]Jackie Earle Haley[/blackout] were phenomenal. Truely IMO, the saddest moment in the film.

It was a moving scene it would have been better if Dan wasnt there.
 
It was expected. I would have been very disappointed had he not been killed off in the film. That doesn't undermine its impact, but when you're like me, and you were looking forward to it, it's kinda hard to get sentimental.
 
I felt sorry for Veidt, Now whose going to speculate on him possibly being homosexual?

I was hoping for that line but with an added affect..."He is pampered and decadent, betraying even his own shallow, liberal affectations, nipples on suit, purple cat,works with naked blue man. Possibly homosexual? Must remember to investigate further."
 
It's kinda hard to get teary eye'd when barely 1 second passes and you see some one on the ground screaming nooo! =/
 
That scene is truly one of the better ones than it's comic form. Doc actually looks like he Doesn't want to. JEH=The Man
 
one thing I didn't get was Dan was just standing there in the background as they were talking/yelling at eachother. You would think that he would have atleast attempted to stop it.

I didn't cry, didn't get teary eyed, but I was considering the idea of getting teary eyed if the scene would have went on a bit longer then maybe.
 
It was the most emotional part of the film for me. That first quiet delivery of "Do it," was got to me the most. That with the subtle music made it perfect. Much better than the book version. And thank God Dan was actually there and cared for his friend. It makes more sense than in the GN. "Oh, my partner and friend died, and so I'm just gonna bone Laurie."
 
Almost. Never had that happen before during a comic book movie. And the fact that there was no music...

The man gave an incredible performance there.
 
I think it feels sadder than the GN, due to JEH's performance and the more gradual build-up. In the GN, it happened rather fast.
 
It was an amazing moment. I had a moment like that in JEKYLL AND HYDE, but it didn't work quite as well because it was stage, not film. Now I wish I could see what it would be like close up like that.

Bah!
 
My heart was bumping as i knew the "DO IT" scenes were coming, i was really waiiting for that scene, it was so powerful.
 
I totally did not give a crap about Bubastis. I guess because I was on the edge of my seat waiting to hear the "Forgive me Bubastis" line, and he said "Sorry girl" which sounded like "Sorry Carl" and all the people in my row were whispering "Who is Carrol??". And then everyone who didn't read the book kept asking each other where the hell the cat tiger came from. It was just lot of confusion over that moment.

But yeah, the Rory death scene was better then I ever could have imagined. So powerful. Everyone in the theater both times freaked out and there was deff some crying. JEH's performance in that scene especially was unspeakably good. What shoes he had to fill! And he did so and then some.

And I really liked that the whole Dan-seeing-it bit. The audience needed to feel that there was some recognition paid to the death. It would not have made sense to people if Rorschach died and Dan and Laurie just go and have sex again. It would totally rip any sympathy away from those two characters, where as in the book we can understand it.

Minus the fact that I would miss Laurie's excellent line at the end of that scene, I kind of prefer this way better. Probably because that was my reaction when reading the book :(
 
Why would anyone EVER give a crap about Bubastis?

It's a silly looking giant cat named after a cat god. It's not exactly there because the author wanted you to care deeply about her so much because she was Adrian's genetic breakthrough. She's a plot device and a key "element" to Ozymandias's character, with his reverence for history, Egyptian stuff, etc.

Adrian cares about Bubastis, yes, but probably because she's two things: Unique, and his PET. It's a man and his dog...or in this case, a man and his giant genetally engineered lynx.

You're not really supposed to care about Bubastis beyond that. You're supposed to care that Adrian cares about Bubastis on some level, but that he sacrifices her when he has to. To recognize it as a sacrifice on his part.
 
a powerful scene that did not need night owl at all.
 
It definitely got me close, I was so into the movie by that point it didn't even matter that I knew it was coming, it was like the very first time I read that scene from the book
 
No.

He dies in the book but all i can think was there goes the only good thing about the "movie"

buts its okay he died, hes the one who got the Last Laugh. his journal.
 
That was a terrific scene. Both in the graphic novel and the scene, and Jackie didn't disappoint. He rocked it. I loved the addition of Dan to the scene. It made sense and was probably my favorite change in the movie.
 
You know I always though that Rorsharch wanted to actually die. Like he knew that he couldnt compromise but also that he would never move on. And in the movie he's kinda begging John to end his life.
