Alright...so I have never read this particular graphic novel but have heard TONS about it either through Wizard over the years, other people or the net. I found out Mr. Synder was helming this movie for the big screen and got excited because I wanted to see what he would do with a Superhero Universe...and from what I gather, the costumes, the trailer, everything looks unreal...so awesome!
But BUUUUT here is the thing LoL...I find myself tricked a lot of the times when it comes to how movies are marketed...obviously that's what studios WANT to do...advertise the movie to be one way but it turns out to not be the way it was advertised....taking all the 'cool' parts as an example, stickin' them in a trailer and then when you see the movie you are blown away with how ALL of the 'cool' parts where in the trailer.
From what I gather "The Watchmen" is something deep....really intelligent and well thought out and is NOT something of a 'rock 'em sock 'em in your face, balls to the wall action type of situation here. People are complaining there is a videogame of this movie comin' out in another thread for petes sake!
What I am trying to figure out is, I've seen all the action figures, the trailer and all of this stuff and it's making me think that this movie is going to be one hell of a ride...but if I sit in the theater am I going to be disappointed that I'm not going to want to go home and act out the battles I saw in the movie with my action figures? Is it going to be a deep character study chalk full of oh christ, I dunno...'political stuff' and lots of dialogue and things of that nature? I'm not saying there is anything WRONG with a movie like that, I dont' always have to have a movie with tons of fights and action and explosions....but are they marketing the movie appropriately so far? That scene with Nite Owl dispensing those criminals in the jail looked awesome or that Comedian fella...he's got twin pistols...does he use them? Does he play a big part in the movie?
I do not want to read the book before I see the movie, I know that's ass backwards for some but it's something I just dont wanna do, just a decision I made.
I know how message boards can be so please if anyone isn't a fan of this thread that's fine, just don't come in here and come off like a prick....however if someone can just kind of address what I'm asking and just let me know what to expect so that I'm not thinking one thing from now until next March and I'm disappointed....again Im not saying the movie couldn't be amazing, but I just dont want to be misled is all.
Thanks!
