K, Watchmen looks beautiful..BUT can I get some help here?...

[Commodore Schmidlapp]

It's people like you that make me glad I'm not a die-hard Harry Potter fan.

Neither am I, I was just joking dude.

Here is the Ozymandias in front of the tvs. 1024x768

That pic bugs me more than anything about the new Watchmen movie. He looks like Robin from the Batman & Robin movie, I think I even see a nipple on the suit. That was the first big problem about Batman & Robin and Batman Forever so how come no one cares when it comes to Watchmen?

 

[Angel_Faerie]

I think people don't care because it seems sort of like a satire of the Batman Forever/Batman & Robin costumes.

 

[Ethan Hawkman]

There's no reason why anyone should care. It was a problem with Batman and Robin because the nipple suits were completely out-of-character in a series which had previously been very dark and gloomy (not to mention the a**plates and codpieces which only added to the silliness of those costumes). I think the pictured suit looks natural on Veidt. He's very vain and egotistical; the entire point of his character is that he considers himself comparable to ancient gods and conquerors. His over-the-top, muscular costume is only reinforcing those motifs. As long as the nipples aren't exaggerated (which they aren't) I don't think it's a problem at all. Let's not make it one. What we SHOULD be debating is why they're making Veidt look like the main villain of the story. Isn't that supposed to be a surprise?

 

[4NutzinYoface]

I AGREE that the Veidts costume looks AWESOME! The suits in Batman and Robin were cool...the movie? Sucked balls....there is a much better chance this movie will be awesome...I am so happy with all of the costumes for Watchmen KUDOS to the design departement!

Stay the **** away from the spoiler board if you don't want to be spoiled!

If you didn't, then you brought it on yourself and you have absolutely no reason to cry about it.

Thanks for the mature response

It's not really a lack of compassion. Yes, it sucks that some details of the ending were spoiled for you. But really, what did you expect when you came into a spoiler thread about the very book you're reading and didn't want spoiled? I'm sorry, but how can you blame other people for this? That's like grabbing a fence that says "DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE" and being pissed when you get shocked.

I go into the spoiler section of EVERY movie on here yet people still use spoiler tags, at least give people the OPTION to be spoiled. Anyway, i have finished the book now so it doesnt matter, but i will use spoiler tags for the benefit of others.

You also had a choice. You had the choice when you were about to click on the link to come here. You made a choice, but just because it was the wrong one, doesn't mean you have the right to blame other people.

I accidentally read about the Joker's pencil trick and various other little details on the TDK spoiler board a month ago, too, and I was pissed, but not because they spoiled it for me, but because I didn't stay away from it.

How many movies on here are near-direct adaptations of a single source?

There's a vast difference between the spoilers for, say, TDK than for Watchmen, because the story's been available to the public for more than 20 years. You can't say the same for Iron Man, TDK, Hellboy II, etc.

There's really no reason for people to use spoiler tags in this particular spoiler forum because alomst every person who visits it has read the GN at least once.

Unless, of course, a mod makes a point to enforce that here.

And nearly every other movie on here is an adaptation of a set of characters from decades worth of source material, resulting in an original screenplay/storyline/just about everything else. This is a direct adaptation of a single novel. The plot for this movie has been available for more than 20 years.

 

[The Guard]

The real magic of WATCHMEN isn't in the story details being unveiled anyway. It's in the themes and concepts that are explored as this occurs, and how much is there to see the second time you read it, and the third time, and the fourth...and so on.

 

[X Lobo]

Who lives and dies is basically a side effect of having to end the story one way or another and is also very predictable.... how the plot unfolds is where the climax is...

I can't wait to see and hear the reaction of the audience at the last sequence of the movie in the newspaper editing room !!! i hope it's in the movie ...it also could be... you know like a mini bonus scene during the end credits !

That scene will absolutley be in the main film. It has to be, because it's a perfect moment to end the film. None of the ones before it would really work. I mean, you have

Spoiler

Jon leave for another galaxy, with Adrian contemplating what he did. That wouldn't work as an end, it's too abrupt. Then you have the next scene, which ends with Sally kissing the photo of the Comedian. That also wouldn't really work as a very last scene. But the scene of Seymour going for the journal, that's a perfect last thing to see before you cut to the credits. It's also really, really important, as otherwise you have that loose end of Rorschach dropping off his journal, with no follow-up.

No offense because I've been in your position, but the fact that there are two boards dedicated to spoilers and non-spoilers is serving as the ultimate spoiler tag for you, man. You were warned before you even clicked on this forum as opposed to the other one. Don't expect anyone to put up tags after that point.

I guess you're right ! but by the time the film end comes, the audience would :

1 have forgot about rorschach posting the journal...
or
2 wonder what happens with the journal (it could be self explanatory though, rorschach has posted it to 'someone' so the truth will unfold eventually, period)

So i think putting it in the middle of the credit roll would really be a blast, like a shock after the shock... and the great ketchup stain...awesome !

The Ozy suit is much cooler when you see it in detail like that. The form around his collarbone is great, it incorporates the zig zags from the comic costume. and I like how it's irregular around the abs.

Overall the costume looks more antiquity inspired than I believed it was before.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think they have done really well updating the costumes.
