Ozymandis good as Ozymandis looks to scrawny?

[SatEL]

Does Matthew Goode look smaller than you expected or would have liked.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I don't understand the question

 

[SatEL]

I don't understand the question

Oh sorry was I speaking alien again, anyway I have translated it for you.

 

[The Riddler]

oddly, i really like that ozy looks quite thin.

he's got deceptive super human strength, kinda like spider-man.

to be as strong as him and look it realistically, he'd have to be some enormous pro body builder.

 

[Steelsheen]

i was expecting someone else other than Goode. it isnt so much about his size, but for someone whose supposed to be the world's smartest man, he doesnt strike me as "intelligent", just mediocre. the closest i was thinking for Ozymandias would be someone like Vladimir Putin-- not a very tall or large man either, but you can feel the arrogance, intensity and the fierce intelligence from him.

It doesn't really bother me that much. When I think of a person in peak physical condition, Bruce Lee tends to come to mind immediately.

I selected Yes on the poll but honestly, I'm going to wait 'til after I've seen the film before fully judging the performance.

 

[Kane52630]

i voted yes but it doesnt bother me too much
Goode's acting ability overshadowed his appearance from what ive seen so far

 

[Judson Caspian]

Ozymandias in the book looks more muscular. Wider neck for one thing. Ozymandias in the movie looks more feminine.

 

[Drizzle]

His size doesn't bother me, but Goode has a freakishly long neck.

he does! Ive noticed that as well ..

 

[Octoberist]

I've noticed this: Why do people confused 'to' with 'too'? I don't want to be the Grammar/Spelling Nazi but jeez.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

hmm was that referring to me? I don't remember using either to or too in my post but in response, I do not think that a lot people know how to properly use to and too.

 

[TheBatman072]

No.

 

[marcvader]

Looks fine to me too.

 

[CaptainGenerica]

Looks fine to me. I honestly can't say his build even entered my mind before people started bringing it up.

 

[spider-neil]

I listen to comic book geek and they made an excellent point that some peopke of trained their body to perform near superhuman feats of strengh and speed, bearing that in mind I not bothered about his size more about his ability to act.

It would bother me if a character who is known for his size (for example thor) were played by someone slender but not so much for a character known for his intelligence (like ozy) and before someone mentions batman he's known for both

sorry, to the guy who made this trend.

 

[Travesty]

Its just as bad as Magneto was in the X-men movies. So yeah, its kind of an eye sore.

I find it quite amusing that I once thought Ozymandias was going to be the most horribly portrayed out of all the Crimebusters. As I started watching the clips (including the latest viral on Ozymandias owned Veidt Music Network) I've gotten to really generate an amount of appreciation for the character. The review on the Watchmen Comic Movie by Empire actually complements the actors although he does mention some flaws (ultimately giving the film a 6.5/10). In the end I guess all of us can't fully accept someones opinion until we've seen the film for ourselves (although I find reviews useful as a device to comprehend another individual's understanding of the material also). I'm just hoping the multiple themes from the GN will remain (the essence so to speak) even in this 2 Hour and 43 minute theatrical cut.

 

[The Sarge]

I think he's definitely too small.
The character is someone who has trained his body vigorously, even showing off the athletic feats he can do on TV. He's supposed to be strong enough to lift the comedian over his head and throw his out a window.
Ver much like batman, this character was known for both his intelligence, and his perfectly honed body. I feel he's someone who obsessed over it, as he did many things in order to make himself the perfect human.

That said, Mathew may still do a good job acting wise. BUT he is definitely too small.

 

[Heisenberg]

He's smaller than depicted in the graphic novel, but i don't feel it takes anything away from the actual character. He doesn't look out of place in his costume, and in regular clothes looks toned but slim. I don't see a problem with it.

 

[The Guard]

You people have GOT to get over this "size equals strength" stuff.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

You people have GOT to get over this "size equals strength" stuff.

seriously! Veidt has a gymnast body, gymnast are slender and strong, not all buffed out. you dont have to be HHH to beat some one up
