let&#x27;s hope this is a good movie to kick off the spring.

book101 · Answer

7 out of 10 stars. Really awesome storyline and plot, but way too many unnecessary scenes. 3 hours long.

WerderFan · Answer

ugh, thanks, prolly saved me $15 and a night

electricladylnd · Answer

I would say about 7/10 stars as well, some good stuff but overall eh.

hugh613 · Answer

Pretty good overall, but not really an &#x27;action&#x27; movie - think "Superman Returns". Also, seems like it would&#x27;ve been alot tighter if they&#x27;d edited it down to about two hours (alot of it seemed unnecessary but, then again, I&#x27;m not really familiar with the comics, so maybe it wasn&#x27;t). Anyways, worth seeing, but hardly worth rushing out to see.

I have to agree. It could have been shorter.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;But they basically copied the book 100%.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;They left very little out, hence the reason for a 3 hour film.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;8/10 for me.

trance · Answer

Pretty good adaptation of the novel.

hugh613 · Answer

Almost forgot... the opening credits with Dylan&#x27;s "The Times They Are A-Changin&#x27;" are worth the price of admission alone. Okay, not really, but it was still pretty fantastic.

Found it on YouTube, so check it out before it gets taken down.

6.5/10.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;When I first heard they were making a Watchmen movie... I immediately thought Boom or Bust.&#xD;&#xA;Surprisingly, it was in between.... Didn&#x27;t think it was that great, nor that boring.&#xD;&#xA;I don;t mind long movies.... but in this case, there were some needless scenes.

BostonKen · Answer

7.5 out of 10. I thought it was really well done.

johnbs · Answer

Watchmen would be nice to see but I don&#x27;t go to movie theaters

WikkdClown · Answer

i thought the movie should have been a lot shorter... the action scenes were great, but filler scenes sucked. 5/10 from me

dennishopson · Answer

I&#x27;m going to catch it Imax if I can in time, but the 3 hour thing scares me.There are usually quite a few beverages in me by early evening, and I hate to pee in the middle of a flick.

Mikael99 · Answer

I just saw it today on DVD. Enjoyed it quite a lot. Lots of violence and some sex in it. Not bad.Agreed with those who said they could have edited 30 minutes out of it.

richardtonsj · Answer

I thought the movie will not be out until 7/21/09, at least according to Blockbuster.

ArmedNAruba · Answer

hugh613 · Answer

Aruba, why&#x27;d you switch girls for your avatar? Noooooooooooooo!

Jaysvdubwhat · Answer

i watched it sunday too long....didn&#x27;t like it... maybe cuz i didn&#x27;t like the story

Crowkillers · Answer

The Special effects and Violence were great. However I thought this was one of the stupidest movies that I have ever seen. And I am a big fan of stupid movies. It was also about 60 minutes too long.

6/10&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Superhero movies with heroes w/o real super powers just doesn&#x27;t do it for me. Love the grittiness of this movie though. No kiddy, nobody dies stuff. A compelling movie has to have a tragedy of some sort, plural form of tragedy is even better.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Bring on Justice League of America and The Avengers. And all sorts of renditions of the X-Men stuff; Alpha Flight, The New Mutants, etc.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Even Ironman, the Hulk series, and the Fantastic Four series was somewhat more entertaining. And cough, cough, Ghost Rider was okay. Dare Devil... mildly entertaining. Elektra... forgot about this one.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Batman Begins and The Dark Knight have been the exception for me. No real super powers but... great film-making at work.

HappyKane · Answer

Forgot who was playing Captain America for The Avengers but hope it&#x27;ll be good.

HappyKane · Answer

Problems i&#x27;ve seen have been directors&#x27; in ability to make a superhero&#x27;s cameo something to cheer about.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Transformers is about robots but the human factor overshadowed the connection we never got with the other Autobots that couldn&#x27;t be introduced because what called&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Sponsorship.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Thanks a lot GM. Yes, GM ruined the Transformers series as much as Michael Bay did.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Where was Smokescreen? Where was Hound? And Prowl? And Sunstreaker? Braun, and so many more missing. And thanks again, General Motors. I get it -- not enough "real life" cars for the millions of potential GM car buyers to scounce over.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Fuck sponsorship. Fuck corporate elblow greasing.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;We never got that connection with Ratchet and Ironhide that we kinda had with the 1st movie. Forget about Arce&#x27;s cameo. The ghetto bots were allrite, i guess.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;How much more CGI work could&#x27;ve Dreamworks done -- because weren&#x27;t you guys disappointed that Soundwave didn&#x27;t get into the fray of the battle? &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Which brings me to asking? Will they have Thor in The Avengers movie? Will they have Fantastic Four cameos? What about She-Hulk?
