went to see this last night with phoenix, maz n a few other mates.
the intro song went on for about 15 min n kinda made me think what the fuck have i come to see...lol
the film has a slow build up givin a pretty in depth look into the backround of alot of the characters, which i found wasn't so neccessary to do esp as this part went on for about n hour, althou this bit was a bit boring theres was still some really cool shit happenin that made up for the slower parts
then the film starts really kicking off for the next hour or so and they dont really hold back with the gore n stuff...
the ending kinda divided us, some thought it was a bit poo, i thought it was quite good.
overall its a pretty good film, the kinda lead character "Roshack" really makes the film as hes a nasty fucker........and u gotta go see it just for the blue guys willy.......althou we were the only ones in the cinema laughin at it it was still funny as fuck........plus half way thru the film i nugged my mate who leaned over thinkin i was gonna tell him somethin when i gave him the ultimate cub cake that had me fucking cryin my eyes out in my seat

yeah watched it on the net, the intro is very long and stupid. Roshack is the nuts, i loved the gore in the show. Dr Manhattans(the blue guy) is just a pure fucking beast.
At 1st i didn't really think much to it, but i found myself watching it again today and paying attention and enjoyed it. I thought the ending was good, it had some good twists. 8/10

I enjoyed it.
As previously said there was a rather big build up.. but considering this is based on a rather beefy book then it; was kind of nessasary to understand some parts, as they had enough to essentially make 2 films.
Roshak made it.. was such a cool character. Special effects were really good.. and they held nothing back.. even men beating this shit out of women.. lol... even ppl getting shot was awesome. Really advise you watch it in the cinema over the internet.. as the sound quality and volume was epic.
The end was sad.. : ( I shed a tear.. so did Maz.. but i won't say no more.
Some parts just made me laugh so much, and Dr manhattans cock never failed to impress me.
Overall a film that will be epic on bluray once released.

It's spelt Rorschach you blacks.
Part drawn-out boringness, part brutal fighting brilliance, part enormous and slightly unfulfilling ending.
Still a worthy watch.

cheers man
Went to see this on release and I thought it was a really good film. The first 2 hours and a bit were awesome, but the last 20 minutes or so felt rushed. I wasn't that sure what really happened at the end initially although I did like how at the ending Rorschach is the one character who wouldn't go along with it (being vague here purposefully) so the psychopath is the only one with any morals.

yeah was about to say spell it right.
was a pretty sick film, i didn't find it boring at all, maybe because i had acrtually read the novel a couple times or because im just a patient film watcher i do not know. was a good film, and rorschach is hardly a nasty fucker, he is just an absolute moralist, no grey areas, just black and white, like his mask (its liek got metaphores you get me!).

yeah " no compromise" as he puts it.

its not that others dont have morals, they just have a conscience, they actually weigh out the situation and choose rationally. whereas rorschach is just absolute.
Pretty fucked up rational decision

Pretty fucked up rational decision
what by the rest of the team? hardly. if they would have all been on rorschachs side, the world would of just descended back into chaos and nuclear war would ensue.
Why would it? The reason the russians hadn't attacked was cause the US had Dr Manhattan, if the events that happened to make him go a bit crazy (again, trying not to discuss plot) didnt happen, he still would have been there to prevent war.

if the world found out what really happened americans would rebel and russia would be have no fear of manhatten anymore and be pissed that america tried to gain sympathy from tehcnically self harming lol. also manhatten would be out of the picture and they wouldnt live in fear that he could strike them and have nothing to lose but attack america. whereas if no one finds out, the whole world will live in fear of a greater being watching over them and their would be a forced world wide peace. the ending in the book is different and makes more sense tbh.

If the whole World found what out? The events in the last 20 minutes that ******** orchestrated? What I was saying was that was an unrational thing to do as things were fine before all that

ooooooo right, no if he hadnt of done what he did, the russians or americans would have attacked within a week or so (well thats the impression you get). what he did bought peace about between the two within a few days and preventing the ever ominous nuclear holocaust.

03-16-2009, 01:17 AM
lol mike, how can you say things were fine? america was just about to launch a nuclear strike on russia causing a holocaust lol.

Ffs.. atleast put some of this shit in spoilers.
lol mike, how can you say things were fine? america was just about to launch a nuclear strike on russia causing a holocaust lol.
As long as Manhattan was around though, that wouldn't have happened
Centarius
03-16-2009, 01:36 AM
but he wasn't...cz he disappeared to mars...the russians moved all their army to test that, then the yanks were gonna launch a pre emptive strike. Did you even watch the film mike :s

Def con 1 ftw.

Do you even read? He moved to Mars because he went a bit nuts which was because ******** did **********. If that never happened, he would have never moved to Mars.
Phoenix
03-16-2009, 01:49 AM
I thought he went to mars cse of the press conference.. when he got accused of giving some people "something".
"LEAVEEEEEEEE ME ALONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
> Meltdown > Trip to mars.

but that was part of story lol...your basing what you say on what didn't happen in the film.
Yea he did. But at the end, in the flashback thing it explains about the whole set up to that
Edit: I know that didnt happen, Im talking about what would have made more sense. I don't get what your point is
Phoenix
03-16-2009, 01:57 AM
... wait... whats teh question?
There never was one, just discussing the film

what would have made more sense :s discuss the actual film lol, not what you think the film should have been.
Phoenix
03-16-2009, 03:28 PM
yea fate i dont get where u coming from............go watch it again lol cz u missed somethin
No I haven't. Whats the point in retelling the events of the film? I'm discussing what would have made more sense, in my opinion at least, it wouldn't have ended with ************************

but no one else was...which is why what you were talking about made no sense whatsoever, seriously just face that you were wrong so we can all move on.
its not that others dont have morals, they just have a conscience, they actually weigh out the situation and choose rationally. whereas rorschach is just absolute.
Pretty fucked up rational decision

Makes sense to me there, I was explaining what I meant. Then you came in after not reading the conversation properly. I don't get why you have a problem with me discussing a 'what if' scenario.

because no one else discussed it, if dr manhattan hadn't of left, the film would have thus been pointless, making your entire arguement pointless lol.
I wasn't arguing, so there was nothing to have been made pointless. I was discussing the plot. And if you read the 3rd quote in my post, you might be able to see someone else discussing it.
Centarius
03-16-2009, 06:05 PM
but he was right lol, so that should have been end of, but you refuse to admit you were wrong and carried it on as usual lol.
How can I be wrong in a discussion? I brought up the point about how the ending could have been avoided, or at least different, and that makes me wrong? What he said to me wasn't even in regard to what we're on about as I hadn't mentioned it by then. Maybe you should admit you were wrong to get involved or that you misread initially and you don't want to back down...as usual

but changing the story or discussing stuff that didn't happen is pointless, its weird that you even brought it up. As i said before discuss what actually happened in the film and not what may have happened if the script writers and story writers had a change of heart and decided to write something completely different and all this confusion would be avoided seeing as how no one except yourself it seemed knew what you were actually talking about.
anyway going on what you said, if dr manhattan had been there, so would the tension and eventual nuclear holocaust, such is human nature. By doing what they did they created a peace and a common enemy to fight(dr manhattan) therefore settling their own differences.
Why should I only discuss the precise events of the film? It's not my fault no-one else could understand what i had said, maybe you should see the film again. Oh and now that you've discussed it, you can't use the 'it wasnt in the film so dont talk about it arguement' :P
The nuclear war would have never started as Dr manhattan would have prevented it (he can literally do whatever he wants). Not only would the Russians be scared to attack a Nation who won the Vietnam war with-in a week of his involvement, he'd be able to physically stop the bombs if need be.

but he didn't want to, he feels no attachment and is tired of getting pulled into the affairs of a species he no longer cares about, that happens because of the girl(can't remember her name) dumping him. He wouldn't have tried to stop it after that, and he wouldn't have tried to stop it had she not gone and begged with him at the end. He was near-devoid of all emotion, the only people he cared about were the people he well...cared about personally.
