In an interview with Total Film magazine the Watchmen cast gave their favorite comicbook movies..you wont believe what Jeffrey Dean Morgan says about Dark Knight!
Patrick Wilson – Night Owl:
Lord almighty. Christopher Reeve. That’s hard to beat, right there. He really, masterfully, had such humour. I think humour is one of the most important aspects. That being said, this summer was phenomenal. I really dug all three of the big ones: Iron Man, The Dark Knight and The Incredible Hulk."
Jackie Earl Haley – Rorschach:"Getting involved in this film has made me much more aware of the comic-book movie world.
I thought The Dark Knight was kick-ass. Iron Man was awesome. But you know, a lot of the time too, if they’re too juvenile I start to lose interest. I thought The Dark Knight was just so well done, more thought provoking, more adult.
And Iron Man, gosh, they just did a really good job of that. That was some really entertaining storytelling, great humour. And it dealt with some more adult themes. I don’t think it’s as sophisticated as The Dark Knight or as thought provoking as this one."
Jeffrey Dean Morgan – The Comedian:"I’m not a big comic-book movie fan, to be honest with you.
I just saw The Dark Knight on the plane the other day and I really liked it. On the plane, I know. Is that bad? But I just haven’t had time to see movies. I did go and see a movie the other day, but I saw... Christ... Slumdog Millionaire. That was my choice to go see. And I loved it! It was an awesome movie. So that’s my taste towards films. The Dark Knight, yeah, it was a plane movie for me."
Matthew Goode – Ozymandias:Favourite comic-book movie... [frick]ing hell. Er... Er-er-er. I don’t know if I have one.
I did think that Heath was blinding as The Joker. Such a [frick]ing shame. So I really quite enjoyed The Dark Knight. Superman back in the day, mainly because Marlon got paid the most outrageous amount of money for doing [frick] all."
Billy Crudup – Dr Manhattan:"Um... I don’t have a favourite comic-book movie. No, I don’t. Watchmen? Sell, sell, sell!"
So there you have it. Im sure youl agree Billy Crudup gives the most in depth answer! And that Mathew Goode needs to wash his mouth out with soap!!
