MarkCassidy - 5/13/2009, 4:21 PM
Didnt that happen in the book too? He starts to beat the crap out of the guy to get info on Hollis death, but he goes so far even Rorschach is shocked

I would love to buy this...but I hate it when they release a great movie as this...and than a year from today they release even a better version. "THE ULTIMATE WATCHMAN EDITON" comes with never seen footage...blah blah blah....I hate that. Like what they did with bladerunner, or a year later what they did with "I am Legend."....special limited editions and crap. its like just give it to us all now...stop making all these editions damn lol

Additional footage, eh? Anything that gives us more Rorschach sounds good to me. Hollis Mason's death also belongs in the film. I do wish we were getting an "alternate ending" with the squid.

Definitely getting the director's cut.

Ror: That's the way I remember it anyways.
And I have to agree with Keven, I liked Snyder's updates and the liberties that were taken! It made the story more poignant, and less convoluted.

(I bet Hyson's brain is exploding with rage right now! lol)

Now the studios are kind of dismissing the DVD format, in order to people to get the new one, the Blu Ray..

..well, it is called Merchandising right? hehe.

About the Ultimate Blade Runner edition on DVD, yeah, i saw it last weekend in stores, with A LOT O NEW extras, just like the new Ultimate James Bond collection on DVD... they offer the best possible edition EVER.. just to re-start from the bottom with another format
-

that means that in 5 years, the Blu-Ray standard editions will have only one or 2 additional "bonus", and also we´ll have that Ultimate Watchmen Edition in Blu Ray...and then BANG! they will diss that format and we´ll have to get used to the new one: THE RAINBOW -RAY FORMAT! lol haha!

kEVEN YOUR a dooche bag... the [frick]ing movie is better than the book. you my friend have not tooken the careful time to fully evaluate and appreciate what the Watchmen is with a statement like that. basically snyder took the book stayed about 75% true to the material and and then added about his own 5% and basically shit the other 20% out the window and is trying to sway us with an extra 25 mins of footage. It better be good. I was completely disappointed in the movie for various reasons( I.E. acting was horrible, silk spectre made out to be a whore, dan was a bitch and didnt have the emotional range of the character in the book,ozymandias was a complete waste in my opinion, so many good lines and scenes in the book, and he barely had a presence in the book. i felt like he only made his self in the end), but i can say the ending was well done from the scene where "All Along the Watchtower" came on to the credits, even if the ending was radically different. But I just dont see how this film can even measure up to what the Novel was. its just not possible

why so much hate on the movie? the movie was good, and in my OPINION... better than the dark knight's story, but both movies are good. Rorshach's protrayl was better, or just as good as Joker's protrayl. this movie is so far the best of the year. salvation and x-men are just action movies with no story.
