Members TownsendPLocke Posted March 11, 2009 Members Posted March 11, 2009 Some lovely shots of Patrick Wilsons lovely ass.Many full frontal(cgi-but we have been told it was not far off from reality)of Billy Crudup. Writing was very stiff. Art direction was great. Acting was ok-just ok. Lots and lots of violence and sex.Deffinately not a film for the kiddies. Unfortunately the villian is a(although never outright labled-it was many "dropped hankie"moments)gay man.That is getting old. Quote
Members JKane Posted March 11, 2009 Members Posted March 11, 2009 I agree the movie left me feeling kinda lukewarm--it just doesn't make you care about the people enough (though I thought it was visually stunning and as close to the source material as was reasonably possible). But while I thought the actor was damn cute I didn't take the 'bad guy' as gay. Maybe a bit of an effeminate intellectual, but also pretty good at kicking ass. And maybe not even 'bad'... he saved the lives of billions. The fact that you aren't positive he was supposed to be gay says a lot. He's no lisping child-molester like the villain in the recent Rambo sequel. Anybody that found the story interesting really should pick up the graphic novel. I'm not that into comic books but The Watchmen has won the Hugo award (the only comic book to do so) and is on the Time magazine top 100-books list. And the author also wrote V for Vendetta--which is amazingly anti-homophobic and highly recommended. Quote
TotallyOz Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 It did not live up to my expectations and I was quite disappointed in it. But, I love Patrick Wilson ever since I saw him fully nude a few years back. He is VERY VERY blessed! Quote
