Watchmen (and other movies)

[moonshayde]

So, I finally watched the Watchmen movie. I thought it was pretty good. Meandered quite a bit and could have been a tighter movie, but it was still enjoyable. I knew most of what would happen anyway as my brother has had the comic for years. I recommend it, though it's a bit graphic in parts.

I recently have watched Punch Drunk Love. I still don't get that one.

And an old movie, Brazil, was weird and artsy, but a great social commentary. It reminded me a lot of 1984. Another movie I would recommend.

The theatrical version of Watchmen is shorter, although it tells the complete story (it was my first introduction to Watchmen).

The director's cut is longer. It has scenes that were cut, such as Hollis' death scene. List of differences.

The ultimate is similar to the director's cut (it has all the additional scenes) with the Black Frieghter cut into the film at various pieces, just as it is in the comic. It's extremely long, but I'm such a geek for it!
