Please, he catches a bullet for fucks sake. Plus he picks up and throws a 225lbs man about 10 metres through impact glass with ease. He looks like he weighs 200lbs or less, which means what he does is physically impossible for a normal human.

It's dubbed as : "All the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll whisper: 'No'"
Is it a phrase used by rorschach in the comics? So that they maybe did this wrong translation years ago for the comics.. |
Indeed, it appears that the original phrase is "whores and politicians," not "world."  |

i dont look at it like that. to me its not a literal 'this shit really happens' type situation, its kinda 'metaphorically enhanced' i guess id call it, not to show him as actually being super strong, but rather to emphasize his overall 'power'.... kinda like those movies where someone jumps up and spins around 50 times kicking 90 ninjas in the head before landing, to me doesnt say he could actually do it, just rather show how much more powerful and skilled he is in 'relation' to the opponent.
but hey, whatever... you either enjoy it or not
black freighter is out for anyone who wants to see it. its animated (which i had hoped would have been live action, but its animted - but animated is good, it makes sense given that its a comic and meant to be surreal and not directly part of the core story, so it works), bout 20 mins long |

Just because I believe he displays physical abilities beyond a normal human does not mean I don't enjoy it. Just that I prefer to make the assumption that he has genetically enhanced himself since it's implied a couple of times in the story anyway.
Given how the other 'hero' characters are exceptionally skilled at melee combat I find it hard to believe a normal human could outclass them so completely. This did not strike me as the kind of film that has 'superhuman' individuals as a standard, like the kinds of martial arts films I think you're referring to.

In the film it's mentioned very briefly that he is a pioneer in genetic modification, hence his blue tiger thing shown near the end.
But it's never explicitly stated that he himself is enhanced, which they should have made clear considering the superhuman physicality he displays. |
I hadn't considered it until reading this, but I imagine that Moore meant it to be left deliberately vague so that people would debate the true extent of Veidt's power, much like they do with the corporations that his character represents. Maybe.

yea, i hated the music aswell.. it just didn't fit at all most of the time
sounded more like a thematic temp-track
perhaps the DC will have it different
the composed score is actually pretty good

The score was excellent, especially Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan which suits the theme and the three bob dylan songs is actually mentioned in the comic.

Two of them are covers only one sung by Dylan is Times are a changing in the intro.
Jimi Hendrix plays All Along the Watchtower written by Bob Dylan.
And my least favorite(I didn't really like it) is the cover by My Chemical Romance of Desolation Row

But the "song" that fits perfectly in the film, it's when the scientist is transformed into Dr.Manhattan, from Philip Glass "Koyaanisqatsi".
I was ashtonished during that moment.

I got hand on the motion comic but the files i've dled are .000, .001 and so on. I tried joining them with hjsplit, but that didn't work. I can only watch the .000 and it stops after some minutes...

Why didn't you download the bluray rips anyway? They are better than the HDTV caps.
Watchmen.2009.EPXX.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264-DON from Usenet.

And it's really good enough to watch

8GB? There are total of 12 episodes, each 4 are 4.4GB, totaling in ~14GB. Well worth it, I might add.

No, most certainly don't. It will just ruin the movie for you.

Watch the movie first. You will be very entertained. Than watch the motion comics to get more background information. I've seen so many things in the motioncomic that weren't in the movie, so that the movie would suck more afterwards
