"Watchmen" Writers Asks Fans to See Film Again

No thanks, they got enough of my hard earned money.

hayter is right.. and i would go see it again.. i just don't have another 8 dollars for a movie this month :( movies like this just don't get made... it's a miracle that it opened last week. studio's are scared of films that take chances. And while some chances fail, i's rather see some risks taken than watch the same generic, easy, safe dribble that studio's poop out into the theaters. I don't care if it fails miserably.. i appreciate the ballz of taking risks....

WTF? Sorry, not paying 10 more buck to sit on my ass for almost 3 hours again. Use that money towards the dvd. "We have nothing to gain from this", BS!

I'd gladly go see it again...during a matinee of course.

So you want us to show them we want more of this pretentious overrated shit? No thanks. I'll pass.

I wont go see it for the first time. Fuck the watchmen.

I would gladly see the first half again...because the writer is correct it was fresh, thoughtful and original..But you lost me with the formulaic 'kick ass' second half. Sorry sport.

Definitely, I will.

Fuck Dave Hayter. I got no respect for that douche. If his film is soooo good, people will see the film again without him having to ask for it. This Hayter guy reminds me of those gayass youtubers you beg for subs. Message to Dave Hayter never beg people to see your movie.

it takes balls to keep it real like this... I may see it again he just inspired me haha

Forget that. This week the Rock rules the box office.

No way it was pretty good, but seeing it a second time would be boring as shit

this movie was something else. Ill see it again fo sho

Don't talk shit about Solid Snake.

YEah why not!!

i understand his point...but he shouldn't ask people to watch it again...i hardly make enough spending money to pay for a ticket...matinee prices used to be $5.50 when i started working at the theater...now it's like 8.50 and 10.50 for regular price when the old regular was just 8 even....and how can a film like that not be made again?....studios waste money on stupid ass projects that most people only watch once and probably never again...how does that differ from the money this one makes?...i'm not sayin it was bad, in fact i think it looks bad ass...haven't seen it yet still...but here's the thing for me...for those of you who have seen it...does it stay true to the comics?...if that's true, then i'll spend my money on it....but let me ask you guys somethin...let's say they do allow another movie like this to be made....what happens when those writers screw up other movies?...then this letter, the hard work, and money spent on this franchise is pointless...i understand it's competing...but let the competitors compete for themselves...quit trying to make watchmen bigger than it already is...the people who pay to watch these movies are the reason it has fame and fortune...same thing goes with games and music...ever since i heard akon the first time i was disappointed...it was 'smack that'...i thought the beat lagged creativity in bringing a catchy melody...and his voice sounds too much like a voice tuner that other hip hop artists abusively use today...creativity is thing that is MUCH much needed these days...phew i'm giving myself a headache writing this comment hahah...anyway i'll end it by asking: anybody agree with me?...tell me please!

I think it's an important movie, and even more relevant now than it was in the 80's. I also think it's funny that every time a major studio tries to adapt a book or comic (LOTR being an exceptoion) everyone bitches about how much they deviated from the source material. But here, you've got pretty much a frame for frame adaptation of a graphic novel, and now everyone is bitching about it being too long or too boring. If anything there was more action in the movie than in the comic, and if they'd left in the Black Freighter sequences, people would have gone apeshit. I can't say that this was the best movie in the world, but at the same time I have a lot of respect for the people who put it together so faithfully, and I definitely think it's worth seeing. Maybe even twice.

Gunslinger...you may be right...seeing it twice i mean...but many of those people might wait for the dvd to watch it a 2nd time...sad to say...but it's true...these writers should feel lucky that this movie has gone as far as it did...and for them to keep writing and making millions vs letting other writers take their place in the industry and having a chance to make something of themselves is even more sad...i could make a million dollars last me a lifetime since i've never been born rich...but someone born rich would go nuts if they suddenly became as wealthy as me...i wish there were no such thing as 'money' or 'prices'...who knows what kinda world we'd be in if that were true

I'll see it again Mr. Hollywood writer man!

only for you solid snake...only for you

I've seen it twice now, and will admit the second time is better. But apart from it's length, this movie suffers from what I call Grade-A, B acting. However maybe not making movies like this isn't such a bad thing. The main problem is that they stayed so faithful to the comic (that only a handful of people have read or could appreciate) that they lose the possibility of a mass audience as a result. That coupled with the economy, it would be surprising if the film broke 100 million in the box office.

No! I don't need to see ANOTHER explosion in the middle of NY or a giant Smurf wang. Steve Ryan would though

Gotta hand it to the guy for being honest. Good on you, pal.

its a good movie and also Solid Snake said so but ill wait for the 3 1/2 directors cut dvd and movie studios get a bigger percentage from dvds than theatrical relaese anyway

......hmmm, I respect the hell out of Hayter, for he wrote X-Men 1, but i didnt learn anything from Watchmen, nor did it make me think.

James.Speed lol omg...how can anybody learn anything from watching someone get raped?...i guess we're all geniuses then if we learned anything from that....and WV-Films i totally understand your point...did watchmen even have that big of an audience as a comic?....haha watch pretty soon they'll make a cartoon series for it....i actually wouldn't mind that, but they better put it on adult swim or sumthin cuz i don't think little kids are allowed to watch a cartoon blue penis on tv lol

Yes and no synthetic1985. I'd say the book probably had at least as big a following as Sin City did back in it's hay-day. It's considered the "War and Peace" of comics, but that doesn't mean that it's this major mainstream comic by any means. As far as a cartoon goes, this may be the closest you'll get to. Enjoy :)

LOL....i laughed the hardest when i noticed dr. manhattan was censored by wearing briefs...now that's comedy!...geez...if i were high and watching that i probably would have died laughing haha

lol ^^^, the movie was good but naw im straight

I'll definitly ! and those who even doesn't want to see it for the first time are dumb ! they don't even try... sad

i'll watch it only cuz i haven't seen it yet still...and i get paid this friday...the writer now has one less fan to worry about coming to the theater this weekend

I'm planning on seeing it a second time at IMAX but were it not for that format being available I'd just wait for the dvd. The movie was great but it's not cinematic imo; well executed but the story just doesn't translate to the big screen that well.

This ain't no "The Dark Knight" Amen

on it this weekend.

I can agree that fans need to ask more of studios to honor adaptations faithfully but u have to leave that up to the fans to make that happen instead. Besides I was going to see it again tonight anyways.

as one of my friends said before....'i only like them because of the action'....and frankly i almost agree entirely...cuz i really hate when they put too much drama in a comic...unless the drama is good

Well watchmen is drama and the novel and movie are both amazing

Cd_Smith0...i know that...not about the novel cuz i haven't read it...but i do believe i said "in fact, i think it looks bad ass...haven't seen it yet still"...it's in the annoyingly long first comment i posted haha...i'm scared now cuz i feel like i'm turning into minkowski by posting long, smart ass comments....somebody save me from myself!! lol

ill go and see it again it was worth it.

i think milwaukee marvel is in the closet..... seeing a man's penis make's him feel gay....

I'm at wits end with all the bitching going on on this site. I would & almost did go see it again but between the $$$ and the time I decided not to. Like someone ^^^ previous said in response. If people liked it enough they would go see it again without him asking. I liked the film and I know its been mixed on likes and dislikes but the fact of it all is, like I've said before and cant stress enough, This film is a phenomial achievement and should be respected as thus. STOP BITCHING!
