Deadpool is the best superhero movie ever. Deadpool 2is the second best superhero movie ever. That is all. The Watchmen is still the best superhero movie. |

The movie states over and over that Adrian is the smartest person in the world. It's proven when he turns on the TV for Dr. Manhattan. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Nah. The villain's motivations were particularly dumb. I could never take it seriously. "Peace based on a lie!" "But peace nonetheless." "I've made myself feel every death... see every innocent face I've murdered to save humanity." |

It's a little deeper than most mind-numbing brain dead superhero movies. The Watchmen is a movie you actually have to pay attention to. The 4 foot cock was a bit too much for me, other than that it's a great movie.

Quoted:
The press got the diary detailing the entire plan in the end. I should point out that the book, unlike the movie, strongly hints that Ozymandias's plan would fail eventually even if Rorschach's journal wasn't a factor. When Dr. Manhattan says "nothing ever ends" and he teleports away the puff of air forms something like a mushroom cloud hanging over the whole solar system model, and Ozy frowns down at it with unease.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Ultimate Cut is leaps and bounds better than the theatrical release. I got no sense of urgency or alarm while watching in the theater. The UC stresses the nuclear apocalypse potential much better and makes the ending and villain motivation seem relevant. Missed that on the shorter cut. Off on the 2nd best tangent, I like Unbreakable and have seen trailers for a sequel, Glass. Granted, it's M. Night... but I thought it was a well done take on the genre. Unbreakable, Split, Glass. |

“Watchmen” is good. But I wouldn’t put it in the same class as “The Dark Knight”, “Winter Soldier” or “Civil War”.

With Spider-Man 2(TM one) not far behind. The music, the visuals, the story, the acting, all amazing. Rorschach is the best hero. The ultimate cut is on Amazon prime. Go watch it. |

I really liked this movie. It kind of turned me on to comic book movies overall. Other than Christopher Reeves Superman, I never really liked them. Now I like most Marvel movies. Deadpool, GotG, Dr. Strange, and the latest Thor movies are my favorites.

Blade is probably the best superhero movie made.
Batman Begins and Ironman are close. Orgazmo is arguably better than any of these . . but that's in a separate category. |

I would agree that Watchmen was fucking awesome; I would not classify it as a superhero movie.
What's the difference between a hero and a superhero? Powers. Only one had real "powers"--so no, it's not a superhero movie, per se. Just as awesome-assed sci-fi/drama. |

Writing out the fake psionic space squid was a huge leap, given how faithful the rest of the movie was, and a very good decision. Doctor Manhattan framed for the attack makes vastly more sense and streamlines the story wonderfully. The squid would have totally muddled the whole thing just as the finale was peaking. Great movie on every level. I think V for Vendetta is quite good as well. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It's a great movie, but it's a cynical and kind of leftist story where "the real story" is that the super heroes were often rapists or mass killers. It's a very "late twentieth century" story were heroes turn out to be extremely flawed and end up causing evil, it reminds me of how Christopher Columbus was a hero when I was a boy and now is a no good oppressor of Indians and other powerless folk. Watchmen reminds me of all the attempts to rewrite history in the 80s and after in a cynical and anti american manner. I don't mean it's a bad movie, it's a great movie. But Captain America Winter Soldier and Civil War are better super hero movies. Captain America is a life long .gov/company man, but when an elevator full of soldiers (well shield agents but whatever) tell him to surrender, he does what is right regardless of consequences, he fights everyone to save his friend and refuses to fight his friend even when it means his life. Sure they're a couple of Marvel blockbusters, but it's also a man protecting his innocent friend against the government. |
