I read the comic a couple of week ago, and I really enjoyed it. Great themes. According to some online previews (grain of salt please), sounds like they were pretty accurate to the comic. I'll be seeing it friday =)

This was the comic that got me into reading comic books in the first place. Rorschach is easily the best anti-hero in the medium. Been looking forward to this for a while, especially since Snyder got the go ahead to direct it. You probably won't miss too much by not seeing it theaters. The action in the story really isn't that elaborate or extravagent, so I can't see the spectacle of the movie being too large.

And if your going to see it in theaters, wait a few months for them to release the extended directors cut in theaters in June.

I'm wanting to go see it this weekend, but the director's cut is tempting clicking in at a whopping 220 minutes long. almost four hours long. The Regular version of the movie is long in itself at 163 minutes. I'll probably end up watching both of them.

saw it tonight pretty accurate to the Book, there were a few scenes that made me wonder if I was watching a Porno, the sex scene's IMO took away from the movie, and I don't need to keep seeing Dr. Manhattan's twigs and berries every 2 seconds, I mean it's the freaking movies you can't tell me that they couldn't have done some tricky photograph to keep me from seeing that.

This just looks like a "wait for rental" for me. I'm not into comic books at all (or "graphic novels" if you want to be a prick) and movies based off comic books, video games, etc etc are usually god awful.

We've been doing well on the comic book front lately, Mesmer lol. But yeah, I'm still waiting for that good video game adaptation to come out.

I generally like movies from Gaphic Novels or comics. The Crow was a very good graphic novel and a pretty good movie. (They could have kept the follow on Superman or Batman movies (Except the Dark Knight ones.)

Hellboy's and X-Men have been good. At least it's not a rehash of past movies or movies from old TV shows. (No more Charlie's Angels, Beverly Hillbillies, Maverick etc.)

    • Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO 
    • Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years 
    • Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
