The Watchmen was better than The Dark Knight
    #10169254 - 04/15/09 02:10 AM (14 years, 11 months ago)

I could make a long argument on the topic but it's too late.  I'll keep it short.  Watchmen was more true to like in the fact that everything is grey area.  Batman's Dark Knight went for the black and white; good vs evil.  That's never the true case.

The Dark Knight was trash, it made no sense and was cheap. Since when did the Joker get to become invincible? they played off Ledgers death to make little girls ginnys tickle(like any responsible movie maker would). That stupid clown didn't have any gag, he was just gay and emo. 

Watchmen has a great story line and I loved the original comic.

watchmen had such a nice flow to it:


and technically it owned Batman since in the beginning credits they show Night Owl rescuing Bruce Waynes parents from being robbed and preventing The Batman from even existing.

I loved Watchmen for the ultimate dilemma and truest scenario and loved the Dark Knight for the escapism it provides that good will always surpass evil. Watchmen ftw.

Watchmen was good, but nowhere near as good as it could have been. TDK was much better for the fact that it appealed to all people, my friends who hadn't read Watchmen were way too confused. That's a shitty way to make a movie. And no squid? Fucking lame.

I liked dark knight better. I was always a marvel over dc.  So with that being said batman is more of a known character to me than watchmen. Everyone knows batman. 

The story behind watchmen is better, but I would still rather watch the dark knight.  Something about those corny ass outfits in movie throws you have from getting to deep into the movie.   



But then again I can't stand batman the way he talks, sounded like he had a mouth full of somthing everytime he did talk.

I didn't understand all of the hype about DN either. I just didn't think it was put together well. All of my friends love the movie and think it is the best movie ever. I think it was ok, but I would much rather watch Batman Begins.

I have yet to watch watchmen, but it seems so awesome. I will waiting for the blue-ray to come out. I don't see the reason in paying 10 bucks to go watch a movie in a theater that has shittier sound and picture than my home. A total waste of money.

Watchmen came out on DVD today.  They have an extended edition that adds on another 25 minutes to make it 3 hours long.  Ehh, I think it's just fine at 2 and an half hours long.

UC666 watchmen was fucking awesome. it wasn't a mindless action movie with superheroes just doing a WWF show with monsters. Watchment had a deep plot, fine characters with a life of their own and it explores the whole superhero genre, like the human side and all that philosophical stuff, its no comic book bs, its like real life movie with superhero sidelines.

i recommend it fully, it's destined to become a cult classic like apocalypse now.

how the hell were they gonna shove the whole deal behind the squid into this movie?
I don't think they could have done it.  The movie's already almost 3 hours long.

The squid is the main thing that kept that comic hokey.  I think the movie makers deliberately left out the squid to de-hokey-fy the movie.

The Godfather.

Watchmen was a better comic than the batman comics the dark knight was inspired by.  Im referring to the Killing Joke, Year One etc..

However as a movie the Dark Knight was much better than Watchmen.  Honestly I enjoyed Watchmen because I knew the comic, but as a movie the director who made it can't compare to the Dark Knight director.

you can't really compare watchmen to dark night.  i havn't even seen watchmen but the first movie is always better, hence i liked batman begins better.  plus christain bale i dunno i think he's loosing his touch.  i think his best movie was reign of fire, or thats the one i enjoyed the most anyway mostly because it was semi original and i tend to lean towards scifi.

at any rate i plan to rent watchmen tomorrow

the opening credit montage is one of the best things i've seen in a long long time.

I judge these movies for what they are.
they are ther for my entertainment, and if i feel entertained after watchin then its worth it.
with that said I think both movies rocked.



I cant belive this thread has gone on this long without anyone mentioning the giant blue dick prominent throught 1/2 of the watchmen tho....

I agree.  We didn't need to see so much blue penis.  Maybe the females liked it though  :shrug:

It hardly looked like much of a dick though considering he is glowing and blue.

Have not seen the Watchmen, but I read the comic, and can see many similarities to the Dark Knight. Even so, my gut reaction to the Dark Knight was almost opposite to the Watchmen. There is a reason every American loved the Dark Knight.

"But who will watch the watchmen?" Lets be over general and say that The Watchmen is cynical - in that sense, critical and subversive.

On the other hand, The Dark Knight is a more American brand of cynicism, intensely patriotic in character. The necessary deception of the people, the acceptance of political puppetry and corruption, and ultimately the justification of measures beyond what is to the people's knowledge and acceptance - this is the ideological message of The Dark Knight.

Both are very cynical on the surface, but cynicism is an established value now. They are heroes of different ages.

you doubt I was actually laughing.....uh ok?

I was there with like 4 other friends....about 15 minutes into the movie is when I let out my first fit of hysterical laughter .....didn't end till the movie was over. Which is funny b/c after a while my friends started laughing too...

and i think it was a good thing because at some parts when it was just SO cheezy, i would actually start to get every1 else in the theatre to laugh with us...we were laughing damn hard

i actually haven't had that much fun in a movie theatre in a while

that's awesome  :dizope:

I like laughing at movies that are annoying- when I saw Superman Returns I couldn't stop laughing at the funeral scene, what a waste of 30 fucking minutes.  but yea- watchmen was pretty annoying

Maybe one message appeals to some people and another message to others ... but IMO there is absolutely no basis for saying Watchmen was "better" than Dark Knight.

Watchmen, cinematically speaking, was a huge pile of dogshit. The plot's pacing was terrible, the acting was weak, zero of the characters were worth caring about, it completely overplayed it's "message," and it crammed in so much CG nonsense that after the first 45 minutes it was impossible to care about anything they did, special-effects-wise.

Say what you will about Dark Knight, but the Joker was a fantastic character and the special effects were great(largely due to the fact that they weren't all CG). I'm not saying "Dark Knight best movie ever omgwtf!" -- in fact I think Dark Knight is a bit overrated -- but comparing it to Watchmen is ludicrous.

I don't think they could have done it.  The movie's already almost 3 hours long.

The squid is the main thing that kept that comic hokey.  I think the movie makers deliberately left out the squid to de-hokey-fy the movie.





The squid fucking owns. You sir are a joke.




I didn't say that I didn't like the squid!

i just watched it, its kinda crazy and hard to follow. im glad they explained most of it at the end otherwise i wouldn't know wtf happened.  even after they explained it, it still didn't make sense maybe i need to watch it again or something.

for example i still don't know why that guy had to die at the beginning. i still don't know what the point was about when he broke into that one guys house, nor do i understand about the 2 people on the list.

Watchmen sucked cuz it basically defecated all over the original comic, and didn't make much sense out of context of the book that it barely did any justice to.

Dark Night was better because it was fuckin' badass.

Alan Moore filled Watchmen with Illuminati symbols, and he has spent most of his life and conspiracy and still says "There is no one in control."
