Watchmen spoilers

Mon Feb 23, 2009, 5:33 AM
We're only one week away for the theater release of the movie The Watchmen. I've read the Graphic Novel, so I know what the story is about. I'm curious to see what how the director is going to put ALL that information into one movie.

Also I've heard that the metaphoric pirate story will also be included. So I'm guessing the movie might be at least 2 hours long. Break it apart the pirate story will be thirty minutes long and the movie itself would be one and a half hours long.

I doubt one and a half hours will be enough to cover the whole story. If you ask me, the director should hold off the pirate story and make it an extra in the special edition DVD.

Whatever the case, I'm sure the movie will be great and will inspire future superheroes movies to come.

Edit:
I've discovered the problem has been solved. The pirate story "The Black Freighter" separate DVD that'll be coming soon.

To be honest I don't know what to make of it. On one hand we don't have to worry about sitting in the theater for 3 hours watching the movie. But on the other hand, we're going to loose how the Black Freighter story give metaphors on each scene as well as the cool seaways in-between them.

As well as....

How the tale explains the sacrifice Adrian made to destroy Midtown in order to prevent a nuclear holocaust.

actually the movie you'll see in theatres is about 2 hours and a 1/2 hours, the director's cut on DVD will be about 3 hours and the like i guess "ultimate FINAL edition" DVD after that, the one that includes the Black Freighter DVD stuff mixed into the movie will clock in at somewhere around the 3 hours, 30 mins mark. I;m glad they let Zack Snyder go for 2 and 1/2 hours theatrically, even 2 hours seems too short :-P

I'm reading the Watchman for a class I have. It's rather interesting and I'm curious as to how he will be putting all of that into the movie itself.

Even better my friend, the director has stated that in his directors cut version, he will be incorporating the entire black freighter story line in the movie. As well as any extras that he couldn't put into the theatrical version. so the directors cut DVD will be the true representation of the movie.

Please don't show me whether you're right or wrong. I know too much on the movie already,if this is true then I want to be surprised.

I am excited for it but I am kinda scared. I mean, this is a comic that had such a wide time line and there were so many aspects to it that I don't know if you can fit things together well without making it rapid fire and keeping out small but important things. Though Zack seems to think everything will be fine and has promised many extras features for those who have read the graphic novel so hopefully it will live up to the hype.
