Well as of tomorrow, the 21st of July, the DVD of Watchmen will be out at retailers across the country.Are any of you buying it? I have my copy preordered from Wal-Mart.com (where I got 53% off of the price simply BECAUSE I was ordering it online) and it should be in anywhere between the 24th and 28th.
Many people complained about Zach Snyder taking out the giant squid for the ending. Personally that was my most HATED part of the graphic novel: it was equal parts inane and unrealistic in a comic book that had, up until that point, been believable. Snyder's solution and ending was much more solid and believeable in the Watchmen verse and I thought it fit better with Dr. Manhattan and his leaving of Earth.
But enough about my views on the movie, I thought it was the most faithful comic adaption ever filmed, and though many viewers just didn't "get it" as they were expecting more "emo Spiderman jazz numbers" and family friendly fun...I did enjoy the film and the performances from the actors; especially Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach.
If any of you are planning on buying the film in any of it's varying release formats, post here and say why you're buying what you're buying.
I'm getting the 2-Disc Directors Cut of the film on DVD since I don't own a Blu-Ray player of ANY type. I can't WAIT until it comes it! :D
