About Nixon, could they have found an actor that looked less like him? I don’t think so. Seriously. And did they REALLY need to super exaggerate his nose like that? There were just a lot of things that I found annoying to watch. But that’s just me of course.

I think you may have missed the point that it was a parody of superheroes. A dystopian society in which Nixon never left?

I don’t think it was ever meant to be a nice little superhero film, where the good guys are always right, in the end.

I liked it.

Oh yes, a murderer and rapist is one good guy, and a child molestor another. Then someone who kills millions of people, his actions are justified and somehow brings world peace where everyone drives the Prius. Then let’s tell the story in endless flashbacks, even flashbacks within flashbacks, oh, but how about flashbacks within flashbacks that are within a flashback?

I thought the movie was pretty annoying, just saw it the other day… I like how in one scene Dr. Manhattan says that a world without nuclear weapons will still be in danger, then in the end he’s all like “oh, that will make them not use nukes at each other, I agree that will bring on world peace.” I guess he forgot what he had said earlier. Not to mention, even if he would have let that guy go to tell the world the truth about the bomb, they probably would still “unite” to try to take that person down. Except now they will try to take down that Adrian guy instead of Dr. Manhattan, big difference… Way to use your brain Dr. Manhattan…

Too bad in real life a tragedy like that will only unite people for a very short period of time. When the pain fades, the memory will too. Hm… what would be a perfect example of that?…

@chrisj

sorry it took so long to respond. still trying to get through my emails because of transformers lol.

Whiplash won’t look like that throughout the movie, at least I’ve heard it’s an early version of what he develops as a suit. That should be the opening scene of the movie or early on at least to introduce the character.

That outfit puts me more in mind of Omega Red…

Anyway, I know Jon F won’t let us down on this. He did such an amazing job with the first!

Are you guys kidding? This looks disappointing? This is either the opening scene or a part early in the movie where stark finds out about whiplash. Gonna be sick!

Vic you’re probably right I mean this can’t be as possibly as disappointing as Watchmen right?

@greenknight

It’s early yet. I’m sure there will be some awesomeness unleashed for this film at Comic-Con at the end of July.
