Mar 9 2009Who Made the 'Watchmen'? (The People in This Credits Sequence)

I thought this was the coolest part of the movie. Not that the rest of it wasn't good, it was just beautiful.

Hollywood Rules!!!

soo... the comedian is the man on the grassy knoll? good to know

And Niteowl is supoposed to be fat. My friend told me and he read it.

Radio Shack's mask looks fake btw

Not enough floppy dick in this...

come gather round people wherever you roam and admit that the waters around you have grown and accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone if your time to you is worth savin' then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone for the times they are a-changin'.

i hated the soundtrack. the songs did not fit the mood of the scenes. ruined it for me.

@7 I totally agree. But maybe I'm not enough of a 'hipster' to enjoy it.

Hellloooo, were is the monday box office post?

cool, nite owl I saves bruce wayne's parents.

I agree that if Warner Bros. used this opening as a trailer for the movie, it might have been less confusing and people would have understood the premise a little better. Personally, I thought that the commercials were a little confusing. I watched a video that stated people think this is a "dark movie for dark times". Does anyone think that is true?

@7 Why not? I loved the 80s soundtrack because it was obviously appropriate in that time period.

Brilliant opening credits. Almost made me cry.

As a die hard fanboy I expected to hate this movie but I ended up actually enjoying it -even the mindfuck ending. I guess I will get my rage back when they rape Alita, Ghost in the Shell and Akira...

oh and BTW, eighties and whatnot the music sucked

The music itself didn't really suck - they're all great songs, and the music choices couldnt be blamed either - they were all songs referenced in the comic. What DID suck was the timing and use of those songs in the film. Whenever they came in, they destroyed the atmosphere rather than elevating it, which is what film music is all about.

I honestly think this opening is the best bit of the film, and actually the only bit that showed any film-making sense. The rest of the movie was just a shot-for-shot 98% well done remake of the comic (ignoring the end chance and side-story omissions). I really wanted to see a Watchmen FILM, with poignant moments of interesting direction, and well-built emotions. The fact that the film is such a loyal adaptation of the comic is a good thing for purists, but it stopped it from being a really great FILM.

I'm a huge fan of the comic, and I knew that there was no way they could possibly translate all of the ideas onto the screen, let alone all of the psychological depth, but their strict adherence to recreating the source material robbed the film of being a standalone piece of art. As such, the movie was completely pointless, as was it's creation.

Anyone agree?

Don't forget "Panic Room" for 3D-text-in-the-environment titles.... That is one of the first ones I remember seeing.

@ will -very well put will and I agree completely

I need pictures of the empire that was built towards the end. All help in getting pics of all angels of the structure would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
sincerely randy

angles not angels lol if you look at my blog on myspace (Still Growing Internationally Inc.) you will get an idea why.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH U PEOPLE, THE SOUNDTRACK TO THIS MOVIE WAS THE BEST SOUNDTRACK IVE EVER HEARD, and i think the songs were well placed throughout the movie
