I really enjoyed Watchmen. Always thought the opening credits to Bob Dylans 'The Times Are A-Changing' went extremely hard...

I didn't mind the film. It followed the source material pretty closely with a few changes here and there. I personally prefer the graphic novel, as there's a lot in there that immerses you into the world, like reading the comic within the comic, or excerpts from the original Night Owls biography. Just little things like that. Alan Moore is just nuts with the details.

I need to get a better gaming PC so I can rock this with some FGers. I hope there's a console release coming at some point.

They should probably just move on - the game is never gonna have a No Mans Sky-type turnaround because the core design is so flawed. They'd be better off accepting the feedback and moving onto other games. Unless they are going to remove 950 planets and massively overhaul the handcrafted ones then it'll just be the same old problems with worthless added padding.

Bethesda have plans for improvements to the game. I've played about 30 hours, it's alright, doesn't blow me away, I may hang back for updates, will see...

I've played the new version and it's excellent, will have to try and pull a few others in

I finished this the other week. Hot damn, that was fun to play through again. Even the secret boss from the original is in there, and exactly the same. Once you've finished the game, you can access, and challenge more powerful bosses that you've fought previously, and they are tough. It all culminates with another fight against Culex, but an updated, polygon, 3d version that is tougher than the previous versions. It's a damn good fight. If you haven't checked it out, please do. This is a perfect remake of an SNES classic.

This one just released on Xbox Series X, PS5, and has been in early access on PC for a bit. A rouge-lite that's giving me some Metroid Dread vibes. My kind of game.

I've been making my way through this when @Rumelylady isn't cleaning a playground on Powerwash Sim, and it's been pretty decent so far. I like all the case boards, and connecting the dots with crimes. Wake has a writer's board that functions similarly but allows him to "change the story" which essentially shifts the environments to get further. Visually, it looks amazing from top to bottom. They do an excellent job utilizing light sources that boarders on damn near realistic. I also dig the real-life cinematics throughout the game so far. Remedy knows their shit when it comes to that. The voice acting is great as usual. So far so good.

Ignore the fail jump in the beginning lol, didn't realize I was low on boost RL McNasty20 playing Rocket League® XBOXCLIPS.COM RL McNasty20 playing Rocket League®. View more Xbox clips at XboxClips.com

I prefer the graphic novel as the animation leaves some stuff out but it's still pretty decent

What's this Superman animation called? Wouldn't mind having a look into that.

I've heard it's a beast in warzone. I hated going for gold on it took me a while.

Not personally a fan of superhero movies, I prefer to read the comics. If superhero movies were animated I'd probably enjoy them. There's a superman story (Red Sun) where its an alternate reality and he landed in totalitarian Russia, which i read 10 years ago... and that's now been animated, so I have a copy 🙂 That said, I did enjoy Watchmen, I like a lot of Alan Moore's work and the director did it justice.

I thought it was a really good film back when I watched it. Something very different to the usual superhero films you see out there. Always struggle with top 5s/10s, etc as I forget films and also love different films for different reasons. Having said that....its probably top 10 for me.

Has anyone tried the DG-58 'One Burst' loadout yet? Apparently it's crazy OP.

Forgot about robocop (original) loved that growing up

Joker Watchmen The Dark Knight Robocop Dredd My top 5, not in any order.

That's fine, I just didn't understand your view on the politics in the film. Where as I would say that the Marvel franchise dives deep into Modern politics. (Probably why I can't get along with the films) If understand correctly I would say you prefer idealism rather than realism and like the spectacle of the Superhero films. And I on the other hand prefer films that feel raw and I disconnect easily from the extraordinary. Either way I value your opinion pal 👍

Funny thing is mate, I've probably watched Watchmen about 5 times and like I said, I'm not saying it's a bad film, it's just not a good superhero film. Logan Avengers Infinity War Endgame Iron-man Thor Ragnorok Guardians 1 & 3 Shang Chi Spiderman 1 & 2 (Tobey) Spiderman No way home Black Panther 1 & 2 Captain America Winter Soldier Captain America Batman Begins The Dark Knight The Dark Knight Rises The Batman Justice League (Snyder Cut) Dr Strange All better 'Superhero' films for me. The thing with MCU pal to why people like it so much isn't due to attention grabbing explosions, it's because of the 10 year project they put together for the Infinity Saga, putting so many bits and pieces together and linking it all together at the end for 2 incredible films to close it out.

Honest question @Macca89, when did you watch it?

I agree 👍

Doesn't have anything to do with politics. It questions basic personal morality. The character Rorschach is the perfect example of this always choosing to do what's morally 'right'. I much prefer this type of film opposed to the attention grabbing 'explosions every 5 minutes' type of superhero films.

I think it’s a refreshing take on those movies and Snyder really hit the mark with the feeling of doom and gloom. Great casting too.

Honest to god a great movie. Best superhero movie? Probably not. Top 5? Most definitely

And this proves why Watchmen is not a good superhero movie, it tries to cater to "highly educated" and goes way over the top for what it needs to be. Taking the superhero aspect out of it, probably a decent film, but your not going into a superhero film wanting to listen to bullshit political views for half the film, bored the living fuck out of me, felt like I was running a pub again listening to drunk pissheads talk about politics. 6/10

Fine, I'll watch it then.

I don't think that's true, the film stands up well by itself. Obviously reading the comics would give you some extra backstory but I don't think it's necessary to enjoy it.

Watchmen is a film showing the moral conflict within superheroes trying to save the world in a dark tone. While other superhero films don't explore the psychology and moral compass of the superheroes, Zack Snyder takes an ambitious approach to portray these complexities, making it the best film he ever made. - Financial Express

Honestly, I have never watched it & was told without reading the comics that I wouldn’t enjoy it.
