[QUOTE="Endur, post: 1156749, member: 3346"] Politically Incorrect ... because of 9/11 and the destroyed city in Watchmen is NYC. Likely to flop. I disagree. If the movie was true to the comic book, I do not think it would flop. The name of the series is "The Watchmen." The whole idea, from beginning to end, is to talk about "Who Watches the Watchmen" and the effect on the global balance of power of the USA having superheroes. People above the law. The ending is appropriate. The clear implication is that the newspaper is going to publish Rorschach's journal, and that someday, Ozymandias will be implicated. I agree that this movie is not a vehicle most major actors would want to be associated with. All of the "characters" are failures in one way or another. Major actors, the type that want to play heroes, do not want to be failures. Also, the movie suffers from the problem that its really hard to have a sequel. [/QUOTE]
