The movie was F-ing great. Your review was on the money. Heath's joker was phenominal and I'm happy Rachel "maggie" died, I couldn't stand that biatch.

I loved that thank you for smoking movie.

Wow......I'm Jacked to go see it.

Fantastic Review! I have read several reviews of the film but this one was out of this world. I love the comparison's and alliterations and the review kept me intrigued and wanting to see the movie.

I never thought a Batman movie could top the first one in my mind...but it sounds like this one has a chance.

By the way.....Rich we need a spoiler alert next time.........

Yeah, movie foul Rich. Too new to give shit away.

Thanks for the compliments guys. That movie was outstanding.

I liked Thank You For Smoking too Rich. When I saw that Aaron Eckhart was playing Dent, I new he'd be great in part becasue of that movie.

Scotty, Watchmen was a 12 part comic miniseries back in 1986-87, which was then compiled into a graphic novel. I know it looks like Frank Miller's style but it's not. It was written by Alan Moore, he did V For Vendetta and From Hell.

Most critics hold Watchmen as the greatest graphic novel ever written. I've actually never read it but it's suppose to be legendary. I was thinking about picking it up but I'm not sure I care enough about the characters.

It's about an alternate 1985 where Nixon is still president on an unlimited term and the Watchmen are a group of rouge vigilantes protecting the city, but by their own rules. Only one of them actually has super powers, Mr. Manhattan. The rest are Batman like.

It looked liked a cool movie. There was a character, in the preview, that looked like Batman.

Good review Kokoa , I really can't think of another comic book adaptation better than this.Great movie, the only thing I never like is that fake tough guy voice Bale does when he turns to Batman, does donning the suit automatically give him a deep grungy voice ala Slipknot or does it come with a throat cancer voice box.....
That shit is just too fake !

I knew you were going to say that Juan, but actually it's a device Batman uses so his real voice can't be detected. Bruce Wayne and Batman know some of the same people.

That started in Batman: The Animated Series. The best cartoon ever. Aired in the 90's on Fox. Kevin Conroy the voice actor used two distinctly different voices for Batman and Bruce Wayne.
