That observation would work if the world of Watchmen was a binary good/evil one. It isn't and thus this does not apply.

gb8898, you make me not want to talk about this movie. You make me just want to tell you your not very smart. Although you like to try to sound brilliant. You say, "Humanity's flaws are of a personal nature? … it is when the State attempts to impose an arbitrary set of "righteousness" (usually guided by personal morality) on the populace that all goes to hell." Personal morality?. Do you actually think that our society and ALL other societies do not impose a moral behavior on the populace? They're called laws, and they're kind of important. Your "personal morality" suggests that we should all live by our own set of rules. Murder? Why not!? Stop trying to sound smart. You're not. I can't wait for your response dummy.

- "Rather than take distant and imaginary aliens, he makes it appear that Manhattan has struck at AND DISARMED humanity, creating an enforced peace rather than nudging us into an alliance against a common threat"

So they've decided to rip off "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "I, Robot," and who knows what else?

i mean i don't know what he's talking about regarding the Joker being the real victim and Batman being the real villain. The Joker is never more villainous than he is in Killing Joke, just because he has a sad backstory doesn't change that.

The New York Times doesn't like it–too long and TOO faithful to the book, which seems to be the consensus among most critics, at least those who claim to have read the book, but don't appear to be fans of it. But themes aside, I think the length and graphic violence may be the deal breaker that keeps families away. I fear this may have a great Friday/Saturday, then crash on Sunday.

If you think Rorschach is remotely sympathetic, you're completely psychologically damaged, just FYI.

God reads the book of the universe from outside time. And yes, Misterd, I agree with point #1.

I believe I read the graphic novel, not the series. Long time ago so …. I do remember Manhattan getting all excited about not being able to tell the future in a tunnel, and getting excited about the unlikelihood of a particular sperm meeting a particular egg….I thought he was trying to keep people from being angry at him for his determinism or just trying to soften the blow. Like…let me break your jaw, and here's a bag of ice. Typical tricks….he gives the 'stupid' a fig leaf to let them hide their quivering minds behind.

Hey, Debbie Schlussel posted her review of the Watchmen movie and it's all negative. Four Marxes and a plus.

The last year's Batman movie, the Dark Knight, is almost based on The Killing Joke, an one-shot comic by Alan Moore and Brian Bollard on the origin of the Joker.
