Bulovski Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Is Watchmen hardbound as well? I never got what was so great about The killing joke. It was a very predictable, very dull story, nothing clever about it. And aside from that one flashback of the Joker there is nothing outstanding about any of the characters. The artwork was barely average at best. really? The Killing Joke is the one story which defines Batman's character and his relationship with Joker better than any other novel. Batman and Gordon will go by the book in the face of extreme anarchy because that's what they stand for. And Batman will never kill Joker, and Joker doesn't trust the world to be sane, and he wants to bring anarchy. I thought getting such a message across in such a short story arc was brilliant. Also, I liked the artwork with all the vibrant colours - it suits the mood of the novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: Oh please dont come up with the dialogues of the movie. During the entire movie i felt like pulling the mask of that freak and yelling at him, Chris Tucker style, "DO YOU SPEAKA THE ENGLISH???"

Right Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) ^IMO it did. But many liked it, its on Top250 on IMDB and has rating of 8.2, but still its very mediocre movie, actually really bad. I mean Wachowskis did Matrix, then things started going downhill, and hit the nadir with this. Anyway, enough OT Edited April 28, 2009 by Udham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 ^^ Hehe. Here is a bigger heresy. I thought the graphic novel was mediocre at best. /Exits in a hail of fanboy abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastAvenger Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 ooh!! forgot that dialog Imo when i watched V for Vendetta a few years back, i thought it was just alright and wasn't too great but re-watching it made a lot of difference so i feel you need a certain level of age to get a grip of the movie, i think Pol. Sc. made a difference since this movie was discussed quite exhaustively. Can't wait for The Watchmen in 1080p being played in the projector in the class Enough with OT i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
