“November the 5th”

“Remember, remember, the 5th of November the Gunpowder treason and plot. I see no reason why the Gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.”

Watchmen, Хранители

На персонажа Роршаха на удивление удачно ложится Кровосток.

The character of Rorschach is surprisingly successful in getting a Krovostok. EN: Many people do not know at all what they are doing on this planet. And I know for sure - in this sense, I do them all. It is necessary to defeat every enemy to the f*cking death.

In my opinion, this is the very BEST Alan Moore ending in his entire body of work. 100%

Do you think Batman killed The Joker? Or did he have him sent back to Arkham?

V for Vendetta by Alan Moore.

A story originally created to serve as a warning of what could possibly arise from the Thatcherite government of the 1980s, V for Vendetta has stood the test of time as one of the premier works of the comic book medium. A story that tells a tale of tyranny and the valiant effort made to thwart it that's as timeless as it is harrowing.

Gotta say, I think this is a great movie. But I wouldn't say it's the best adaptation. As great of a film as it is, it is emotionally draining and it's not something that I would consider watching repeatedly. I just can't get my head around Watchmen being two or three hours long. I always felt like the series depends on an almost-miniseries build-up.

No, it doesn't bother me at all that the Extra-Dimensional Biological Entity is not in it (however, if that bothers you, I understand, and you have my sympathies). The one change that bothered me was how they changed Rorschach's origin scene, because the filmmakers felt that it was way too similar to the climax of the first Saw movie, and my feeling on that is that Rorschach's origin was already a rip-off of Mad Max's origin. So why is this an issue now? Other than that, I really enjoyed this film.

As much as I don't like Zack Snyder, I can't deny that he is a brilliant visual creator and everything in the trailer seemed right, if not completely spot-on. To be totally honest, I even geeked out a little when I first saw it.
