A lot of book adaptations now a days have not been well recieved. Eragon wasn’t praised very well (personally I liked it), and The Golden Compass got mixed reviews. And Twilight, well, I’m not expecting much, and I’m not seeing it in the theaters to say who bad it will be (I may be the only boy in there). The Twilight book was terrible in my opinion, but a lot of other people did. A lot of fans may be proud, but I’m not one of them.

I am totally sick of seeing horror remakes. Can’t they just come up with new ideas? I mean, The Orphanage was an original idea, and it was GREAT. Most horror remakes now a days are total trash. I don’t really care to see this movie, nor do I think it’ll be a great movie. Plus, it’s Michael Bay. The only movie he ever made that was good, in my opinion, was Transformers.

Watchmen, well, it’s gonna be fucking awesome. No doubt

I agree that 300 was a very good movie, it´s just the style of that comic and watchmen are so very, very different and I think the movies look stylistically too similar.

And Twilight is one of those movies that make people read books, gotta respect that. But I don´t get that franchise at all.

For me, 300 was a great movie. No it the best movie ever made. No it wasn’t the best film of the year (I actually thought Sweeney odd and Ratatouille tied for best), but was still great. Watchmen looks even better. Never have I been so hyped for a movie. This move will rock.

In the end, though, Twilight and Friday the 13th will suck.

I haven´t been more excited about a move since Fellowship of the Ring. Watchmen will be a monster. I love seeing sequences that are lifted straight from the source material in motion.

BUT

My one problem with what we´ve seen of Watchmen is that it feels a bit too stylized, a bit too …well.. superhero-y. The whole point of the book is that these people (with one notable exception) are grounded in our physical reality, they aren´t traditional superheroes. I would prefer a more realistic, grounded feel. That was one of the wonderful the people behind Dark Knight got right. It felt real. The fact that Watchmen (at least in trailer form) feels almost as (for lack of a better word) artificial as 300 has me worried.

But if they capture one percent of the brilliance of the comic this will probably be the best movie next year. Can´t wait.

I wish Twilight would only make a cent, or even no money at all, but, sadly, that’s not gonna happen.

Let the Right One In is gonna be AMAZING. I’d rather check that one out then Twilight.

I’m expecting a 9/100 for Twilight and a 98/100 for Let the Right One In.

Watchmen looks good.
F13 looks generic
Twilight. I don’t care about Twilight.

Twilight looks awful. Like the Convenant or that silly Blood and Chocolate movie. Why are so many people excited about this? Educate me….I know it is based on a graphic novel or whatever. Looks just like a bunch of Abercrombie models floating around on wires.
