and yeah, there's no need for a sequel, at all.

[Smash Adams]

I thought this would be a sequel to the movie, which would at least make financial sense

[wrppdarndyrfngr]

if the comics do well you can count on a movie.


this ia such a terrible idea.

[ReadyForAction]

how would that work out

[DanTGD]

didn't like the film, won't like the sequel

[Montauk1222]

I liked the first one but I don't really see how this could happen.

[seraph1214]

This is disappointing.

[Christrings]

and yeah, there's no need for a sequel, at all.

this.

[roughroads]

Figures Vader would be in-front of ruining a series by making an unnecessary sequel to a great movie

[anthonydarko]

No, just no.

[GeeBee]

Sequels often suck.

[xlife2lifelessx]

[Protested Hero]

[TheOtherAndrew]

Oh cool, fan fiction with a multi-million dollar budget.

[williek311]

Worst idea ever? Yes.

[Theher3tic]

Why.

[<*)))><]

Yes Yes Yes oh about the movie no.

[element4433]

Please no.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

Wut. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[*crying stars*]

A sequel to the graphic novel? Awful.
A sequel to the movie? Extremely awful.

[Thomas Balkcom]

not that it matters because it's still awful no matter what, but reverse this to me.

[yellowhouse]

huh?

[saysmydoctor]

I've heard worse ideas. This still sucks though.

[*crying stars*]

Hahaha, I couldn't decide which one would be worse; the movie was bad, but if anyone besides Alan Moore actually does Watchmen, it's just going to be so shitty.
There aren't even plot holes where they can continue the story from, unless they decide to follow it without Dr. Manhattan, which would just be weird. And they can't do a prequel because that's semi-woven into the story anyhow. Grrrr.

the very fact that there is a thread titled "Watchmen 2" that isn't some sort of bad joke is terrible.

[EvilZeppelin]

I didn't know they author made another book. sarcasm.

[gilatron5000]

I've heard worse ideas. This still sucks though.This is like making a sequel to Casablanca or Citizen Kane.

At least with regards to comics, there are no worse ideas.

Honestly, where do you go from Rosebud?

[-Aaron-]

Only chance the sequel could be good is if Moore decided to write it.

[thisisadisaster]

probably the worst idea i have ever heard.

i guess i could support comic prequels (maybe individual comics about the older masks before they were outlawed) but its clearly not necessary. thats the only way i see it not being a train wreck because honestly the stories dont have to intermingle with the graphic novel.

[Prestonxsmith]

If this is with the comic, I would possibly read some comics. If this is for movies, fuck that.

[muchoawesomeo]

they did the first movie horribly wrong, it should have been two movies to begin with.

[introduction]

watchmen is the only graphic novel i've ever read, and i plan to keep it that way, sequel or no.

[:-)]

[tawtaw]

I disagree. I think the movie did a fantastic job of delivering the story of the book in a way that doesn't get tiring like it did in the comic. It made the story more condensed and easier to take in. Two different experiences, but I'd say I'm more likely to watch the movie again than read the book (unless I find myself wanting to re-read that endless segment of Dr. Manhattan in space.)

A Watchmen movie with every tiny detail from the book would be boring. I was actually surprised at how much they managed to squeeze in.

[airik625]

Bad bad bad idea. Disappointing.

[x13looDx]

I understand that both Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons have to be offered first refusal before any of these titles could be published. But if they don’t want to work on them themselves (and Alan Moore is never going to agree)

no alan moore, no good

[bladerdude360]

Uh oh, probably wouldn't be very good.

opinions are fine

[thisisadisaster]

thisisadisaster

basically.

[patentpending]

I hated the first film. Diluting and dumbing everything down instead of splitting it into two parts was the worst thing they could have done. People thinking that the audience at large would have gotten bored or frustrated with the story is just wrong. Look at how well Dark Knight did or how well Lost is doing. America isn't that dumb and they don't need everything spoon fed to them all the time. I think it would have been more fun and fulfilling for people to anticipate and follow a long an thorough and in depth version rather then condensing it the way they did.

By doing that they pretty much cock slapped the fans of the graphic novel and confused the people who had not read the graphic novel. Not to mention the awkward transitioning and poor execution of the complete splice up of the story, which is proven in audience response and how the movie tanked after the initial hype. This movie was painful and embarrassing to sit through. The only reason I'd ever watch it again is for JDL's fantastic performance.

A sequel is completely unnecessary.

[love_american_style]

what a terrible idea.

[Propeace101]

Having a sequel is such a dumb idea.

[Wake Up]

I wudn't mind a sequel or five.

I was surprised (not really that surprised) at how hollywood they made it. Whenever someone mentions this movie to me, I instantly think of the scene where the building is burning and full of people and all of those awful, irrelevant slow motion effects they use, not to mention the cheesy dialogue when Rorschach apologizes to Night Owl in Archies Hanger. /vomit

It echoed something of the same feeling i felt when I saw Spiderman 3. Purely awful and gimmicky.

[steveC]

this is bullshit. the generic heroes were created for a purpose. nite owl was clearly a batman ripoff, and so on, but it was for a reason. this is taking a classic graphic novel and what i thought was a pretty great movie and turning it into something that it was never meant to be. as much as i'm attached to the characters and all of that, the integrity of a great work of art needs to be respected. is nothing sacred?

It's a sequel to the novel, but thanks for playing. I appreciated your rant.
