Jackie Earle Haley was amazing as Rorschach. This movie was so much better than people gave it credit for.
1000% correct on both counts.
This is imo the best super hero movie ever made.
Not as much spectacle as the Marvel movie (which is not always bad) but sooo much better story and its excellently shot, jesus christ.
When Zack misses he is the biggest clown in Hollywood but when he hits, there is nothing else like it.
@@F1rstWorldNomaD My only problem is that Zack misses the point of a few parts of the comic and underestimates the audience. The end result is that a few characters end up looking stupid and some lines just don't work in the new context. It's still a good movie, but those parts lessen it for me a bit. The squid was probably a good thing to cut, but there were a number of other things he changed that changed meanings of other scenes.
I will also say he absolutely nails the Manhattan flashbacks. Easily one of my favorite parts.
Its because they completely missed the message of the source material, Rorsach is supposed to be a right wing lunatic with delusions of righteousness, not a justified vigiliante
Bad News Bears
"I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me." My favorite movie line.
Too hardcore. 😂🤌
They’ll look to me and ask for help. I’ll whisper no
It works best when it follows a hot grease bath
Same here. That line just beats em all. He’s basically saying Don’t get it twisted. You just don’t know what you think you know. It makes me think of Hancock when Smith is in prison and the inmates surround him. I wouldn’t have been in that circle even with all those guys. I would be on the sideline eating popcorn enjoying the show like that Michael Jackson meme.
First time I saw this in the theatre and heard him say that line, I was blown away.
I love the emotion conveyed when the line " ...God didn't make the world this way. We did. " was said. It felt raw.
'Rorschach is out of control'
- No, he is 100% in control. Until death.
In an insane world, he was the only sane person.
After death too.
No he was absolutely out of control
@@marvymarv959 he was the only one that had any idea what is going on
@@jlinkous05no, in the comics his character was the best but in movie, the point was missed and he was made to be cool and not what he was. He was to be a kind of “pointless perverted justice” and has been shown it’s done because he likes it not he feels obligated to do it. The problem is people love him for being a badass when he’s supposed to be a Batman like detective who doesn’t have morals
First...great choice on the exteneded cut... second it is great that you were legit speechless through that
This cut with the black freighter garbage is the worst cut of all. The directors cut is the best of them all by far, the theatrical cut is acceptable due to run time logistics, the ultimate cut with the pirate garbage was just he studio trying to recoup the major loss they took when they stupidly paid someone to animate all the pirate crap that everybody stopped reading in the comics after 2 issues. The studio loved the sales they got of the directors cut and commissioned the animation. Nobody bought it. So they bundled it with the theatrical cut and hosed the audience into buying the movie a third time. Luckily most people saw thru this cash grab and skipped the black freighter.
@@From-North-Jersey agreed 💯
@@From-North-Jersey Which cut was the one on HBO GO? (The one where no animated scenes and Dr. Manhattan didn't evaporate the reporters)
@@pandex2707 I think that is the theatrical cut you are talking about. However Dr Manhattan never evaporated the reporters , he teleported them out side the building to the parking lot when he lost his temper during the press conference.
In the comics they show a panel with the camera men outside. I think in the movie they figured using the same digital effect on the reporters as when he Teleports himself or Silk Specter was enough.
When he goop-ifies Rorschach it is a different effect and there was lots of ooze on the ground as evidence.
The Directors Cut is the best one, but HBOMax had both available I seem to remember. If you selected regular watchmen and then scrolled down to "More like this" the Directors Cut was the first or second option visible without left or right manipulation.
The birth of Dr. Manhattan is one of the greatest scenes in movies
It’s cool that you noticed that dr manhattans power could be kind of a curse so early. All that power made him apathetic to the rest of human race
For the comedic take on this, check out One Punch Man. 👊
@@LiGohan I was *JUST* about to say this!
I don't think it was the power so much as it was seeing and experiencing every moment of his life, past, present, and future, simultaneously. Imagine trying to live like that. After a short while it would undoubtedly feel like you were just a puppet, as was everyone else, acting out a predetermined script and that nothing anyone did actually mattered... everything ends... everyone eventually dies... free will is an illusion... and you know how everything is going to turn out so you're just going through the motions. Of course, you already saw yourself getting like this, and feeling this way, so, that, too, is just going through the motions... I myself already understand that free will is completely illusory and that all of us only make the only decisions that we are capable of making in the moment... but... without being able to see the future we can at least make ourselves *feel* like our choices matter and are our own to make. Dr. Manhattan cannot.
1. Ozimandias is to this day the only antagonist in any movie to have won before the "final battle" even began
2. In the comics, Ozimandias engineered a fake alien invasion instead of blaming Manhattan. This version works better in my opinion, since the world alredy feared him.
3. Note that Rorschach took off his mask before Manhattan killed him. He knew that while *he* would die, the symbol wouldn't.
4. I *love* how you caught on to the whole point of the ending. The story asks whether YOU would preserve world peace even if yoi knew it was built on a lie and millions of deaths or if you would destroy the world in an effort to preserve a semblance of morality.
Fun fact:
In the comics Ozimandias yells *"I did it!"* over his planning succeeding while an image of Alexander The Great cutting the Gordian Knot is right behind him.
A literal and figurative representation of an ambitious man solving a complicated problem with brute force.
I would destroy the lie yes, innocence were killed just to say the whole world. No innocent life should be sacrifice
Random fact: the actor who played the news guys who got ketchup on his smiley face shirt played a character called Neville in Need For Speed Carbon. He sadly passed away February 23, 2024 this year. RIP Chris Gauthier you are loved and missed!
R.I.P. Chris Gauthier 🙏
"I got hot grease for everybody!"
Great reaction, Leo😂😂 Keep up the good work!
The scene with the narration by Dr Manhattan where he speaks about his life and the becoming of Dr Manhattan is one my favorite scenes in all of cinema. I remember watching it as a teenager stoned af and was completely immersed in the movie. Still gives me goosebumps.
3:48 the scene with the girl putting a flower in the gun barrel is a reference to the Kent State incident of 1970.
4 unarmed students ended by the Ohio National Guard.
The Stand novel nodded to that incident too.
Clearly armed with flowers!
The Russian "soviet era freedom of information act" has proven 90% of the student protests were secretly being financed and plotted by the KGB. Same with the civil rights protests(they were blackmailing MLK by threatening to show his wife all hose pictures their agents took of him and all those naked white women in all those hotel rooms while he was on the road preaching). The soviets did everything they could do to turn off the American Melting Pot. McCarthy was right about 95% of the names on his report on unamerican activities. Moore was on the wrong side of history, that is why he became enraged when he found out the fans saw Rorschach as the hero of Watchmen when Alan thought Ozymandias was the good guy.
Oh shit you watched the Ultimate Edition! Kudos!
When this movie came out, I didn't know anything about it. I bought the graphic novel before watching it and was blown away. Watched it in the theater and loved it. It's so good, man. So so good.
now go read Frank Miller's "Dark Knight Returns" which came out in the same era and forever changed the comic book landscape as well. Epic
@@pewburrito 100% dude I've read that as well. When I was a child my parents didn't let me read comics because "Satan or whatever". I got on the bandwagon late but I'm making up for lost time. It's a beautiful artform that normies tend to slag on, but F them A$$holes. They don't get it. That's their problem, not mine. I love stuff like this.
love this movie one of the best transitions from graphic novel to film so many shots pulled right from the pages
great reaction and a fucking fantastic edit. It's not easy to edit this movie for youtube, especially the longer version, and you or your editor did an outstanding job. cutting the pauses between words can really fuck a movie up, but it worked here. I wasn't missing anything at any point. really one of the best reaction edits I've seen of this film. kudos.
Watching Dan see Rorschach die is always so heartbreaking. As much as they fought and argued about each other, in the end they were always brothers/best friends.
40:30 dude this is hilarious. I love your reaction. It’s what we were all thinking in the theater, but couldn’t say out loud. 😂😂
"My name is Ozymandias, King of kings, look at my Works, ye Mighty, and despair"
That whole poem is epic.
@@justindearmond1 Yes! I’ve seen the torso at the British Museum!
“Men get arrested.
DOGS GET PUT DOWN.”
46:15 not in front of the civilians 😂 coming from rorschach is perfect
It was meant to be more than ironic because Rorschach knew he wasn't the type of hero to cross the line, so he stopped him to maintain the public's perception of him
The opening scene of this movie is one of my favorite fight scenes ever.
“I feel fear, for the last time”
I love that line
If you ever revisit Watchmen watch the Director's Cut. The Director's Cut is Zack's preferred cut and doesn't have the animated Tales of the Black Freighter(which was a comic within a comic in the original graphic novel that the movies is based on). Zack never intended to have Tales of the Black Freighter as part of the film, Warner Home Media created this cut, dubbed "The Ultimate Cut".
I bet it's 6 hours long 😂😂😂😂
@@ladyhotep5189 The Director's Cut of Watchmen is just 3 hours long.
@@ladyhotep5189those jokes are really stupid you know
Thanks, I was wondering why I'd never seen the animė bits
Was just gonna say.
This is my favorite super hero movie of all time and I cant remeber ever seeing the animated parts.
Thanks for this one Leo. Watchmen is one of my favorites
Not even a min in and we getting hit with "ima start doing polls...that sounds crazy im gonna start doing poles"😅😂😂
I'm sure there are some happy Polish girls out there now
@@ctakitimu 😐🤣
Probably the most faithful (certainly mainstream) comic book presentation on screen ever.
I sometimes forget how much more complete the full version of the movie is. It's so much better than the theatrical.
I'm locked in here with Mr. Video watching Watchmen, and that's 😎😎
One of my favorite adaptions! There was actually a college English class that studied this at my school.
That’s cool! But why Watchmen, out of all English movies? 🤔
@@Fischstix95 the comic/graphic novel whateveyou want to call it. It has some interesting messages and stuff to break down. Movie did a pretty good job but they were studying the comic.
The story in the comic and it's parallel to the shop owner and kid reading was always great. I was glad the extended edition added more of it.
"He poured fried chicken grease on uh, the black dude".🤣🤣🤣🤣 I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I needed that.
“Go shoot y’all’s barbers first” 😂
"World peace is a lie" is the damn truth. That is a great assessment of what this comic and movie are about. Not saying we shouldn't strive for it, but the pragmatist and logic driven part of my brain know that human nature will always find a reason to disrupt it for gain. Thanks for watching this one.
@Mr.Video now you should add HBO’s WATCHER. To your list. It’s a continuation of this more 40+ years in the future. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
HBO's Watchmen tv show was trash. They should have stuck to these characters and done a prequel, like the comics did.
Jackie is absolutely crushing this.
I dont get why he doesnt get more big roles.
Last semi decent part I saw him in was in Alita where you barely recognize him
he's kind of a weird looking little dude... currently in his 60s... the sort who is pretty much condemned to only ever landing character roles and bit parts in movies no matter how talented he might be. The only times he ever really got to shine that I can even think of are in this movie and in the Nightmare on Elm Street reboot, both released within a year of each other. Sad, but, this is the way it is.
Hell to the yea! Dig it!! ...You're locked in here with me is one of the best lines ever!
This film was ahead of its time. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿
195,000 subscribers! Congratulations Leo! This is a favorite movie of mine. Love ya Leo!
Its the most human superhero movie ever.
Dr Manhattan probably one of the strongest Dc characters 🔥
No doubt. He's virtually a god now.
I think you might like the HBO show "Watchmen". Its only a single season and takes place decades after this in modern times.
One of the most underrated films ever and one great comic book adaptations.
Been watching you for years now. Yeah that don't sound weird. Glad to see you come up man!
You'll never hear the Hallelujah song the same ever again. ;)
This movie is fricking heavy, dark, and so damn spot on. The only thing that seems to be able to unite people is a greater threat. Without it, we break down and start fighting with each other.
This is a solid if not perfect adaptation of the "unadaptable" masterpiece, the 12-issue Watchmen series.
Nothing I could write here could scratch the surface of what's going on in this story. People have written dissertations on the topic.
I highly recommend reading what others have said on it. The internet is full of commentary on it, of varying levels of competence and accuracy.
If you get the chance, I definitely recommend reading the original comics.
Another great, thought-provoking series is the four-issue "Kingdom Come". It's nowhere near the level of Watchmen (but then what is), but it's still exceptional.
unadaptable my ass 😂 Zack Snyder completely shot down that notion that fans had back in the day. Doesn't matter how many bad movies he makes, he's solidified as a legend for this
Love your vibe!!!
Dr. Manhattan's logo on his forehead is a symbol of a Hydrogen atom, one proton with one electron orbiting it.
It's to show his respect for science, and to also possibly to create fear in America's enemies by reminding them they have nuclear power.
Most people think of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan. I think of this role.
Let's goooo!!!!! Just subscribed and now you watching my favorite superhero movie?!?!? Let's goooo!!!!
I love Manhattan's flash back scene. The Philip Glass music is amazing with his narration. He has such good lines throughout the movie.
You're gonna love this movie.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time I feel like it's so underrated and underappreciated, so I'm so happy you reacted to it!!!😊
The more I watched this the more I liked it. Great reaction man.
This is one of those movies with such a rich milieu that you catch different little things every time you watch it. I must have seen it two dozen times. The extended version/director's cut is excellent, too.
one of my favourite movies of all time, thanks for this one Leo
That Rorschach background is most totally cool thing I've seen a reactor have as background. It's so cool looking. And having it there makes this movie watch along feel like it's a Rorschach movie mostly. 🎬
By the way I prefer nukes it all.
Thank You Leo. Been hoping you would react to this movie. 😄👍
After September 11. 2001, our whole country was united behind a common cause. Look how divided our country is today. The peace that was achieved in this movie is only temporary anyway. It is better that people know the truth, in my opinion.
I'm waiting for this long long time especially in this channel man. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Mr. V, I’ve always enjoyed you in various reaction compilations but recently took a dive into your own videos and have had a blast. So I’m late to the gig but happy to be one of the fam.
“Im going to start doing polls again “ 😂😂😂😂
Hi Mr V, hope you good. Really enjoying your reactions. Missed your last one it was 2 am here so in the land of nod. Caught up with it though. Hugs for Bella and love to you and your family ❤
The manhattan monologue is GORGEOUS
Leo, I envy you the experience of getting to watch this movie for the first time. I think it's the best comic book/graphic novel movie ever made, or at least my favorite.
GREAT flick! Been waiting for you to get here lol
This movie did random songs well. The trailer for this movie blew me away back in 2007
4 suggestions:
*Coal Miner's Daughter
*This is 40
*Employee of the month
*Secret Garden
Damn boy
Working hard. I see you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This film is vastly underrated.
One of the best intro credits scenes ever.
Great reaction as usual amigo, also the teeth look great after the braces my dude!
Leo bringin' the Doomsday heat with this one!
Damn dawg your setup has come a long way man! I remember you and shaq just going for it, in your rooms. Here we are and you got a whole production going, slick.
Great choice !
Great reaction !
I love the opening montage so much; good example of what I was saying about there being a rich milieu and so much packed in to every scene, and if you pay close attention it sets up the world of Watchmen very well and this alternate history where costumed vigilantes actually exist (but mostly without any super powers).
3:14 you see the original Nite Owl (probably at least in part inspired by Batman) socking a criminal in the face. In the background you see Batman posters on the wall, showing both that this is the 1940s and also that Batman is a fictional character in this universe... to the left are Thomas and Martha Wayne exiting a theater... presumably not shot dead in this world because Nite Owl was there to punch out the robber that was going to kill them.
3:29 right after this shot there is another (not in the reaction) of the Enola Gay (the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima) flying over its target, but in this version of history it looks like the plane has been dubbed the Miss Jupiter (OG Silk Spectre) instead.
3:33 this is the V-J Day celebration in New York City at the end of World War II. Alfred Eisenstaedt took a very, very famous photograph of this celebration, of a young sailor returning home and kissing a nurse in the middle of the street. You can see Eisenstaedt on the left of the frame, taking his photo, and the sailor that was in the original photo walking by smiling broadly, but the nurse who was kissed by him is instead kissed by lesbian crime fighter Silhouette.
3:36 this scene of Miss Jupiter retiring after becoming pregnant is obviously an homage to the painting The Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci
(some scenes missing) ... Dollar Bill gunned down with his cape stuck in a revolving door.. I feel like there is a similar famous photo of some mobster gunned down in a similar situation this is a reference to, but if so, I couldn't find it. Mothman getting hauled off to the insane asylum always makes me think of Arthur from The Tick. We see Silhouette and the nurse from the famous photograph in bed together, murdered, presumably in a vicious hate crime. And we see young Rorschach in the hall outside of a room where his mother is whoring herself.
3:42 yep that's Dr. Manhattan, shaking hands with President Kennedy.
3:46 the assassination of JFK in Dallas. (stupid) Conspiracy theorists talk about hearing shots coming from in front of Kennedy on "the grassy knoll," and seeing a puff of smoke rising from there (as from a gunshot). In this take on alternate history, we see that it was actually the Comedian who shot JFK, and the puff of smoke was from his cigar, not his gun. He is dressed the same as the men known as "the three tramps" who were among those arrested by police that day in the confusion after the shooting.
3:49 this is during the Vietnam War protests... there is a famous similar photograph I see variously credited to Elliott Erwitt or Marc Riboud... but the aftermath of that photo being taken, which I think was during a peace march in Washington DC, there was no shooting. I guess in the Watchmen world things may have ended more violently under an emboldened Nixon? Because the guns fired I originally thought this was supposed to be a reference to the Kent State massacre which happened around the same time.
3:53 this is famous painter Andy Warhol, the guy who got famous painting soup cans... he also painted a famous portrait of Marilyn Monroe similar to the one here he did of the 2nd Nite Owl.
3:55 Dr. Manhattan on the moon.. I guess getting there was much easier for him than it was for NASA. Neil Armstrong here says "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" which is in reference to an urban myth that Armstrong's neighbor Mrs. Gorsky said she'd give her husband oral if the kid next door ever walked on the moon.
3:59 Superhero Ozymandias standing outside famous nightclub Studio 54, alongside Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and the Village People...
4:05 and here we see a shot showing how masked vigilantes were becoming less popular, leading to the eventual law that banned them..
So much world building and back story in one short sequence... and I'm sure I missed several things...
love the new format
They weren’t lying Leo. He gave gave them cancer.
No, Ozymandias did.
Zack Snyder is one of my favorite directors. 300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch, Man of Steel, Batman V Superman, Snyder Cut of Justice League, Rebel Moon 1 & 2 - they're all great!
The best comic/graphic novel film ever.
Note owl is the original blue beetle, and Rorschach is the question in the dc counter parts
Definitely my favorite and deepest superhero movie out there. Rorschach is my favorite character, along with Dr Manhattan.
I liked how Synder took Rorschach's arrest and incorporated into the Knightmare scene in BVS.
“I have walked across the surface of the sun. I have witnessed events so tiny and so fast, they could hardly be said to have occurred at all. “
Always gives me chills.
I never seen this version that adds the animation. I'm gonna have to go find this extended version
In the comics Watchmen is in a separate universe from the DC Universe but Dr Manhattan is so powerful he's able to change things. When The Flash goes back in time to save his mother & creates Flashpoint, Dr Manhattan uses this opportunity to reset the universe creating the New 52 timeline a much more pessimistic & grounded version of the universe. Taking 10 years away that was filled with hope with the first issue of the New 52 taking place 5 years into it.
Amazing movie, great reaction and conclusion 👍🏻
Back to my 1st comment about Alan Moore he had something to say we finally hearing him when we will pay attention to his message
Such a great film. Dope reaction
The great irony about Watchmen is that Alan Moore genuinely perceived Ozymandias as the tragic hero of the story. He was the unironic "the west has fallen, billions must die" guy. And then Rorshach, who was meant to be the brave fool that gets in the way of progress, became a beacon of hope who mever surrenders and is fearless in the face of certain death.
Jackie Earle Haley is a criminally underrated actor
AMEN!!!!!
Rorschach was too damaged to live in a peaceful world which was anathema to everything he existed for (vengeance, retribution). So he chose his way out.
Still one of the best “superhero” movies ever made.
It is great to see you react to this movie. Such a great one and very thought provoking. I really liked that it is told as a mystery. How they weaved every character's origin story without missing a beat of solving the mystery, incredible! Rorschach's unrelenting investigation to exact justice ruins the smartest man on the planet's plan to murder millions to achieve world peace is great storytelling, right down to Manhattan having to kill him because he sees things in only black or right (wrong and right) was necessary to keep the peace the devastation caused. Also the sound track and opening credits scenes were awesome.
I've watched this several times, then the voiced original comic on youtube for comparison.
Both very good. So much philosophy in this, so many characters to relate to. Larger than life, that's what this is.
17:04 That’s his value in that instant. His character build up was hard to watch on purpose and you caught it. That’s a solid portrayal of “necessary evil”. It’s great cinema.
54:27 The Black Freighter is an analogy for Veidt's character progression. He wanted to save the world from nuclear destruction, and with that noble goal guiding him, he betrayed all his friends and murdered millions of people around the world. He insists that it was "necessary" but one can never know for sure if there really was no other way to accomplish that, if those deaths were necessary, or how many more people may need to die in the future to try to protect the secret and preserve "peace under fear."
I don't prefer peace. I prefer Truth.
Sin City and Watchmen are still the best comic to movie adaptations. Even with Watchmen's change to the ending, which tbh I prefer.
I love Sin City.
Good stuff
