Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
I'll be picking up this and Black Freighter on blu-ray for sure... I'm pretty much going to be a Watchmen whore the next few weeks - got all the movie tie in books on order and will be sure to pick up a few action figures too.

Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
So this is the graphic novel, page for page? That sounds stupid as all hell.

Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
It is, but I was pretty surprised how well the animation worked. The voice acting was the iffy part, it's one actor, which is okay for the male parts, not so great for the female ones.

Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
I'll be getting this on DVD and Blu-ray. Not sure if I'm gonna want to watch the Prison Break Scene though...will have to really mull that one over.
I've already pre-ordered all the action figures. A lot of my money is going to be going into this movie, lol. |
Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
I am stunned that the motion comics are not just extras on the DVD.

Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
Anytime they give Movie Money with a DVD I'd probably get anyway, I'm down. I figure the DVD will be like 16-18 bucks and the Blu-ray around 25 bucks. Add in $7.50 per thing, and that saves a friend and me some money when it comes time to see the movie.

Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
This whole thing is kind of cool, and I'm impressed WB spent the effort to animate the whole thing, but I can't imagine actually watching the whole thing more than once.

I may pick this up, if only for the $7.50 to see Watchmen. |
Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
I think the reason this won't be an extra is because its way to long, its over 4 hours, and would take up 2 bonus discs. I could see it being in the Watchmen Director's Cut DVD, but that would be a 4-5 disc set (2 for the movie, 2 for Motion Comics)

Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
Eh, my interest in the film dropped the more I heard details about it, but I did like the motion comic. This should be $15 or so on release week and since I planned on buying it on ITunes (for $20) anyway, at least now I can see the film and not feel too horrible if it turns out to be shit.

Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
It won't be an extra because this is made by Warner and the movie is done by Fox.
|
Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
The movie was not "done" by Fox and Warner is the sole U.S. distributor -- the settlement gave Fox a cash payment and gross points on the movie and all spinoffs/sequels (including the motion comic and the Black Freighter DVDs), but WB kept all distribution rights.

Yup, I saw some of this the other day, I wanted to like it, the visuals looked fine, it had background and effects noises, but the single narrator voice, especially when doing female parts, threw me off. I couldn't get into it. Guess I'll just pull out the ol' Absolute Watchmen and read it again next month to get warmed up.

Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
So is this like the Transformers thing Wal-Mart had as an exclusive?

It won't be an extra, since it's 4 HOURS LONG. WB is going to maximize profits by selling it separately to all the Watchmen fanboys, who are going to suck up as much Watchmen merch as they can, as before the movie, there really hasn't been a flood of tie-in products. There was the RPG game when the issues originally came out...maybe a shirt or two. |
Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
Haven't seen this but I caught a sample here
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HINEH0 EDIT: I hear it's on YouTube as well but I didn't see any at first glance that hadn't been doctored |

Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
It would be appreciated if a mod could edit the thread title to include the Black Freighter and its date, so we can avoid an unnecessary second thread..

Re: Watchmen Motion Comic ---> 3/3/09
WB is surely squeezing all the juice they can from Watchmen.
