I've got a three-way tie and I've never been able to promote any one:
The NeverEnding Story
Wall•E
Watchmen
I consider Watchmen one of the most perfect movies ever made.
People often hate on the watchmen, i love it. The worst part about it that it has a graphic novel that is way better.
I read the comics I don’t really see them as better. It’s a different experience.
Which cut?
Ultimate or Director’s. I don’t mind the extra Black Ship comics scenes but I also recognize they really don’t add much of value. But I enjoy them.
I pulled up the ultimate cut a while back because I wanted to watch the movie, but I didn't look at the timestamp before I started. I really like it, as a more thought-provoking, and loyal adaptation of the comic, but it seemed like it was running a bit long until I realized it was getting light outside again.
Heh. Well, yeah you have to be in the mood to watch a very long film but I think it’s worth the experience. It’s not a movie you just sort of watch while folding laundry; it’s immersive and it is legendary and deserves your undivided attention.
