I actually REALLY want to see this for a second time now.
I'm more excited for the Blu Ray release though for the directors cut

I would say no but it will be much more enjoyable if you do.

I didn't like the movie.
You nailed it. I was explaining to my friend the significance of the newsstand, from the kid getting new issues of ToBF to the lesbian couplecoming to blows next to it right before armageddon. It would have made a world of difference had they explained why ToBF is a comic about pirates and whyalmost all the comics kids read were comics about pirates...

Also instead of trying to protect against all the nukes russia had why didn't he just vaporize all of russia? that's what i would have done. I mean you could argue that he just didn't care enough about humans to solve the problem, but if you think about it vaporizing russia would have been a prime example of not caring about humanity. Then again there would have been no movie had that happened so oh well.

This part was explained in the book and the movie, when the Comedian shot the woman he impregnated. He said that Manhattan could have stopped it but he didn't and that Manhattan doesn't really give a damn about the people of the world. He was just a symbol of power by the U.S. signified by the words, "Superman exists and he is American."
And that's another thing people are either overlooking or simply misunderstanding altogether: The significance of Dr. Manhattan existence. He's been the subject of many critics' ire, who have used derogatory terms like "psycho-babble" to describe Manhattan's rhetoric. Whilesome of it may have sounded rather quasi-intellectual, much of it was food for thought.
LOL, I can't even front. There were a couple of moments that reminded me of the Architect's harangue in Matrix Reloaded.Originally Posted by RFX45
^^^ You must admit though, Manhattan's monologue on Mars (in the book) would give you a headache in the big screen.
