Stupid people are so so so stupid.

Nixon's nose...I cringed every time he was one screen.

AND THEN THE FLAME BUTTON? SERIOUSLY?! Honestly, the flame button was the only thing that made me forgive that scene, because in the comic, you see very very little of the actual sex, but there is the flame button. I have no idea why the graphic, prolonged sex was necessary, but it threw me straight out of the movie. The point is Dan no longer feels impotent, not "Dan and Specter had hot hot lovin' for several hours ( ... )

I understood that none of them were supposed to have superstrength/speed, but they appeared to in the film. What with the punching through walls and the bones cracking into wrong shapes right and left...

And the flame button would have been forgivable if it had been the only symbolic thing. Like if you saw them start going at it, had a moment of cityscape to show that times passes, and then show the flame from a distance. Then it would have been smile-worthy. But after all that unnecessary rutting? Nah.

Glad to hear a fellow review!

I. Love. Rorschach.

So much.

I want there to be a movie where Rorschach just like.. tools around the city.. and like.. orders pizza.

Eh... it wasn't a huge lack or anything. It just kinda bugged me in retrospect that they seemed to have no lives before they resumed being vigilantes. I mean, what did Nite Owl DO all day long? Not hugely bugged, just a bit puzzled. I can forgive it, though. The movie was long enough.

(Although if they'd cut out the epic sex, they could have had time for another scene or two...)
