Matthew Goode Expresses Interest In Big Screen WATCHMEN Prequel

out of all the people willing to return, it just has to be this asshole doesn't it? Worst part of the movie by far, which is a shame because I really enjoyed the rest of the cast. Who am I kidding though, probably still going to watch it if it happens.

he was'nt a good ozy but goode is a very good actor just miscast

What was wrong with his Ozy? The problem with Ozy was, like he said, he wasn't given enough backstory. I thought he played a very convincing "smartest man in the world". He was snarky and sly and he played the roll pretty much as I would have pictured the character to be while reading the book.

I thought he was pretty good, but the decision to give him a slight German twang at the end when he is revealed as the villain was beyond stoopid.

YAAWWNNN!!!! NEXT

I loved watchmen, there were some pretty CREAPY scenes, (hint hint) but I really liked the overall movie, and I'd love to see a sequal to it!

I love Watchmen, now I wouldnt say he was the worst cast or miscast, but I would say that he was the weakest.

Personally I feel that Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earle Haley were the best cast

i loved this movie,
In saying that,it turned into a silly silly parody of super hero movies right at the end of the movie at ozymandias fortress o solitude,when they started fighting each other...

but the opening scenes with the comedian getting his ass kicked are some of the best movie scenes ever

Films seem to have a really hard time casting good villains. Maybe going forward only the dozen or so really great villain actors should play villains, and if they don't physically fit the role, just CGI in the body. They've basically been doing that when they de-age people, and its in the fine tradition of Darth Vader.

So, from now on, villains will only be played by Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Walken, Christopher Lee, Ralph Fiennes, Javier Bardem, Gary Oldman, Jack Nicholson, Alan Rickman, etc.

Hmm...the British might be over represented on the final list.

There's no need for a Watchmen prequel. Leave the franchise the way it is

Goode was fine as Ozymandias, but i think his portrayal would have been better if the character was a little less distant and mysterious. It's more the director's fault than anything though.

If any actor truly weakened Watchmen, it's Malin Ackerman, Which is a shame considering the complexity of the Silk Spectre.

I wasn't satisfied. No squid=no Watchmen movie.

^^ or spiderman...

He was the most miscast out of the whole cast! Well, maybe after Akerman. The whole movie pretty much sucked. Goode should have at least bulked up a bit and played him less sinister. I KNEW the ending to the book already prior to reading it thanks to a friend spoiling it but upon reading it I was convinced somebody else was doing the killings thanks to Moore's awesome writing. Ozymandias never came off as "dark and sinister", that's why it was so shocking it was him in the end - it's [frick]ed up! The movie totally missed that and Snyder, then Goode I think, are to blame.

Like look at the poison capsule scene it's so obvious he put it in. Nothing subtle about it.

If they ever remake Watchmen, they need to do it as a 12 part series on HBO or something instead of cramming all that shit into a bigass 3 1/2 hour movie.


Oh, and [frick] the new Watchmen books. Unless your name is Alan Moore you shouldn't be writing them.

@ironman53 Carla was born in 1971. Amy Adams 1974. I think their both too old to play Lois. Carla to me has alot more sex appeal & looks alot more like Lois Lane. So if they would've casted her I would've cared less about her age haha.

Who knows? MAYBE Amy's acting will live up to all the academy award winning hype make us believe she IS Lois Lane.

@DZ123

I agree, no Squid, no Watchmen, simply as that.

No squid, no watchmen? That's so dumb. Hahah

The story is so much more and the squid wouldn't have translated good on film. Simple as that.

the problem for me about ozy was that he was too small! the character in the novel is this huge hulking man, and a super genius. he was just too small to play this monstrous role.

I also thought Billy Crudup was great as Doc Manhattan. Ozy was the weak link in the movie for me too, probably the most miscast other than Ackerman. Obviously nowhere near as a good as the book, but not bad for the "unfilmable comic" Moore made it out to be.

*Rob Liefeld version. Damn iPhone.

@Ripynt

Why would'nt a giant Squid translate well on screen, Squid worked well in pirates of the carribean, do you think audiences are so simply and stupid that they are unable to grasp the concept of an alien squid invading the planet, its called science fiction.

What is stupid is how the movie version of Ozymandias plan has him dropping nukes on about half a dozen or so cities essential killing hundred of millions of people in what was supposed to be his solution to all out nuclear war, go figure.

If more development went into Ozy then a backstory surrounding Squid could have been easily developed throughout the movie, no differently to how the nuclear attack story was, imo this would have made a much more climatic, exciting and unique finale and made alot of fans of the book very happy, and I bet my life on it that Synder wanted to do the Squid but the studio would'nt allow him too.

But I guess some people just love the old nuclear attack story line, because that hasn't at all been done to death in movies, yay a movie with people dropping nukes, how original, I hope they have nukes in the prequel because that would be awesome.

I have to say, I liked his work as Ozymandias. It is indeed very different from the comics, but I think it's an interesting way to portray the character. Some people just hate his "villainous" manners, the german accent and the implicit homosexuality, but I think all of these choices makes sense in the movie (and I see no sense in complaints about the accent, because Ozy always was a european character, probably german, because "Veidt" is a german name, as far as I know).

About the giant squid, the problem is that they would have to spend too much time in creating a plausible background for this ending and it would be a too much intense "deus ex machina" for the audiences. I mean, we can accept that in comics, but, in a movie, it tends to amplify the awkward element and there's a risk of only sound silly. Besides, even if the ending of the movie wasn't so good as in the comics, at least it made perfect sense with the story and mantained the central moral dillema of the characters.

About Before Watchmen... alright, or he's a actor trying to attach himself to a possible franchise, or he's a man with too much faith on DC, hoping that those folks there will not destroy Alan Moore's work and will present a good vision for Ozymandias.
