As Robert Downey Jr said in Weird Science, "I'M SHITTING MY PAAAAAAAAAAANTS!"

As for complaints of voices and slow motion and such, trailers always call attention to details that become inconsequential in the course of the whole movie.

When I saw Archie rise up out of the river, the needle on my nerdgasm meter broke the glass.

i think he should have a voice that's more weird and wimpy.
one thing i liked about the comic is how rorschach is some kind of funny-looking picked-on son of a prostitute, not some personality-less he-man like the punisher.
i do realize that if he had a weird and wimpy voice people wouldn't like it.

But in the comic, it's pointed out that he talks in a creepy, threatening monotone, not a wimpy squeak. Not saying that they nailed either option in this trailer, but he doesn't talk like a pipsqueak.

Yeah, I only ever read the sheepish pip-squeak voice as part of his back story. Always kinda read it as a dull rasp. Rorschach was a kinda personality-less he-man, in so many ways, especially in the beginning of the book. At least as I read it.

i'm not saying his voice would be high pitched, i'm just saying that it would be a little less, i don't know, typical action hero. it definitely would be low and monotone -- he even skips conjunctions and such -- but i feel like it would have some kind of quirk or mumble to it.

for what it's worth, on youtube there's a clip of alan moore reading a passage from rorshach's journal, in his (british-accented) version of what rorschach would sound like:

I'm all for it. Salut, dude who directed 300, a movie that people seem to hate on this board for silly reasons!

In the meantime, Frank Miller directed a proper trip-fest version of Walt Eisner's "The Spirit." NICE.

i guess disliking a movie because of it's unnecessary use of slow motion action sequences at EVERY possible opportunity could be considered silly, if you're the type of person who doesn't give a shit about fancy uber-modern flourishes ruining otherwise interesting films.

the vacillating slo-mo / sped-up action scene is to modern movies what the drum machine was to new wave music in the '80s.

Unless it's one of those trailers that show you the only good scenes in a movie.
