The bargain-basement voice acting killed this Watchmen adaptation

2009 theatrical cut is still the best version

Actually the original 12 issue miniseries is the best version.

Any reason they couldn't take a page from Scott Pilgrim with the casting?

>>144978668
2009 directors cut (3 hr version, not 3.5 hr) is the best version actually

I agree. Rorschach should have been played by Michael Cera.

I started doing more comparisons, the worst is the Rorscharch/Dan exchange in the kitchen and lab, but I just said "fuck it, one's enough"

Maybe I'm just a philistine, but the animation voice acting doesn't seem that bad.
Not as good the movie, no, but still passable, anons are making it sound like it's early video game voice acting tier.

You're not wrong, but it's a real problem for serious, dramatic works when all the characters sound like videogame NPCs.

Here's the bean scene comparison.

"R-rorschach?"
"N-n-no... no... of course I don't mind."
"Out of prison! So far!"

Probably the worst delivery from the main characters in the movie. For incidental characters the cops at the beginning are the absolute worst.

I haven't read the original, seen the live action movie, or watched this version, but I know it has Kari Wahlgren in it, and I'm a fan of her. That being said, I make no promises of actually watching it, because I don't particularly care for Watchmen.

The timing certainly doesn't help. Add a beat between the lines so it doesn't seem so rushed. Maybe it's getting compared to bad video game voice acting because it feels like everyone recorded their lines separately.

Thanks for sharing, retard. Does that mean you consoomed some of the more recent fanfic like doomsday clock or the TV show and used that to form your opinion?
