Just got back from the midnight release showing of "The Watchmen" with Dan Peso. We both agreed that the movie was very good. I made a comment of the movie being similar to "retired batman meets soft porn". There were a few parts that were pretty soft porn-e. But very well made movie. I'll definitely have to go pick up the graphic novel now. I've been hesitating it for a while but after watching that, I might as well go out and buy the book.
The Watchmen was pretty awesome. There were a few things that slipped by me but nothing major. I came out of it happy that I spent 3 hours in the movie. Started off a little slow but when it picked up, it picked UP. Ended up being a bit darker overall than I had expected. Definitely a must see if you were drawn to it in any way, shape or form from the trailers.
I'll have to try and get out to see it... Tho I know Kate isn't too interested, so that might be tough.
ReplyDeletegotta get someone else to see it then...
ReplyDeleteI guess it only got one star... but I liked it
yea i dont really get the whole one star thing, i read that in the paper tonight, kinda bothered me. i thought it was pretty awesome. and i read the comic. the comic was REALLY awesome, and the movie was pretty awesome. I was a bit disappointed in a few things they left out and changed, but that's what happens when you go from a graphic novel/comic book series to a feature film. oh wells.
ReplyDeletebut yea, good shit.
I gotta get on that graphic novel.
