I know I haven't added an article in a while, honestly because I was too excited for the Watchmen. Having read the book and loving it, I was anxious about this movie. I heard bad things and good things, from the squid not being in there and how horrible the actor was for Veidt. When the day finally came I popped my head of my pillow and suddenly it felt like christmas morning. "The Watchmen comes out today...oh my god." I was in a great mood all day and when I arrived to the theater I was expecting tons of people. My boyfriend and I were two of 15 people. huh.... Well we got our seats and by the time the movie started the theater was filled and I was ready, ready for the Watchmen.
The film started and I leaned over to my boyfriend (Zach) and told him, "Zach the beginning is amazing, but what's with this soundtrack?" I was confused, Unforgettable when the Comedian was getting beat up, and Hallieugh when Laurie and Dan were having sex. Wow. Crazy, but I liked it. It was different. I thought the art direction of the film was amazing and if not nominated for an oscar for that, i will be upset. I started to laugh at some parts because it was so close to the book. I laughed at the sex, probably it was as close to a porno that a R film can get. Still pretty sexy though...i liked it ;)
The blood ohhhh the blood. This film was so bloody bloody. ha The jail scene had to be my favorite. I like Rorschach's one liners. It made the film. I thought the actor who played him was excellent. Ha loved it. I did think it was a little crazy at the Alley scene when Dan Laurie get jumped. I thought they were a little to powerful... I mean breaking arms in half? Dang. Little much, but still cool. Thank GOD they put Doc's penis was in the film, I was happy..haha. Beautiful!
All in all the film was great. People say it was too long, but I disagree. They put EVERYTHING in the movie and if they would have left something out to make the film shorter, more people would be complaining and wishing that certain scene was in it. I will surely be seeing it again.
