Watchmen was Amazing

Watchmen was Amazing

Visually gorgeous, with true to the novel dialogue.

Saw the premiere last night and I have to say, as a 40-something year old woman and not their target audience, I thought it was amazing.

Visually, it was gorgeous with gorgeous over-the-top scenery and beautiful, but gritty, characters.

The dialogue and scenes were very true to the novel, maybe cheesy to some but pleasing to a fan of the book.

My only negative would be the overdone sex scene between Night Owl and Silk Spectre, but maybe that was done for the laughs it got. Plus, I was a bit freaked about how incredibly violent it was, but, again, I'm not the target audience.

Jackie Earl Haley was incredible as Rorschach and one of my favorite parts of the movie.

The soundtrack was freaking amazing, including Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Jimi Hendrix.

I never thought I would be recommending it, but I truly did find it to be an excellent take on a great graphic novel.
