So, The Watchmen was...awesome. I've been reading the book recently, and it's amazing how accurately they translated it to screen. I highly recommend seeing it, even if you haven't read the comic or don't like comic movies. It's pretty much just a well done movie all around ( Read more... )

Wait, WHAT? The review were bad??? I just dont get that...it was probably the best and most well done comic book adaptation I've seen so far.

I think some nerd-boy fans are just all pissy that they had to cut anything out. Well, they should just suck it up! It was almost 3 hours long, what more do they want?! They did have to cut things but in general while I do think the stuff they cut did add o the story, the story wasn't worse off for it not being there. They did change a couple little things which I thought didn't make too much of a difference, and one big thing which I guess makes a huge difference to people, but I actually liked it better in the movie. I thought it flowed better, and made more sense in terms of a cinematic visual standpoint.

And in all honesty I think some of the changes actually just added to the emotionality of the characters. There was emotional depth to some of them that I never even got from the book, which I think is quite awesome!

Let me know what you think of it...
