I watched Watchmen on Sunday and I thought it was satisfactory fan boy creamer delight. It stuck very close to the story line and many of the character casting was good. Especially for the Comedian and Dan. Rorshach was great too.

The demise of the Comedian was one of the saddest and greatest. Contrasting the brutal beating to such a mellow lovely song as Unforgettable was genious. The opening was my favorite part of the movie. All I can think of right now is that when it comes out on DVD I will plan the beginning over and over loud. The music they paired it to was excellent. Going from Nat King Cole to Bob Dylan to Hendrix! Wow. Basically because it stuck so true to the story of the book, the people who did not read it found it to be a bad movie and boring. They walked in expecting another Dark Knight full of fighting and action shots of stuff blowing up, boy were they disappointed. It’s not another Hollywood sellout. Especially since I doubt Alan Moore will allow it. The colors were great, but then again it might have been the IMAX experience. haha

Here’s a parody of Watchmen in cartoon style

and if you haven’t checked out the movie website yet you definitely should. It’s full of gorgeous color, gorgeous imagery and  futura type goodness.
