Watchmen

[Peige]

I went to see this last night.

I agree, its more of a story than the comic book stuff I've seen recently, enjoyed it enough and didn't have any trouble following the plot.

Wouldn't rate it anywhere near as good as Dark Knight though.

Only criticism is that it could have easily removed a few scenes without damaging the movie, but I still loved it.

I forgot to say about this! Genius soundtrack

I really don't get the choice of Leonard Cohen for the porn scene. I'm not sure quite what he was trying to achieve there.

I really thought that was going to be a really awful scene from peoples descriptions and reviews... but it wasn't that bad at all! It was all a bit tongue in cheek! Made me lol anyway

For years I've seen the graphic novel knocking about but never read it. I have to say I loved the film and will have to watch it again! Perhaps after I've read the comics/graphic novel to appreciate anything I may have missed.

Zack Snyder loves to put in some class lady nudity which makes me happy.

I just found it very tongue in cheek.

It's a bit of a rock/hard place situation for me with this movie.
From what I've read, it's framed and edited in a similar style to the original comics. This keeps the cinema version true to form, but also puts viewers such as myself who never read the comics at a disadvantage.
I think I'd have enjoyed it a lot more if I'd been familiar with the comics, but as it stands I think there was too much attention put into the style over the substance.
