Well, I hadn't planned on doing a review for Watchmen. I liked it okay as a movie experience, but it's not something I want to sit through again. Geo read the book before we went to see the movie, and he was very eager to see how they were going to adapt it to the screen. (For the record, he called it probably the best movie adaptation of a comic he'd ever seen.)
We went to a Friday matinee. I was one of only 3 females in the audience that I counted. Geo said they were probably all there against their wills. I said, "Not me. Remember? I'm the one who suggested we see this when I found out JDM was going to be in it."
I've not followed the reviews or anything, but just so you know, the movie is loooonnnnngggg. And it is not--repeat NOT--a kid's movie. Nor is it a "superhero" movie. It is dark. Brutal. Very.
( Cut to save your f-list space. Also? possible spoilers. )
So, yeah. There ya go.
