Watchmæn
Went to the midnight show of Watchmen. Verdict? Not perfect, but enjoyable.
For the most part it followed the book very well. Ending was changed up a bit but it overall seemed to make more sense this way for being a movie, especially for the “non-fans”. Completely painting Ozymandias as a clear-cut villain was a bad thing, though.
Rorschach’s acting was perfect. Every scene with him always seemed very strong. He was exactly how I envisioned him while reading the book, all the way down to the voice. The other actor’s performances seemed to be… alright.
I was kinda suprised that they didn’t cover up Dr. Manhattan’s… nakedness. Typical Hollywood would just be like “less dong, moar boobz!” Thats another thing. They didn’t seem to add any more tits, either. Color me astounded. They did seem to draw the sex scene out for quite a while though…
The cuts from the story worked very well. None of it seemed to take away from the story. A lot of the Minutemen stuff was covered in the opening credits (which were indeed rather cool).
I don’t know what else to say, so thats all for now.
