I’m not gonna bore you with some long winded review of the movie. Go see it yourself since you’ll know if you’re the type of person who wants to see it.
Suffice it to say, it tells the story well…I can’t say it was an exciting or otherwise orgasmic experience cause I’m not a fanboy. It’s always great to see some justified asskicking (thank you, Mr. Rorschach) but otherwise, it was too much shit to fit into a single movie. A mini-series might have been more appropriate, doucebags.
One complaint, though, is the fucking music. It’s like the guy who green-lit the music (likely the director but I’m sure someone else convinced him…well, maybe they did) is an idiot. While there were some great pieces being played they made no fucking sense. Upbeat music during relatively calm scenes was a common thread and it was stupid. I get it…you want us to tie the 70’s or 80’s song with the time period…great, thanks, we’re not stupid. We can figure it out.
Not sure if you should see it? Here’s a simple way to figure it out:
Do you like The Watchmen already? Are you into comics? Do you like comic-based movies? Then SOLD, go drop your lunch money on that bitch and we’ll see you on the other side.
Everyone else: consider the DVD a great option. At least you can pause and take a break to play a video game or something.
