J & I saw Watchmen this afternoon. A few things I enjoyed about it were the sound design, the comic book aesthetic and Jackie Earle Haley's performance but to be honest, I found the movie really boring, too long and by the time it was done, I felt totally annoyed. Every time Doctor Manhattan spoke, I found myself clenching my fists and gritting my teeth. His flaky demeanor and cartoony representation were getting the best of me. I just couldn't connect with him and his CGI'd screen presence (blue balls and all). We've decided to rename the film 'Crotchmen'.
Aww another spoiler! Saw J's comments on fb. Well we'll give you our critique Sat. Might do IMAX.
ReplyDeleteEveryone I know who has seen this movie hates it. It cooled my want to see it and I am now waiting for it to be on DVD.
