I knew about the graphic novel going in, hell I'd been on my friends back about giving me his copy to read on the train I take to work everyday for the past couple of months. But when I saw it last Thursday I was surprised at how violent and graphically the whole novel was portrayed on screen.
The things I didn't like about Watchmen. The violence, I understand that the novel is violent but violence on paper and violence on screen are totally different. That ate at me the whole film, did it really need to get like that? Although Rosarch in prison was hillarious, so badass it was awesome.
Blue wang galore annoyed me too, seemed like everytime we saw Manhattan he had to have his wang out. I understand why he did, clothing doesnt mean much to a guy who can see in the fourth dimension. Time flows differently and all.
I did enjoy the film, I just didn't think it was worth the 2.5 hours it cost me. Well thats only because I had work the next day and couldn't sleep till 1.
