Despite a massive change from the graphic novel i thoroughly enjoyed this film as did the two friends i watched this with, and personaly cant wait till i get the dvd to watch the tales of the blackfrieghter interspersed into it.
Back to the film anyway, i think this is as close to perfect as you could an adaptation and rorschach my fave guy from the novel was perfect, even keeping in all his one liners it was a very enjoyable viewing experience, even night owls problem, which could be put down to premature by people who've not read watchmen. Those who have read will know what i mean, everyone else played their well, and yes silk spectre II had an amazing butt lol. Jeffery dean was brilliant as the comedian aswell.
It's long yes and i suspect most people will go in to watch it expecting it to be x-menesque in action, you wont be dissapointed by the action in this for sure but its a very story driven film, and its a long un 3hrs, the full dvd version will be bordering on 4hrs if i'm correct, the only thing i had to gripe about well 2 things is they all seemed to be quite stronger than normal humans, in the novel their not they are physically peaked but not to the level they are in this film, and them including ozymandias's pet cat which they could have left out really i'm sure it just served to confuse people who dont know how he got it.
some awesome trailers on this film aswell such as wolverine, star trek and transformers 2 these are the next films i'm looking forward to seeing
laters folks!
