Watchmen: Very Brief Reactions

[andraste]

bride_of_lister and I just got back from a midnight screening of Watchmen. Very brief reactions below cut.



In short: wow! THEY ACTUALLY MADE A GREAT FILM OUT OF WATCHMEN. I was terribly worried they wouldn't be able to add anything, but they really did. More about that when it's not getting on for five o'clock in the morning. I was very pleased over all.

Also, a word of warning: this is a very violent film. No, more violent than that. No, it is VERY VERY VIOLENT. And gory. And violent. I thought it was appropriate given the subject matter and tone, but it might be a good idea to go in braced.

I haven't been as excited about a movie for quite a long time - although I don't have a particularly high violence threshold, so it sounds like I'll be closing my eyes a lot.

Yeah, I'm not great with gore, but for Watchmen I managed to put up with it. You can always cover you hands with your eyes like the person next to me occasionally did *g*.
