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.

*nods firmly* Yes, exactly; Husband was making this point on the drive home from the theatre.
