[livejournal.com profile] 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.

Well, not that I was expecting it to not be violent, but I am slightly disappointed that it is very, very violent, seeing as I just don't handle it well and probably won't see it now :(

I'm glad it's really good and you enjoyed it, though :D AMAZING, A GOOD FILM BASED ON SOMETHING ALAN MOORE WROTE :OOOOOOOOOO NEXT, APOCALYPSE!

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.

Yay! I'm looking forward to seeing it, though I don't have the highest tolerance for gore and violence. Hopefully it won't be too hand-held, either, so [livejournal.com profile] lilacsigil can watch it from her seat, not sideways on the floor.

It's Watchmen; I'd have been dissapointed if it hadn't been gory as fuck.

What rating is it? Because a bunch of my friends were worried that it was going to be 15-ified and not violent/sick in oh so many other way enough.
