Watchmen I was worried that this would not live up to the hype.
gin200168 and I watched the Motion Comic - to prep for the movie and I got bored on chap 3/12 and left. She fell asleep in chap 9. It had really mixed reviews and I was worried about the rape, violence and blood. Yes, I had to cover my eyes 3 or 4 times at the violence and blood. The rape, was not really a rape, a suggestion of rape (but pretty violent). It was funny and horrifying. It was detailed and layered. The music selections just seemed wrong. I loved all the songs, but cept for one they seemed really out of place and clunky. The beginning was just amazing, the title credits were mesmerizing. The ending satisfying, but not really all that happy. Oh and we have blue penis', all the time. More blue penis' then breasts in the movie, that has to say something. (big grin). Everyone was terrific in their roles. I really liked Billy Crudup as Doctor Manhattan, he had a detached otherworldly presence that really worked so well. He was serene and haunted. Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach was just terrific, the anger and pain so evident. You wanted to feel bad for him, but you also wanted to bitch slap him into tomorrow. I am betting there is a director's cut of this and I would happily sit through another 20-40 mins of this universe. Not a place I would ever want to live in, but a place that serves as a haunting warning to us all.
I have to add that when you watch the movie, there is sooo much to see, even things in the background serve to advance the story, it is awesome.
Rating: 10. MUST OWN DVD
Scruff meter - Like WHOA.. there is scruff dolled out all around. Only Dr Manhattan and Ozymandias remained scruff free.
oh and there was a moment of total suit porn.. I think I visibly quaking for a few moments. It was a nice suit and Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias moved so well in it. *shivers* I also think that
