Who Watched the Watchmen?
Yes, me and 3 of my friends did!
I have to say, having read the Alan Moore masterpiece, they did a very good job taking it from there to screen!
Rorschach was played by Jackie Earle Haley, and wow, did he do a fantastic job! His voice did sound a little like Batman, but it wasn’t as annoying as Batman (if that makes sense). And they really played down his Conservatism. I sure they had a good reason for it, though.
My most favorite parts of the film were the opening and the final-final scene (ReaganLOL). The opening was just perfect, with how they just went through the company’s logos to get right to the film, the whole Comedian death-scene, and the “Times Are A-Changing” montage, which my friends said really helped them understand what was going on.
What didn’t I like, though? First of all, some of the music. WHY “Hallelujah”? AND WHY THAT VERSION? Actually, this combines with what else I didn’t like about it: Why a 3 minute (pretty much was) sex scene? What was that all about?!
Anyway, I think while this was a very fantastic movie, it won’t be winning any awards. Congrats to Mister 300!
