Jay’s 1-minute movie review:
For all of the millions (‘…and The Rock says MILLIONS!’) of Watchmen fans – rejoice! The movie stays true as an adaptation of the graphic novel. The special FX are on point, the storyline is intact, and Rorshach is a fuccin BEAST!
The ending is different from the alien-invasion book ending – but I say the movie version actually makes better sense.
The best part of the movie is watching the Watchmen in their fight scenes! There’s a reason these vigilantes were running shit! We see them in all of their gut-wrenching, BONE-CRUNCHING, crime fighting glory! And Damn a Carla Gaguino! that other chik – Silk Spectre II, is the real darling of the movie.
Watch her and Night Owl get biz-nut in his flying owl-ship!! 🙂 …and again I say – 🙂 !
Dr. Manhatten [the blue guy] is cool.
Ozymandius is smooth-talking terror, the Comedian – I wish they shown more of him. ….and did I mention that Rorshach is a BEAST?!
Movie takes 2 hours and 40min to get the story across – but its well worth it to watch – if only ONCE.
My Grade: 4 out of 5 stars.
it was great. i loved it. will DEFINITELY see it again
two things: 1. i got three words for ya- gratuitous blue penis.
b. super-hero vehicular sex!
but the story was great. “GIMME BACK MY FACE!!!!!!!!”

I was a tad underwhelmed. It’s ironic that I think that V For Vendetta, while much less faithful to the source material, was a much better film, even though I like the Watchmen comic-book better.
