My Blog (updates every day) / Watchmen verdict

Wed Apr 1, 2009, 7:05 PM
Updating my blog every day now, with daily sketches (first 9 just uploaded to my gallery..) and news and random crap that I get overly excited about: [link] ([link])


PS. Pretty late to the game, but I finally saw Watchmen - and I thought it was pretty solid. Agree with what everyones been saying in terms of overly violent, and missing the point of the comic in not showing the violence in the Comedian's death etc. etc. But it's a directors interpretation, and I thought he pretty much nailed the characters. There were a many bits of painfully cringeworthy cheese, but overall I thought it was a good balance of representing the book and making a buck / catering to the masses.

One complaint I do have is the lack of talk of Veidts genetic modification experiments (ie. the tiger thing, which probably just seems like some random superhero fictional shite / cheapening the story, as opposed to relating to the books *giant squid*. I dunno, I still think the original ending was way more epic :).

I can't get over how violent it was, but I feel it may not have been taken seriously without it. And I loved it :). All this said, I don't know how many times I will sit through the movie again.
