Saw Watchmen, and not so sure what to make of it. The visual style is compelling, the director sure paid attention to details and, according to some fans of the comic, follows the sources quite closely. On the other hand, it leaves me emotionally cold, the blood and the sex just for the sake of having it in, the characters remain kind of un-characterized. Yes, there's a bit of a backstory on most of them, but it's still like... *shrug* And that director / editor / whoever responsible should notice that no music is sometimes better than planting another pop song into a scene. 99 Luftballons? F***ing My Chemical Romance? Sounds of silence at an enormous volume, when silence itself and raindrops would transport so much more atmosphere? It rains a lot in this flick, but you almost never hear the sound of it, but it would make it quite a bit better. Rorschach's narrating voice is good however, a surprise, as voices from the off are something I rarely like in movies.
Ah well, it was a long movie and I never got bored, and the sillyness of the costumes did for the most part seem justified. I'm not sorry to have spent some money in it.
