Turns out, I do. So only one of you probably knows what this will be vaguely about, and might care just a tad. or not, but I digress. So I finally saw the watchmen movie, and I must say, I was mostly pleased with the way it turned out. Casting was pretty good. They all looked about right, and mannerisms were mostly down as well. The comedian might have been able to be better, but maybe not.

Only real disappointments that weren't too big anyways were....

1) the mars scenes. The first part with his flashbacks was mostly decent, but the second part with laurie I felt was lacking and didn't have the same impact that the book had for that part. And the whole relativity of time thing didn't really come through. As in the book, I really liked that "4 seconds ago, this happened. 2 minutes ahead, this. and then the photograph drops" section, which really didn't show up.

2) the giant squid octopus psychic alien brainwave killer blast thing. I understand that without the whole extra sections of articles and other little parts about development of the monstrosity, no one would know what was going if they hadn't read the book, which mainstream audiences would have not expected to have done, but I feel that it was far more effective than the "Doc Manhattan gone evil" routine, even if it had the same result.

But besides that, and pardon the most likely difficult comprehension of this piece, not too many complaints. And the Nite Owl certainly did git 'er done.
