Who Will Answer My Questions To THE WATCHMEN?
HAYYYYY!! OK ........ I just finished "watching" THE WATCHMEN. Some interesting concepts, somewhat of a downer, and a few questions and comments come to mind:
**However, please note that I have only seen this film once, and never read the graphic novel.**
1. Why did the "masks" / vigilantes suddenly fall out of favor? They obviously survived the McCarthy era. Why did they have to retire?
2. When I read the wiki article on WATCHMEN, Dr. Manhattan was supposed to be only true hero with "powers." However, why was Ozymandias able to move so fast? Was this due to his incredible brain? Since I have brought up Ozymandias, could the producers have picked a more wooden actor than Matthew Goode? He was just boring to watch, and his never ending speeches ........!
3. Am I the only one who though Silk Spectre's outfit was just stupid? What was the point of this character? Ok, her mother was the first Silk Spectre, and she is connected to the Comedian .. but what is her purpose? And what does Silk Spectre mean anyway?
4. In the "alternate universe, " they have had "masks" for 40+ years, and there are no black, hispanic or asian heroes? Where are the sidekicks? There has to be some type of Owlgirl, who became a crimefighter due to her crush on Nite Owl.
5. Now I did like me some Nite Owl! I liked "Archie," I liked the suit and REALLY liked me some Patrick Wilson! DAMN!! I have to start paying more attention to Mr. Wilson. BUT, BUT, BUT, am I the only one who thought Nite Owl's fur lined cape was just a little too precious?
A HUGE Happy Birthday to my friend Reed, who just happens to share his birthday with MADONNA!
Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice ........
