concerning Watchmen

Okay, so some really beautiful shots, loved the score, mainly underwhelmed because of all the dull and/or annoying characters, BUT:

OMG OZY = FIERCEST BITCH EVER Y/Y??

I still haven't seen it. :-(((

Just out of interest, have you read the graphic novel? Cos I keep hearing that people who haven't read it generally find the film quite confusing.

It's... okay, I feel. My main problem is simply that most of the characters don't seem to have, well, a character. Like Dan. And Laurie. And John. And Sally. The Comedian doesn't really count, and Rorschach just annoys me. The cinematography is beautiful, though ;) And Adrian and his boys folder *pets*

I haven't, but I could still follow it quite well. As long as you know your recent American history, it's gonna be fine. I had some "d'uh" moments, where I missed stuff at first, but it was fine. Knowing you, I don't think you'll have any problems.

I have read the book, I was just curious how you experienced it.
I love Rorschach. I hope they didn't screw him up in the film.

Oh thank god, my world view was shattered. I mean, famous graphic novel you haven't read, WAT.

I would have liked him better if his voice didn't grate on my nerves so much. I think all the "Rorschach is so gonna blog this" moments are great comedy, though, sorry ;) In the end I came around a bit (eep), but hey, at least he wasn't bland like the rest! Together with Adrian and partly the Comedian he was the only one who stood out in my eyes.

Haha, you flatter me. I don't actually read that many graphic novels, mostly Sandman, Fables and Lucifer. But I read Watchmen a couple of years ago cos, you know, it's like *the* most famous and influential graphic novel ever.
