Watchmen the Movie
My husband and I had been waiting for this movie to come out. Froggy owns a copy of the graphic novel and he was all praise with Alan Moore’s ingenious plot. So since it was pegged to be put on the big screen. I borrowed the novel. It was a slow start for me because I was actually at a loss. I do read graphic novels but sometimes the flow is a bit confusing. As I read on it all became clearer and when I reached the last page. It was definetly a good read. If I am going to pin point each plot line I would be at a loss on how to explain it but if I take it as a whole I would have a better chance of telling you what went on. Rorschach’s character had left a strong impression on me. I have his whole persona etched in my mind. And when the movie came out. I was having a high expectation for this character and the movie itself. It was well justified in the movie and much more than I had expected. The movie is almost 95% accurate to the graphic novel. A not so easy feat. But it was well executed. It was like literally watching the comic book come to life. For those who had not read the novel. Some may find themselves bored or even lost in the middle of the movie. This superhero movie didn’t come from your typical goody-two-shoes mold. Think of a darker, violent and more human super heroes. One thing is for sure, I will be waiting for the DVD release of this movie so I can add this one up to our growing collection.
