Watchmen (and other movies)

[moonshayde]

So, I finally watched the Watchmen movie. I thought it was pretty good. Meandered quite a bit and could have been a tighter movie, but it was still enjoyable. I knew most of what would happen anyway as my brother has had the comic for years. I recommend it, though it's a bit graphic in parts.

I recently have watched Punch Drunk Love. I still don't get that one.

And an old movie, Brazil, was weird and artsy, but a great social commentary. It reminded me a lot of 1984. Another movie I would recommend.

YAY WATCHMEN!

*reads other comments* Agreed with banana_cave. The theatrical version was a very tight movie, and the DC was strictly for the fans of the comic who wanted to see those tidbits they left out. Even as a diehard comic fan who squeed over the extra stuff, I admit it made the movie feel a lot longer than it should. But yeah, that's probably why it didn't appeal like it should, because you really do need to be a Watchmen-comic lover to care about some of those windy roads.

My brother is a die-hard and he said that it stayed pretty close to the comic. I really need to see the theatrical version to compare it. I liked it well enough, though.
