Just a little note: you can view cool videos I have in my favorites and subscriptions (A lot of them about movies, by the way)....check them out here if you are interested...
In other news, I finally had the opportunity to see Watchmen yesterday. As a fan of the graphic novel, I believe you couldn't get a more visually stunning adaptation, but director Zack Snyder (300) decided to actually exaggerate the violence and love scenes too much - and I guess I saw that as a weak point of the movie because in some points, this tracks away from plot and character development. The movie also omitted some scenes from the graphic novel (which I will not mention due to of spoilers) that could have made the film seem more coherent. In terms of acting, the movie belongs to Jackie Earl Haley, who plays Rorschach in an awesome performance. I also enjoyed Jeffrey Dean Morgan's performance as the Comedian. However, I was greatly disappointed with Malin Akerman's performance as the second Silk Spectre - I found her neither convincing or moving - and this is important because she was the main female character. In short, it was a decent adaptation, but it was too over the top and the story may seem sloppy and incoherent to some viewers who have not read the graphic novel. If you're expecting something in the likes of Iron Man, Spider-Man or The Dark Knight, prepare to be disappointed. I give the film 2 stars out of four.
Till next time!
