Watchmen

Duh. Of course I saw it. On a big ol' IMAX screen, with my brother in the seat next to me. You know -- the way God intended it.

I first read Watchmen when it was serialized monthly way back in the Jurassic (the 1980s to you young'uns out there). I was fourteen and that book blew my mind in a thousand different ways. There's just no way I can be objective about it, and anyone who read it at that age, under those circumstances, is lying if they say they can be.

So, how did I like it?

A lot. A whole hell of a lot.

I don't write reviews because doing so always channels the inner English major in me, and quite frankly, I thought I'd killed that bastard years ago. So I'll just say this: Seeing Watchmen was, for me, like bumping into an old friend, one you haven't seen in years and years, and realizing that he looks good, he's happy, and he's doing very well for himself.

That's how I felt in that theater.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE
By: Raven on Sat June 19, 2010, 13:42:19

I went and saw it close to when it first came out in a normal movie theater (i dont have access to imax). Sadly, i went and saw it with my totally not geek girlfriend, and she absolutely hated it. So i had to play nice nice, aka not geek, and say that i didnt like it either. but.... I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING AND AWESOME!! I actually want to read the comics, but i haven't had the time to find them or anyhting. also, sorry that i didnt say something when this movie first came out, but i didnt really know about you then... i was like 11. but yeah, i loved it.
