Not exactly a review but more of a thought on Watchmen.

So, it's been about 3 days for me since I have seen Watchmen and still I have yet to decide if I really liked it as much as I think I do. It's hard for me to decide beacuse I read all the reviews and suck in other's opinions like a sponge but still my head is spinning.

When I saw it I walked out of the theatre in a weird daze. I couldn't get the book out of my head which sucks because I didn't go and read a book, I went to watch a film. Yet still, all I could do was think about the book comparing to the film. I think this was a huge flaw with the movie itself. The first half of it was almost flawless with the actual graphic novel. Shot for shot, word for word and yes that little fanboy inside of me jumped for joy everytime Rorschach said something (which I totally agree, he was by far the best part of the film). Now the second half of it was what puzzled my tiny lil brain. It went off the pages so much that I got lost. Having been so faithful to the book for 90 minutes then just making up your own parts fucked with me terribly and I started to get confused. I am not sure if I was confused because of the movie itself or the book. I am actually going to be seeing it again to see if I can get a better grasp of it on my own and without the book inside of my head.

I will tell you though, I have really no problem with Zach Snyder. I thought his visuals were amazing. What he did with some of the panels in the book were just incredible and some scenes will really be with me forever. So I guess that sums it up. I didn't like the whole movie but I fuckin loved alot of the parts of the movie. Just exactly like the book. I never truly loved the book. I just really like parts of the book. So all in all I am happy.

Word to your mother,
