It's going to be interesting for sure, but I usually watch movies like 2 weeks after it comes out so the theaters are empty. I'm curious to see it because its a superhero movie with an R rating, no stupid little pre-tweens are allowed to see this movie.

We have to read a total of 13 books for the low price of $3,500 just to watch a 2 hour film on it?....That's a great deal. I'm in.

Saw the midnight release of it...


This movie rocks. Heads up for those not in the know. This movie is a film noir style movie. It's sort of like how Max Payne (the video game) is, and maybe movies like 300, The Spirit or Sin City (not visually). This isn't your typical super hero team movie where everyone holds hands and saves the day. I'd say it's worth checking out in theaters. And yes it's rated R so you know that means you have to watch it because when you are 8 years old, you're just not a kid anymore.

The Watchmen graphic novel is the best selling graphic novel to date, I believe. I haven't read it myself, but honestly, I wouldn't bother reading it until after the movie. Reading it before the movie will just spoil it for you because you'll know what's going to happen. I'd say read the graphic novel afterward to help fill in anything you might be confused about.

Ooohkay... After an excursion for uni, we were meant to go and look at other art exhibitons. Us, being still young, wild and rebellious, decided after much thought to smuggle vodka into the cinemas. So we were quite tipsy and there is MUCH penis. So I was giggling like I was a little school girl, it's definately not a movie for kids, which I had thought it was. So the giggling goes so far from immaturity, but shock. But overall it was a pretty good movie, it made me hell late for band practise, it went for 3 hours. Lol, we got out around 6pm when it started at 3:05pm or something, crazy!
