Watchmen....

Finally caught the movie 'Watchmen' along with my brother today. Have been reading a lot of really unfavourable reviews and feedbacks with regards to the movie. Some saying that it is Slow, others saying that it is confusing. Even managed to find a certain statement on a Smelly Wanker's blog (guess who) stateing that it was overhyped and had a lack of depth considering that the graphic novel was considered a epic creation.

In view of all these i heard i decided to have a brief browse through the Comic b4 the movie and i personally felt that i kind of enjoyd it quite a bit! Firstly, this wasn't the conventional good versus evil story that we have always heard of. Instead it involves a more complex conspiracy theory and also a closer understanding of the characters personlities.
So for those who find it too complex, i could only say it about time you stopped watching the power rangers and switchedto something else. And as for those who feel that it does not have enough depth.... Please..... ITS A FREAKING MOVIE ADAPTATION!!!! Apart from the usual time constraint (of not letting it become a 5 hour movie), there are also other factors to be considered like the condensation of the storyline for the maintream audience.... so Quit Whining.

Looks like the Watchmen hype have spread into the Bearbrick world and Peanuts world as well! Have been hoping to buy myself a Watchmen Bearbrick set too.... really expensive though... Well... we'll see how!
