I wanted to leave at half movie, i stayed because my date liked it.

And i hate Watchmen even more.

I never saw 300, due to the fact that I don't like Frank Miller, nationalism, swords or sandals.

I guess I am alone on this one, but I really liked Watchmen the movie. The slow mo punches and lingering impact shots made the shots feel more like you are looking at a comic book panel than watching a movie, and for those that are keeping track, comics are better than movies.

It was close to the artwork, but Watchmen storyline wasnt supposed to work in a movie: Moore writes non-linear, wierd, superlayered stuff that doesnt translate well to movies. So Snyder copied the panels. That worked someway but as a movie, as something that shouyld work on its own, i found it boring, cheesy and spelled out. Three things that book WASNT at all.
