quis custodiet ipsos custodes
Mar. 8th, 2009 11:45 pmWatched the Watchmen. Enjoyed it WAY more than I thought I would, given how much I don't...uh, love the comic. I don't dislike the comic, but mostly the feeling I come away with after reading it is, "Wow, Alan Moore, you don't think your readership is that bright, do you?" and the movie made me go all :D :D :D :D at it.
The soundtrack was awesome, with the exception of the Leonard Cohen "Hallelujah," which I love but which was used to unfortunate comic effect.
The title sequence is getting kudos, and rightfully so, as it packs a ridiculous amount of information into a relatively short amount of time.
I liked it! I will probably talk more about it later, but right now I have to sleep, because I have to be at work soon. I leave you with this, though:
Jackie Earle Haley was amazing, but the trio of Patrick Wilson, Malin Akerman, and Carla Gugino was what sold me on the characters as people, largely because I found the whole loss of identity thing to be very compelling.
Good job, Zack Snyder. You're 2.5 for 3 with me.
