Get hype.
I am a strong believer that if you walked into Watchmen without having read the source material, you missed out on so very much that I'd have to say the experience would have been completely different. I'll skip on the review for now, because there is much to debate (and it's getting late), but I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the film and believe that Snyder's adaptation was absolutely amazing. Even the edits were generally pleasing (especially the ending). A few lines were butchered (mostly by poor acting), but overall the cast was very well selected and everyone fit the part. Props to Jackie Earle Haley for an outstanding Rorschach performance and Patrick Wilson for capturing the subtleties of Night Owl II perfectly.
Don't listen to the nay-sayer critics, because honestly this has got to be one of the most accurate comic-to-film transformations yet. And considering how difficult it was to portray the story in its entirety, I would have to say that Snyder nailed it. Remember kids, there is no octopus.
Tired as fuck. Drove to Coto de Caza, then to San Clemente, then to San Diego, then back to San Clemente, then back to Coto de Cazza, then back to Orange County. Yea. Was it worth it? For sure.
