I Watched-Men

Rating: 3/10 (25 February 2013)

Hello.
My concerns with this film are many. I was incredibly upset that Billy Crudup was cast to play a glowing man. Billy Crudup is a great actor and he is better when he is not glowing. Or blue. This seems to be a huge oversight by the casting team. I am however amazed that an emotionless, big, blue, glowing man can maintain relationships with women.
Don't get me wrong, I do like bag face man, however I wish his voice wasn't 'exactly like Batman'. Equally, boring glass wearing geek man has a suit 'exactly like Batman'. I remember at university they were pretty big on plagiarism, so I'm quite surprised that the same marking scheme does not apply in Hollywood.
My favourite thing about this film was probably the HUGE translucent clock machine on Mars. I really feel like I could connect with that, and it allowed for a rare moment of calm and aesthetic beauty. Meanwhile, the horny tiger was a bit much, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is the reason that this film was rated 'R'.
In summary; bag face man = good. Blue glowing man = emotionless but good with women.
Thank you for your time.
