Liked It

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2009)

I had not read the comic but still enjoyed the movie. A bit of research on the net got me up to speed on the overall plot but I had to see it twice to really start to take everything in.
I thought the characters and actors were adequate for their parts, with The Comedian and Rorschach being outstanding. Ozymandias was the only portrayal that seemed a bit off center.
I related to Dr. M much more strongly than any of the other characters. I have read many who could not get into his head at all. Guess it just depends on the person.
The violence was just way out of bounds in a couple of scenes - I simply closed my eyes for those parts as there are some things I do not want my brain to contain. Sad the filmmaker felt the need to "spice things up" by taking it over the top.
The "huge" glowing blue penis - huh? It was not THAT big considering his size and frankly, if I had to reconstruct myself from subatomic particles anyway, I'd make me well hung too. Human males have penises and you can see them when they are naked - it is amazing to me that this is noteworthy - but it shows up in every piece I read about this movie....
I liked this much more than I expected to, even though I do not agree with all the messages the movie contains. If you care about film and/or the genre, I think it is definitely worth checking out.
