Nothing Spectacular

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2009)

After seeing the first preview for the Watchmen I immediately wanted to see the movie. The trailer looked fantastic and at the time I did not even know it was a book. I then proceeded to read the book and became even more eager for the movie.
I went into the movie with high expectations and was pretty disappointed. Don't get me wrong the movie wasn't terrible but it just never seemed to hit a climax. As far as the acting went Rorschach was fantastic and the Comedian was also pretty good but that was it. The visuals were great which is something I expected.
Malin Ackerman, sp? was absolutely terrible. The soundtrack was even worse, it seemed like the music never really matched up with the scenes. Honestly, I think that was one of my biggest gripes with the movie. Some of the music would actually make me laugh at what was going on, overall just some really strange music choices.
In my opinion the movie was mediocre, not great, but not terrible just kind of ehhhh. For what it is worth I think the movie was done as best as it could have been....but it should have been left to the pages and never brought to the big screen.
