boooooring

Rating: 5/10 (20 March 2009)

disclaimer: I'm a huge fan of sci-fi books but I admit I've never heard of watchmen comics (being raised outside of North America)..
The movie is loooong and well.. boring. I found myself glancing at the watch several times and wondering what's all the fuss about.. yes the special effect are pretty good, but the storyline is pretty simple and could have been told in 90 minutes with time to spare. I suppose if you're a fan fan of the comics you care greatly about the background and motivations of each hero, but I found them pretty cartoonish and uninteresting. If you're a fan go see it, but if you're looking for something more mature/intelligent then skip it (unless you have 3 hours to spare).
