I'm drained

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2009)

Just went to the Watchmen tonight and I feel spent after watching it. Very intense and dark movie, much darker than I expected. Standout actor in the movie was Jackie Earl Haley. It's just amazing to me that prior to Little Children in 2006 he hadn't made a movie in 13 years. So sad to think of all the great roles he could have played during those years. If you need someone to play a tortured soul, this is the guy to call. The rest of the casts acquits themselves well, but overall it is the stylistic vision, special effects, action, and overall quality of the cinematic experience that make this film special. Highly recommended.
