Terry was right, It should have been a mini series on HBO

Rating: 3/10 (6 March 2009)

I just woke up from going to bed around three thirty after viewing the midnight screening of the Watchmen, and after a night of not much sleep I've decided I did not like Zack Snyders film. The graphic novel is great. It wasn't till my third time through that I really appreciated it for all its deep characters, sophisticated story development and the age old moral dilemma it presented. Do you Sacrifice a few to save many? What I am writing about is how the movie though very visually honest to the graphic novel failed to execute anything but violence and sex. My feeling after seeing the film as a fan of the graphic novel i.............. I feel scammed. I am sorry but screw Zack for changing the ending. Jesus the original ending would have worked out just fine on the big screen. The giant squid thing would have worked, it would have shocked the audience just like the novel. Instead of conveniently blaming everything on the weird blue guy. WHY? For what purpose? Did he think that the audience wouldn't get it? I guess there wasn't enough time for all that sex and violent something had to go. Doc's departure would would have worked better as an aid to world peace, rather than causing it. I thought we weren't sacrificing artistic integrity here Zack. My over all feeling of this film is that they numbed down the intelligence story line(not because they had too)focused on the grisly violence and sex to sell this movie all the while Zack was promoting this as an incredibly accurate depiction when he knew was throwing together a makeshift adaptation with no feeling. But thats pretty much Hollywood these days in a nutshell. Never again Zack Snyder. Never again. This is just my opinion.
