I'd watch Watchmen, over and over again.

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2009)

I just want to start by saying that my review is from a fanboys perspective, although I don't consider myself a stereotype fanboy (i.e I can accept people have different opinions). So please accept that your own personal view might differ from mine, but i hope this review might help you if you haven't seen it yet.
Having found the Graphic Novel just 2 years ago, I've read literature for years, everything from Stephen King, Brett Easton Ellis to Chuck Palahniuk. So i know what a great work of art is, and when i'd read the final page on the GN, i was in love. Well, not really, but almost. So you can imagine the horror when I first heard there was coming a movie, but as time passed by I actually came to look forward to it, and as the months passed to weeks passed to days, I was barely alive. I needed my fix. I needed something that was Watchmen, but yet new. And thats exactly what i got. 2 hours and 42 minutes of pure Watchmen. Sure, they changed somethings, others were miscast, but hey, nothings perfect.
I've heard people calling this movie dull and that it was slow paced etc etc, and i can understand why people feel this way, i mean, it's long, and sometimes nothing happens for long. But for me, during that "slow" time in the movie, there was so much detail to look at, that i didn't care, i wanted it to be longer (so guess what, I'm REALLY looking forward to the DVD)
To summon things up. Watchmen is homage to the Graphic Novel, sure it has some flaws, but i still give it a 10/10. The movie has every intent to get people to read the GN. Cause trust me, read the GN before you see the movie. It will be ten times better.
