Baby Boomer's Beauty...

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2009)

Shortly after the movie started, it was obvious that this film was from a specific time period and I was concerned how different age groups would react to it. I really wanted to read the graffic novel prior to seeing this, but I did not, so I experienced the watchmen for the first time.
I liked this film, it has allot of elements I appreciate and then some I wasn't expecting, like the gore and sex...but it is rated R. The "Rorschach" character really carries this film from start to finish. I liked the other characters as well and look forward to learning more about them. Especially the worlds smartest man, Ozmandias...(and toughest ninja dude !!! Whats with this guy !?!) Pretty much the only audience reaction was when "penis man" was in full frontal view...a bit of a shock at first, but we are raised that way aren't we...That sex scene was approaching soft porn and you could here a pin drop...Rorschach had a few good lines that stirred the crowd as well. But over all, there was not allot of audience reaction.
Worth the price of admittance ? You bet, go see it...I hope to read about the "IMAX" experience as well.
