Blotchmen! With the exception of Rorschach – the only one with any much substance, this movie stank big time. I thought it would be cool, fun, a Superhero movie with a kick.
What we got was blasted and the crap bashed out of us. The movie was a blatant assault on the brain, the senses and the stomach. (And a complete waste of a free movie ticket and 2 hours or so of my life – I'm SO blessed I didn't pay MONEY for it.) WatchFreaks was unnecessarily violent and gory – and I had to struggle to forget about the blood & guts for my ancient Greek dinner that night – I SO wasn't going to let this complete washout spoil my very special $90 dinner.
That said, WashOut Men started off wonderfully with the song "Times they are a changing." Showing real heroes with real problems and real lives. The fact that the heroes were anything but was interesting and real people - and it sported to be a good movie, but sadly went downhill from there in a Southerly direction.
And after the novelty of seeing Mr Manhattan completely starkers wore off, his character bugged me, he's supposed to e altruistic and he's blasting the guts out of unarmed people that had dropped their weapons and were running away - so he knows death is a transition, but what right has he to make those decisions for others?
The ending was a surprise, the actually did 'destroy the world' – or a large chunk of it to bring peace, so to speak - so that was an interesting twist - BUT this movie would've been way better sans a greta deal of the blood, guts and brainless violence. At least Rorschach's journal tells the truth.
Our so called heroes seemed so happy to get out of their spandex and lead 'normal' lives and then they couldn't wait to don their costumes again, save people, in Lori's case, flick their hair in the face of a blasting backdraft, kick the crap out of a few nondescript bad guys (and since when do heroes actually *kill* street punks?) That scene was so tagged on. Then the 'heroes' couldn't wait to get out of the lycra again to bang each other Lori (Silly Spandex Girl) was a brainless bint who could never make up her mind finally toward the end she grew a brain cell when she really realized her power and feelings for Mr Penis.
The useless jail scene could have been completely cut out, (save the audience more wasted time) - yet another excuse for more blood and gore and Silly Spandex Girl running about, hair flicking in the jail break. It was also disappointing to see Rorschach's human face then - Would have been *much* more powerful to only show that at the end. Oh well  At least in the end, Mr Potato face and Mr Dicky found their peace.
Despite this, I did enjoy my dinner thank you very much. I may not look good in spandex or have long, perfect silky hair to flick in the face of imminent danger, but I do have the power of inner strength, stamina and being true to myself and do not need to hide behind a mask.
