Pajjar and I just saw Watchmen for the first time. I don't have any real complaints in regards to this movie specifically but I do have one for movies like this in general. When I say “movies like this in general,” I mean great stories that are poorly readapted by Hollywood.I’ve never read a Harry Potter book, but I know that they are good from reviews and personal experiences from people who have read them. But the movies, in my opinion, the opinion of someone who has never read the books, just like half of the people who have seen these movies, think that the movies are pretty bad. They jump around leaving obvious holes in the plot and characters that have so much potential undeveloped.
I wished that Hollywood cared more about the story than the bottom line, but they are who they are; they rather make a killing on opening weekend rather than tell an amazing story that will impact others forever.

i agree, i really liked the comic. actually, completely loved it when it came out, and after reading it before the movie came out, i still enjoyed it.
this movie was a decent attempt to make it come to life on the screen, but you know what? they completely dumbed down almost all the philosophy and made the end decent, but didn't have the impact of the book. i know, aliens is crazy, and this is a good alternative, but they should have made an alternative ending for the fans. the one with the aliens.
oh yeah, its almost time for me to do FNM again.
