I don't know if I like the guy who plays Ozymandias. Actually my expectations have cooled a bit off with those clips.

Lots of very good reviews coming in for Watchmen, but then there's an awful one from this guy...

Yeah. I haven't ever read the graphic novel, but they've changed the ending alright. I saw some awesome action figures from the movie today. My inner geek was begging me to buy them, but I restrained myself.

Riverwide darling, how are you such a huge fan without having read the graphic novel which is probably one of the best literary works ever?

I'm not a huge fan at all! I just really want to see this movie. The visuals look great. I've known about the Watchmen graphic novel for years, but I think the artwork in it is really, really weak, so I've never read it. Really looking forward to the movie though. If I like it, then I'll check out the novel.

Actually there's a motion comic or something that I've downloaded. It's basically the graphic novel narrated and very subtly animated. It's supposed to be really good.

The artwork is old school, not weak. I think it's amazing!

I hate it. I was a comic book fan for years, but that always left me totally cold. It's flat, lifeless and has no style.

Are you more into the dark Batman style?

I must admit that my buzz for this movie has died a little... I dunno why.

Almost all of the reviews by the respected critcs and publications in the US are very poor so far. They all seem agreed that it sticks too close to the graphic novel to actually make a good *movie*. What works on a page doesn't necessarily work on the big screen.

The film has been trashed by every critic known to man now. It's officially a critical flop. The studios are shitting themselves.
