*sigh*
I give up. I started watching The Watchmen, and it's too boring, too idiotic, too pointless and badly done for me to enjoy. I simply can't make myself enjoy it. That's a first. I've never ever stopped watching a movie in the middle before.
And I thought Sin City was bad. Geeez.
So... simply put, the movie is pure, unadulterated crap. I enjoyed watching... even reading frikkin Twilight better! I'm serious!
I got as far as 01:39 and I can't decide if the whole fucking thing has a plot or not because so far it had none besides the impending Dooom *gasp* that may not even come and that's only mentioned in passing between time jumps, uninteresting conversation and gore, gore, gore.
Visual: crap.
Sound: cheesy.
Plot: nonexistent.
The storyline keeps jumping back and forth without any discernible meaning to it, there are profound silences, all-around depression, people who brood and brood and brood endlessly, gore and reminiscence, more gore and more pointless reminiscence, rape and pointless silences... and more gore.
To all who suggested I watch this crap... Next time, just don't. Apparently you have no idea what I like... I don't watch crap, thanks very much.

Yes, there is a plot, with a couple of twists. The visual might be bad on a monitor, because it was meant for the big screen. And the sound... ell, Wagner's Valkyre playing while Dr. Manhattan is blowing up VC-s is one of the best "background music" choice I've ever seen in a movie, also each song has a tie to the atmosphere (99 luftballons at a cutscene was a really subtle yet strong reference to the whole plot background, for example.)
Just because you have different taste and because you didn't let you to the point where you realise the whole thing was a big plot, doesn't mean it was crap.
And just because you like it doesn't mean it's pure gold.
Pardon me for stating *my* thoughts on *my* blog!
I still think the movie was badly done with too many time jumps that bores the everyday moviegoer who's not in lust with the comics. And whoever said I watched it on my monitor?
Oh and I like Wagner just fine. But this movie was in no ways an opera. (Btw, that was one song of many.) So while I do believe that some mixes might benefit the overall experience, a big blue glowing guy marching and blowing up poor Vietnamese like gory balloons to The Ride of The Valkyries felt like the raping of Die Walküre. Thanks for asking.
