Watchmen

Saw Watchmen tonight. It was a very visually stimulating nearly 3-hour thrill-fest. There were some elements that I was very impressed by. The music was amazing, Leonard singing Hallelujah, another Leonard tune, 3 Dylan, Kristofferson, Paul Simon! Rorschach was an amazing character with great depth. A true hero. I could have done without a few elements and I think this graphic novel truly might be unfilmable. There is just so much material to work with. One can either adapt and lose the essence or spend way too much time telling the story correctly to make it interesting. There were some goofy moments and some really profound entire theatre clapping moments. I admire the film and the story a great deal. I will certainly want this piece of pop-culture in my DVD collection someday.
