Watchmen

Getting to the IMAX theater at 1130 pm, seeing all the costumed fans waiting to be let in to the movie, getting your ticket (which a friend bought you) and then sitting in a sold out theater to a highly anticipated movie makes for quite the exciting evening. However, most of the people can just get old and annoying and drive you nuts. Well, the movie however is what I'm writing about not the people.
Watchmen starts with a very unique and awesome death of one of the masked heroes, The Comedian. It sucks you in and from the get go you don't care that you are watching a three hour long movie. Well with the amount of blue weiner I had to see flopping about the screen, I think I will let this pass me a second time. It was a good movie with good cinematography and good action sequences, but it really lived down the hype to me. It almost felt as if I were watching a border-line gay porno....(eww) but I wasn't.
The movie was also a lot more gory then I expected it to be... for example, a guy gets both his arms sawed off with a power saw (very graphic) and another man is hacked on the top of the head with a meat cleaver multiple times (very graphic) but those parts were really entertaining.
The actors/actresses gave very good performances, and it wasn't a dissapointing movie, just not spectacular.
I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.
