Thats why reviews like this are good. I had no idea what this movie was about until now. I thought it was going to be like X-men or Spiderman.
actually it is an alternative history view of the world.
If anything it is even more fitting in the totalitarian media control of the obama administration.
www.themoviespoiler.com should have a synopisis but other than the gian squid, it is true to the old commic book.
Who is watching Obama? certainly not the main stream media.
Good point. I haven’t paid attention to how it has been marketed at all. The graphic novel is still on my bookshelf (with very few select others), where all my other comics have gone the way of eBay.
I was actually afraid the movie company would go the other way and clean it up, campify it, to be more kid friendly like “Batman Forever” and “Batman & Robin”. So glad that the franchise got yanked from Schumacher.
Anyways yes Watchmen is dirty, gritty, violent, ugly, and whatever else you want to throw at it. I don’t recommend it for just casual viewing at all (without even seeing it yet only the trailers). I just know that from the graphic novel.
Joe Bob Briggs used to give the drive-in score for films (judged on blood, breasts, and beasts).
