Ok so I saw Watchmen this weekend and I'm curious what everyone else that saw it or heard about it thinks. I had highs and lows, and left the theater feeling confused, partly enjoying the movie, but also angry at the fact that I spent over $20 for me and my brother in law to repeatedly see man-ass and glowing blue wang! WTF!
So comic book movies are getting so terrible they decide nudity should be the answer? IF so hey Hollywood, wrong gender! ok so there was a 2 minute sex scene with the silk spectre, but one 2 minute scene compared to probably 45 minutes of mnaked dude it rediculous. It's like Eastern Promises times 10! (I'll never watch a movie with Vigo and not be able to remember the shower fight scene, scarred for life)
Anyway, the plot was hurting a bit, and most, not all, but most of the character concepts were gay as hell. I almost want to read the graphic novel to appreciate the possiblities of a good story. So now everything I search for on Watchmen almost always has a reference to how much man-ass and flopping blue members, even prompting one (most likely gay or Bi) UK fellow to comment on a blog saying "Americans don't like nudity" What!? Has this guy not been to a doctor's office in the US? We're so into nudity our doctors even order National Geographic so we have some waist length titties with bones through the nipples to look at. Now this isn't a homophobic rant, Cause Walk Hard was funny as hell, wrong but funny, same with forgetting Sara Marshall (even though I can't watch How I met your mother anymore).
It's the fact that the nudity seemed blatantly uneccesary, thrown in your face (no pun intended) with such obvious desperation as to make up for something the movie was lacking. And yes I'm even talking about the sex scene with the Silk Spectre. I am glad that she got naked and redeemed herself from HeartBreak Kid because after that movie every time I'd see this girl I'd see a crazy badger stuck in a dryer hairy ass vagina peeing on Ben Stillers Feet. So I guess Kudos to maing up for that. Anyway just my opinion, I feel that it came off as a terrible excuse to make an R-Rated dirty comic movie for all the fanboys out there in hope to help restore Kleenex sales due to the hurting Economy.
Quick Rundown: Cons
1. Blue Wang
2. Man-ass tons of it
3. Weak Plot
4. semi-gay Characters
5. Blue Wang
6. The Ending
7. Not even close to having enough Carla Gugino in it.
PROS:
1. cinematography
2. special effects
3. Carla Gugino
4. fight scenes
5. rorschach-dude was a bad ass
6. the attempted plot idea (I like that it was 1985, and how they portrayed the world)
7. Last but not least the Silk Spectre's Costume!!
