Random thoughts on Watchmen:

I thought it was incredible but normal people (or norms) will hate and possibly despise it.

Was it a good movie? I don’t know, probably not but I got what I wanted.

Yes, you see Dr. Manhatten’s penis.

Yes, there will be some idiot who laughs every time it’s on screen.

The actors really nailed their parts.

I wish it was 12 hours long.

The ending will be the heated subject of debate amongst nerds for a long long time.

They did a really good job of capturing the tone of specific scenes.

It was what I wanted it to be, a complete and loyal retelling of Alan Moore’s comic with a shit ton of cash and quality talent.

Loved the Dr. Manhatten section as it was my favorite chapter in the book next to Roarschach’s but again, I just wish it was longer and had everything.

Great flow even without the glue of the novel (the newstand/news) But then again I could see it having horrid pacing if you were unaware of the plot.

Yes, Malin Akerman gets naked.

Malin Akerman has kind of a funky jaw. Something is off.

Will people who didn’t read the comic be able to follow the story or even be able to stomach it?

I really need to know how a norm who hasn’t read the comic felt about it.

Yeah, I really hope there is like  a 12 hour DVD release…
