This time, Spoiler FREE!



Watchmen
The Look: Amazing, just utterly stunning, visually gripping without being overloaded, the use of color and detail is astounding. Lots of large and small things used to make you very aware of the time periods covered as if looking at them through a funhouse mirror.

The Acting: Firstly, I call foul on everyone who's attacking Malin Ackermen, she did a great job, especially with her big 'moment' that each character had, I truly felt her horror, which means she made me care enough previously to give a damn, she also made Laurie much less self-absorbed and oblivious then in the book; however, I have to say the movie belongs to Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jackie Earle Haley, who made the Comedian a human being and Rorschach heartbreaking respectively. And both of them are effing terrifying, yikes.

Carlo Gugino was fantastic, as usual, as Sally Jupiter/Silk Spectre I and gorgeous even under all the latex. Patrick Wilson is the heart of the movie as Nite Owl II, so loving of his fellow Watchmen that it is brutal watching the last of his innocence ripped away, Billy Crudup was sad and lonely as Dr. Manhattan, which is as he should be and Matthew Goode, whom I've never ecountered before, was perfectly, frighteningly logical as Ozymandias/Adrian Viedt, he made Ozzy the bastard child of Lex Luthor and Spock, which is right on.

The Soundtrack: I have never seen or heard such a badass use of music in a movie before, very unexpected and yet oddly right tunes for the scenes.

In conclusion, I enjoyed, going to see it again this weekend, I'd highly recommend it.
