Comment Watchmen just wasn't that good (Score 1) 771
My friend barfed in his pants halfway through the movie (hilarious story, he was drunk, went to the bathroom to chuck, then failing to do so sat down to crap, then immediately leaned forward and barfed in his now-pulled-down pants) and I was relieved I got to drive him home instead of sitting through the rest of the movie.
There was so much "let's talk about stuff and be really deep and shit and check out this scary flashback" - which maybe reflects the comic well, but doesn't translate into a very good movie. It took forever, was boring, and unlike the comic, I couldn't put it down half way through and have a sandwich and think about the cool stuff happening. Perhaps watchmen just was't a good choice for a movie adaptation, or maybe it was poorly made, either way, I hardly think it qualifies as a really great movie.
