Watch The WATCHMEN

I ended up seieng this movie 4 times in three days and found something new each time. The dialogue matches the book almost word for word, as do the major scenes. It is a bit long at times, maybe too faithful to the source material, but worth the time. Pay close attention to the opening credits. A lot is explained about each character in the backgrounds. Overall, it's a must-see.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Where's the story?

I wanted so much for W. to be an angry film. Then, about half way through, I was waiting for sympathy. I got neither. What I got was a series of dramatized events I had either witnessed or read about. Nothing is revealed and Stone does a great job of removing himself from the film. I'd wait for the dollar theaters, DVD, or a social studies class to see this one.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Iron Man Rock-ets!
PostedMay 2, 2008

Iron Man moves from the first scene to the last in ways that I wasn't expecting. The special effects were top-notch, though I was upset that Iron Man looks like a Transformer at times. (Why couldn't they go a step farther and use the skin tight metal like in the comic books?) The acting was top-notch, even if Downey was just being himself, what with all the booze and women. What surprised me were the updates: the Ten Fingers (a reference to The Mandarin's ten rings) and SHIELD and Jarvis, being a computer program. That made it very cool, a nod to the comic books but enough of a clean break for the movie to stand on its own.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
