I finished reading watchmen a little while ago. Good comic/book but i don't think it lives up to the hype surrounding it. i mean, i just don't understand why people would think it's fantastic.


Maybe I've been hanging out with Christophe too much, he does think either something is amazing or should die, and he said that the story was amazing.
it was just too convoluted for me, not to say i like things straight forward, but certain things could of been kept out, like this.

the pirate story is totally unnecessary. and i found myself skipping most of it because i was more interested in the actual storyline of the comic. and i know that it does have something to do with the story but my point is that if they skipped it completely it wouldn't of changed anything.
hell, the story about the news stand guy was more interesting.

Another problem is that people said how great Rorschach is when i don't see what the big deal about him is, especially his part of the ending. i know a lot of other superheroes or 'masks' that act the same as him but are much cooler, costume, personality and power wise.

really, the only thing i want to see in the movie is the ending. just curious as to the scale the film will take it. oh and it will be interesting to see how true to the comic the movie will be.

so, recap. i liked watchmen, just think it's like halo, far too much hype for it's on good.
