...yesterday.
Yeah, as you can probably tell, I am pretty damn dissapointed I couldn't get to see it at midnight, but I had homework. Normally I wouldn't have care about doing homework vs. seeing Watchmen at midnight, but I am at the home stretch of getting ABOVE a 4.0 this time, so I tuned out to put in some extra work for my stuff, particularly a project I have for Spanish IV.
Anyway, I saw Watchmen, and I gotta say although it has its fair share of problems, it is the VERY definition of badass.
I got my first clue about that (btw, I didn't read the graphic novel) was that it was rated R.
Then from there it seriously shows how brutal it is. Just a couple examples:
-Multiple people get bones shoved out of their skin
-Guys getting burned by frying batter
-People getting vaporized
-Slow motion video of people getting vaporized
-Rorschach saying "Retarded Children"
I know, reading those things doesn't sound all that bad. But watching it makes the difference. Really, it makes the Dark Knight look like a Nicolas Cage movie.
Again, I know, that's sick. But really, watch it, and you'll see what I mean.
