The movie I joked was more important for David Hayter to work on than to do Metal Gear Solid 4.
The movie adapted from one of the best graphics novels ever made.
And I have to say that three hours was not enough! There was a lot of smaller stuff left out from the comic, like the whole police investigating Rorshach and hassling the Owl about it, more time spent with the prison shrink, so on and so forth. But you know what? Its fine. The only thing I felt was missing was showing what the New Frontiersman was about, with Rorshach going to pick it up while carrying around his sign and such.
But honestly, that's not a big deal. It might even be awaiting me on the Collector's Extended Director's Cut Full Unrated Gift Box Edition with bonus action figures and Watchmen Saturday Morning Cartoon extra disc. As is I really, really enjoyed it. Not something I can really recommend to everyone; if you want clearer good and bad guys, this might not be something you will enjoy. Don't take the kids - the violence is graphics, there is nudity (male and female), and there is sex. Do I really have to say that? After seeing little kids in the theater with their parents watching The Dark Knight? Yeah, I think it needs to be put out there.
NOT. FOR. KIDS.
Very good, very well done. I really, really enjoyed it.
And before you ask: I liked Rorshach (even if he was a psycho), but the Owl was definitely my favorite.
