I Watch "The Watchmen"

Went and saw The Watchmen on Friday with The Wife and Woody.  Did not take in the IMAX version because, well, I didn't want to see THAT MUCH Dr Manhattan.   The flick stayed fairly true to the original comic, but a lot of stuff that wasn't absolutely plot-essential was trimmed out.  Despite that, it was still a long film.  The action sequences were great, and done in this really cool over-done style that made for an excellent break from the rather heavy drama in the rest of the film.  The SFX were cool, the characters were well-enacted, and they made a point of posing out some of the more noticeable panels from the comic.

The Wife didn't like it very much, but Woody and I both thought it was awesome.

Five stars.  Ted sez check it out.
