Regarding Wick’s Review
You thought the visuals were bad, Wick? Visually, this film was amazing, IMO. Sure, some of the costumes looked a little cheesy but the CGI on Nite Owl’s ship, the Vietnam war scene, and Dr. Manhattan’s Mars fortress were pretty cool, at least I thought.

Regarding Wick’s Review
The more I talk to people about this movie, the more I wonder if my love of it comes from knowing the source material so well. Those who have read the comic seem to love the movie, those who have not seem to dislike or not even understand what happens. Wick talks about the adolescent nature of the ideas, but in my head that’s a good thing. The large point of Watchmen is to dissect the adolescent nature of comics and superheroes in general.

Wish I could separate my head from the comic on this one and be a bit more objective.

Regarding Wick’s Review
Sorry for the buzzkill dudes, but I found the movie as flawed as its heroes. Happy I saw it though. Sure was interesting.
