I think a movie called Watchwomen would have gotten even more men in to see it than a movie called Watchmen. I mean, what guys would want to watch men, seriously? I guess it all depends on what the men are doing, I guess.

Which in Watchmen’s case, they’re kicking ass!

I actually thought the movie was pretty damn good. I read the graphical novel late last year when I started seeing the Watchmen ads on TV, and I thought the graphic novel was great. The movie was pretty great I thought too.

Aside from one point in particular, the movie was almost spot-on in adherence to the original. The styling of the movie mostly matched that of the original, and even the nakedness of Dr. Manhattan is recreated. Yes folks, that is a giant blue penis. Yes folks, that is a set of 4 giant blue penises in one scene.

Big blue schlongs aside, the action was good, but too gory for Laura. The story, since it was largely kept from the original, was also spectacular.

It was a very rated-R movie and I was surprised to see so many kids there. I mean, there’s a lot of nudity in it by way of Dr. Manhattan, so I wasn’t so concerned about that. We shouldn’t be attaching such a negative stigma to the human body. But there is a lot of gory action and language in that movie, which even I think is inappropriate for small children. This movie was probably relatively close to an NC-17 rating, so… Leave the kids at home, ‘eh?
