Who Watches the Watchmen

This post is bloody delayed.
But I felt I needed to post something to shush the haters.

Watchmen is not your typical movie.
If you come in expecting a superhero-ish flick, you're going to be disappointed.
Yes it has over-the-top violence and sex scenes abound.
And Dr. Manhattan's blue penises steals the movie's thunder, well almost.
Zack must be infatuated with dicks, there were way too many unnecessary exposures
but I guess its his way of flicking his middle finger at the system.

This is a movie about the Cold War and alternate realities.
don't go around saying this situtation never happened etcetera, etcetera, punyeta alternate reality nga.

There's no "major villain" in this movie.

The opening scene rocks.
Zack managed to condense a lot of the comic book in one scene.

After watching the movie, read the graphic novel. You'll notice that they were so faithful to it, even to the framing of the scenes.

Did I mention Dr. Manhattan's pututoy kept making peek-a-boo again and again?
Till then I'm waiting for the DVD.
