These last few days have been exciting here at geek HQ, with many of the staff atwitter (in both senses) after having seen Watchmen. The reviews have come pouring in of course, and we thought we'd distill some of them for you in easily-digestible Twitter-like chunks. (Wow, two Twitter references in 2 sentences!) So check out what the monkeys at ThinkGeek are saying about Watchmen:
So what did YOU think of Watchmen? Let us know in the comments!
- Danny says, "Watching the movie feels just like reading a comic book, although I've never read the original story"
- Jacob's thoughts were "Flame me if you want, but the new ending is so much better. When I read the book, I thought Alan Moore was just trying to see how far he could stretch the geekly suspension of disbelief."
- Fraize summarized: "The world's smartest man has super-ninja-monkey-moves, the biggest badass wears a fedora, and the superman exists - and he has a great big blue swinging... ego."
- Carrie told us "The first scene was rhythmically filmed and paced just like a drawn page from the book, but the editing went downhill from there."
- Shane raved "Visually stunning, captured the feel of the comic perfectly. Acting was top notch, and frankly I loved the movie - even though I'm positive Alan Moore would hate it (provided he ever watched it)."
- and Rob sums things up by saying "Action packaged and anatomically correct!"
