Watchmen (C) (Quick Review)

[dalmatianjaws]

I'm uploading the video review now, but it's taking forever.

In a nutshell, it's a three hour music montage that failed to adapt the story to a film-friendly structure.

Jackie Earle Haley is nothing short of amazing in a performance that rivals all the Oscar contenders this year. I'm not joking, it's A-List of the A-list work here.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Patrick Wilson also do amazing work.

The women suck. And I mean, they are horrible. I know that sounds sexist, but it's unfortunately true. The brunette who plays Jupiter Jr. is grade Z awful.

The music I liked, though most hate it. The new ending doesn't work, though not for the reasons the fanboys are ranting about.

Overall, a huge, well intentioned miss fire.
