Watchmen
With the anticipation of the movie coming up, my eldest sister bought this for me as a Christmas present, knowing she’ll read it as well, being a comic book fan as well lol!
I read it immediately and finished it last Saturday thinking ‘wtf just happened?’. It’s really good, then you go to the last chapter and it got confusing.
So I reread it just earlier, slowly, and it all made sense now. This is what separated comic novels from the pack. Talk about being ahead of it’s time. Looking at the upcoming movies scenes, they literally took the dialogues and images from here. I’m glad, and so will you folks that will be watching, that they changed Laurie Juspeczyk’s and Ozymandias’ for the better.
Supposedly it’s a two hour movie. I wonder if it’ll do it justice if Zack Snyder can cram it up in that much time.
The only part that bothers me is the usage of the word Watchmen by Rorschach during the trailer. They’ve never used that word ever in the novel.
You should see a blog out there in the Internet regarding a blogger’s dismay of the Smashing Pumpkins song for the 2nd trailer that came out this year. A lot of people flamed her for it, for there were two versions of that song, the other being completely different in lyrical nature to the one used in the Batman and Robin movie.
In case most of you were wondering, the latest trailer’s song is Muse’s Take A Bow.
