So, next week I shall be watching Watchmen. For those who don't know, this movie is based on a graphic novel of much renown from the 80's – a real down and dirty adult version of a super hero world gone awry. I just recently read the stories, relatively, within a couple of years and it is among the best comics I have read. Not my favorite but worth the read. Now the reviews have started to pour out of the interwebs of the film and I am afraid that it can not live up to the hype. The intergeeks seem to love it and say is as close to the books as a film can get, I just hope it isn't another Lord of the Ring situation. I hate those movies, very overrated IMHO but I like Zack Snyder's other films and count his Dawn of the Dead remake among my favorite films. Soon I shall be posting my rekall of the film so I thought I would get my preconceived ideas here as a nice precursor.
