There where some parts I greatly enjoyed like the alternating history - the flower girl in front of the MP's really happened... the next sequence did not. I liked the fight scenes. I liked the ultra violence. But the movie dragged a bit and was sometimes too jumbled, hard to follow. I understand, you can't put the full novel in a movie and from what I heard Snyder did a good job with that but I will not be seeing it again I think. Also, way too much blue dong. Funny thing was, my mate thought it was the worst movie he had ever seen. |
And I bet he never read the novel. Right?
I thought the ultra violence and fight scenes sort of missed the point of the novel, which was more about implied violence and the fact that these are nominally normal people going around doing crazy things. Ozymandias should be the only uber bad-ass in the cast - but if your only experience is with the movie, then it looks like Rorschach could whip Batman's ass so hard that it'd make your head spin.
