Saw “Watchmen” last night
Wow, after all the hype and reading about people expecting this movie to be the best movie of the year, I was really looking forward to it, after all i do enjoy this style of movie, and the concept seemed interesting.
I was very disappointed, in fact it could almost be rated as 3 hrs of living hell waiting for it to finish. I am not sure what all these other people that expected so much of this movie, think now they have seen it, I didn’t go to any forums or review sights to check, but honestly, if they are claiming to still love it, then they are fooling themselves, maybe desperately wanting to believe the thing they looked forward to so much was really worth their time. But it wasn’t, it was crap, total rubbish from start to end.
The whole plot went no where, it was shallow and pointless, the romance they tried to add had nothing to grip you or make you feel any type of emotion towards the characters involved, the special effects were like 2004, some student who just learned the latest technologies still practicing.
I was sitting in the movie counting time, and time just wasn’t moving, how the Director figured this rubbish needed to go on and on for 3 hrs is beyond me. The only possible explanation is that this movie was really made for a social experiment, to see how long humans can withstand torture.
After it finished, the big crown in the theater all kind of silently looked at each other , stunned, disappointed, not sure if it is polite to say “what a load of shite”.
Anyway, I am glad it is over, and will definitely put it in as one of the worst movies i have had the displeasure to endure. I am sure there are millions of far worse movies, but the fact this one went on for 3 hrs, and that they somehow paid enough to the media to hype it up to huge expectation, just gets them a dud rating from me.
here’s a thought if it was soooo bad why not get up and leave….. i must say i wouldn’t mind having a look now just to see what the hell your going on about
Glass half full, This movie is so highly hyped, I just had to give it a chance to suddenly show some piece of brilliance that made me think “ohh that was the reason for all the pointless crap so far”, but alas it never happened, I also wouldn’t leave a movie half way though when sitting with a friend who possibly could be enjoying it. Any way at least now i can have a very serious knowledge of people who start talking about how great this movie was in the future , maybe should even ask this question in job interviews so as to weed out the fools.
