Being the comic buff that I am, I saw Watchmen opening night. Other than being amused at Carla Gugino playing a character 3 times her age and the misusing of Hendrix's/Dylan's classic All Along the Watchtower, I thought the movie was long and confusing, filled with an overusage of violence.
This movie pales in comparison to a classic like Blade Runner, in the hands of the right director this could have been a very good movie, it fails on so many levels, that an intelligent comic serial fan cannot help but be dissapointed. Adam Goode as Veidt...? That's believable? Carla as a 60 year old...no chance.
