Caspar Aremi: Watching Watchmen

    I didn't like it. Much too violent. Not a good story as a film. I am sure novel is good but this doens't make me want to read it.

    I'm like you... want to see it again to be sure what I think about it. I really liked the concept, though: they're both superheroes and vigilantes (like all superheroes, when you think about it). Properly dark and conflicted. And, yes, the bignosed Nixon casting was a mistake.

    I bought the book this weekend. Loving it so far.

    I think I'll invest in the book before watching it again and hope that clears things up for me! I think what confused me was they weren't like traditional superheroes with either fantastic tools (batman) or superhuman abilities (superman), it just looked like they were really good at martial arts. Things like Silk Spectre being old and retired and her daughter taking over weren't explained as far as I could see. The wikipedia article didn't clear things up either, hopefully the book will.
