Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.

I saw "Watchmen" last night. It was...meh.

I think it would have been better if I hadn't read the graphic novel. I think Zack Snyder tried to be too faithful to the graphic novel in certain places, and the tone didn't carry over too well.

Acting was good for the most part. Jackie Earle Haley was a phenomenal Rorschach, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan was a good Comedian. Billy Crudup was good as Dr. Manhattan, but I don't think this performance was his best. In my opinion, that honor will always go to "Almost Famous." Patrick Wilson was a bit impressive as Nite-Owl II. I hadn't seen him in anything before.

Music was good, for the most part. My Chemical Romance was playing over the closing credits, so I got out of that as fast as I could.

Mushroom soup will probably be Friday. I'll post about it when it happens.

Semper Pax,
Shea.
