    Just saw it. I didn't like Snyder's approach to violence, but aside from that, the movie was great.

    I've seen so many conflicting reviews, I am confused

    But since people here like it, I suspect I shall like it, and I become less confused

    It is nice when things work out.

    So is the violence is over-gratuitous, or is it perfect?

    The scene which really made me cringe was the one with the gun barrels in the beginning. It was actually the least graphic scene of violence in the entire movie, but the image left a horrible feeling. The other violence wasn't realistic enough for me to be repulsive.

    If you take your kids to see "Watchmen," you're a moron.

    If you see it yourself, you're also probably a moron and a vapid, indecent human being. The movie arrives in theaters at Midnight, Thursday Night. It's rated "R"--which should kinda sorta be a hint--but it really deserves an "NC-17," at the very least. And plenty of clueless parents brought their young kids and kept them there for the entire almost three hour "experience" at the screening I attended.

    Yes, I know, it's being heavily marketed as a superhero movie, with action figures for your kids. But that--and the heroic-looking movie trailer--are a big, fat lie. And that's where real parenting comes in . . . like actually investigating the movie before you take or send your kids to see this garbage.

    After reading this entire entry, you obviously have not done your homework on Watchmen.

    This is NOT a story geared towards kids, neither is it's merchandising. The toys are for total comic book nerds who want to collect them and pass them on to their comic book nerd children when they get old enough. Really, I've never seen a superhero fan-child who says, "Mom! Please buy me a Rorschach figure! I wanna be just like him!" Children don't know who these characters are, and will probably never know who they are unless A.) They read the graphic novel when they come of age, or B.) They see the film. Which brings up another thing: The film is rated R for a reason. It's not for children; it's for adults. The plot (And yes, there IS a plot, a fantastic plot, may I add.) deals with what would happen if "superheroes" existed in the real world. They aren't superheroes; they're regular people in a regular world. And what's in a regular world? Gore, violence, sex, and depravity. This isn't Superman, this isn't Spider-Man, this is a murder mystery that just happens to have masked vigilantes thrown into the mix. Yes, there's gore; yes, there's violence, and yes, there's sex and depravity. Does that make Watchmen a bad film? Does that make it a bad story? No, it doesn't. It's just not a story that you would read to your kids as a bedtime story.

    If any parent is thinking about taking their children to see this film, I strongly advise against it. Hello? It's rated R, and based on a GRAPHIC novel. You can't get anymore blatant than that. However, if the parent(s) wants to see it, I highly recommend it. Watchmen is NOT stupid, not in the slightest; it's actually quite intelligent. The thing is YOU have to be intelligent to fully enjoy it.

    [CC: UH, I DON'T NEED TO "DO MY HOMEWORK" WHEN I WATCH AND CRITIQUE A MOVIE THAT'S SICKENING AND MARKETED AT KIDS. ALL I NEED TO DO IS WATCH IT AND KEEP MY SANITY, WHICH ALL OF YOU WATCHMEN IDIOTS APPARENTLY LONG AGO GAVE UP. WHICH PART OF "PARENTS *DID* TAKE THEIR YOUNG KIDS TO SEE IT" DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND. NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE INTELLIGENT TO FULLY ENJOY IT. ON THE CONTRARY, AS YOU AND THE OTHER WATCHMEN IDIOTS HAVE DEMONSTRATED, YOU HAVE TO BE A COMPLETE FLIPPING IDIOT WITH ZERO INTELLECT AND SOUL. CALLING THIS STUPID STORYLINE A FANTASTIC PLOT JUST SHOWS HOW SIMPLE AND EMPTY YOU ARE. DS]
