digitaldisciplineSaturday, saw The Watchmen. At that point, I'd read about the first fifteen or twenty pages of the graphic novel, so I'd been introduced to most of the characters, but had no idea what the story was like. That said, I enjoyed the movie, but could have used ten or fifteen fewer decibels for some of the explosions.
That isn't to say that I didn't have problems with some things - the skills and motivations of some of the characters seemed suspect and/or contrived, and Nixon's makeup was possibly the worst fake nose this side of Pinocchio porn.
Interesting, mildly spoilery discussion of the fighting styles: http://matociquala.livejournal.com/1586765.html
In summary, when people have asked for my reactions, I tend to answer, "I like explosions and moral ambiguity, so I'm okay with it."
