Elsewhere on Loyal Minions: Captain America | Alan Moore | Batman | Superman | Frank Miller | Blue Beetle | Green Lantern | DC Comics | X-Men |
Gawker (www.gawker.com) has great Watchmen news, photos, videos and more
So how is this biggest-movie-ever Watchmen superhero flick? Well, not so good if many critics are to be believed. Should have been kept in holy reverence as a comic book (or graphic novel or whatever). Owen Gleiberman at Entertainment Weekly, in a B- review, found the material a bit dated:
A]uds unfamiliar with Moore's brilliantly bleak, psychologically subversive fiction may get lost amid all the sinewy exposition and multiple flashbacks. After a victorious opening weekend, the pic's B.O. future looks promising but less certain.
