When I heard Zack Snyder (300, Dawn of the Dead) was taking on the Watchmen and everyone was clicking their heels about how exciting that was, I was excited for different reasons. I’d not read the graphic novel, but am a big fan of Zack’s work on the afforementioned films. Got myself a copy a week ago and just finished up the final chapter last night.

I’m still putting the whole thing together in my mind, it’s a strange thing because for the first 10 chapters you’re dragged along being thrown somewhat random collections of information that just don’t make sense. Juxtapositions of information flying left right and centre that most of the time just left me in a spin wondering what any of it meant. The social commentary throughout on the other hand is quite relevant at the moment and I can understand why the film has garnered interest, given the current state of the world.

Anyway, looking forward to the film now. All misconceptions that it’s another “superhero” movie are destroyed, thank god. (Edit- with the exception of Iron Man & Dark Knight they’ve mostly been ass)
