Am I Alone?
Watchmen comes out today. Hor-ay (sarcasm). Seriously, am I the only one who doesn't care about this movie? It's just another comic book superhero movie. And before you get in my face about how it's a "graphic novel," graphic novel is just another word for "really long comic book." Why are people so pumped for this? I've heard that people have had serious problems with the books ending (and while I haven't read the book, if I didn't like the ending, I'd probably rate it lower,) and yet people are still worshiping this thing.

Hey Ted, its me Tom.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I guess I'll answer your question, yes, your alone. People loved watchmen because it wasn't a comic book, it was a real novel. If you read it you'll understand what sets it apart from every other comic book. There are no superheroes in it, with super powers, just ordinary people. The movie is so popular because its not another super hero movie, it follows the comic book almost to a T, and is therefore much more dark than any other superhero movie(except for dark knight). Anyway, just read the book and see the movie, you'll understand why its so popular.
