Watchmen

I discovered watchmen a few hundred days ago. I would like to say that I'm one of the hardcore watchmen fans who have discovered it many years ago when first published, but im not. I discovered it at the midnight showing of dark knight and was instantly facsinated by it. Needless to say the book was in my hands days later and I read it in disbelife. When I was younger I was a comic book geek in the making falling in love with batman and various other comics. This book was nothing like those. It was dirty it was wrong..it was fucked up in so many words. The book amazed me and have since read it 6 plus times. Watchmen sparked me creatively and opened my mind and really changed my perception on what I was living. After reading watchmen I craved more. I found the original sin city books, v for vendetta and the maxx. I discovered amazing movies and came to the realizition that this is what i wanted to do. I wanted to write and be creative. Now move the time forward 300 days. its 8 o clock and im the first person in line to see this movie. Yes im that big of a dork. The movie was amazingly done. NOW my cynical side must come out at this point even tho i pushed it as deep as i could to fully enjoy the movie being fully aware that it would stray away from my beloved book. Little things were obviously out of place was my biggest annoyonce. The ending was different however i fully understood its change and suprisingly enjoyed it more than the book(GASP). overall the charecters were spot fucking on. i loved rorschach i loved night owl i LOVED silk spectre and jon was better than i had origianlly imagined in my head. The person that really felt the most right was laurie. They couldnt have picked a better woman for the job and im not just saying that because shes good looking. To anyone wanting to see the movie the only thing i can say is read first watch later. The book will change your life and the movie will entertain just as it should.
