This past weekend, I went back home to take a breather away from school and drama and such. With a friend, I went to go see Watchmen which i had only heard lukewarm reviews about...and now i understand.
Watchmen seemed like the longest movie i have ever seen, which is strange, because i didn't even think it did well in conveying the plot clearly - afterwards I had to wiki/imdb it because i was still a little confused. i just didnt feel that the characters were understandable/relatable...i'm surprised at myself for not falling asleep!
I will say this though, jackie earle haley as Rorschach was A-tothe-MAZING! i think he was the sole reason i stayed awake (stayed in the movie theater, even!) because toward the middle/end i really sympathized with his character. i wanted to see this twisted guy, made such by his past, emerge victorious, and just the way that he took down his enemies....just WOW.
Although watchmen was a total failure IMO, haley definitely has a new fan :)
