re: The Watchmen

It's one of my favorite films and I watch it repeatedly. It's one of the few films that I keep on my phone and other devices.

The first trailer is at the top of my list of movie trailers. The Friday that they released the trailer, I watched it over and over for the entire afternoon. It is also on my phone.

It isn't a perfect film or adaptation, but Snyder did the best that he could do. I'm not a total fan of the music selection and the casting of Silk Spectre, but other than that I have no problems with it.

There are scenes and segments that are so close to the comic, it's just uncanny. The filmed origin of Dr. Manhattan still gives me chills.

I can understand fans of the comic being upset. Reading those issues as they were originally released was heart wrenching and made a huge impact on everyone. But Snyder had to make some hard choices and I think he made them correctly.

When the film came out I had to buy multiple copies of the TPB. My kids' friends kept borrowing mine, so I just gave them copies to lend out.
