| I loved the book. I loved the film. I enjoy alan moores ideas and storytelling and I enjoyed the directors interpretation and representation of them.
However, if i hadn't read the book, I am not sure I would of enjoyed the film as much.
It's possible to "get it" without having read the book, but there are countless little nuances of the story and the characters that have tried to be incorporated into the film but could easily go un-noticed. It is the little things that make the book. And if you have read the book, the little things that make the film.
A very brave effort I think. A film for the fans for once, but my friends who had never read Watchmen (non-geeks and girls included) enjoyed the film too, which made me glad. |
