Saw WATCHMEN tonight. Decent enough flick, though it lost all subtlety in an all-out grab at working as an action movie. And yeah, it reveled in all the wrong stuff from the book (which is why this is my favourite review of the movie I've seen so far). As such, it reminded me of how so many comics in the period straight after Watchmen were also influenced by the wrong parts of it, by a superficial reading of it, rather than - like - y'know - being influenced by the ambition or intelligence of the work.
