Will you watch these Watchmen?
Dimmukane:
This is what has to happen if the movie ends up sucking.
Blue Kitty:
Saturday Morning Watchmen

The New Yorker reviewer doesn't like it (link contains major untagged spoilers) and takes a few cheap shots while expressing his dislike. His beef is is the ever-increasing fetishization of violence and the ever-growing abstraction of suffering. Which is a legitimate beef to have, by and large, but I'm sure there are better points to make about the film's weaknesses.
Alex C:
Holy shit. Roger Ebert gave it 4 stars. I didn't really see that coming and I don't know what to make of it, particularly since we tend to have rather similar tastes.

Lane is a pretentious asshole who needs to find another vocation. He's completely missed the point of the story, and seems so focused on the fact that it's a comic (and ooooh how this pretentious turd hates comics) that he can't actually see what the movie is telling us: that in a culture which has become inured to violence through over exposure, the limit of what is acceptable becomes the province of the overindulgent, the insane, and the simple minded.. He whines that Rorshach reads like a bad James Ellroy. Well YEAH. That's the point, you fucking nitwit.
Three donkeypunches and a kick to the nads for Mister Tony Lane.
