Will you watch these Watchmen?
Surgoshan:
Probably Ebert gave it four stars because he understood what the movie was... that is to say, it's not another comic book movie.
He tends to review movies based on what they shoot for rather than what he likes.
Alex C:
Yeah, I get that, and I enjoy Ebert's reviews in part because I like that about him. But I still didn't expect this movie to really turn out very well. I find the idea that my trepidation may be unfounded slightly disorienting.
KvP:
Ebert still gets a lot of shit for giving a glowing review to the Cedric the Entertainer Honeymooners film, actually.
You have to love Ebert. Still, he takes the same stance with vidya games that Long does with comics. Not that it's illegitimate.
Ozymandias:
It's not legitimate.

--- Quote from: KvP on 04 Mar 2009, 19:40 ---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.

Wait, wait, wait. Wasn't Lane the same idiot who thought the Matrix was about time travel?
