Although Watchmen is over 2 1/2 hours long, it really doesn’t seem like it. The pacing is very well done and the movie just flows. Action sequence are very well done, if a little graphic in places. Characterization is outstanding.

Watchmen is a based on a graphic novel and translates well to the big screen. I personally don’t understand why reviews appear to be so polarized. I have to wonder if there’s a correlation between good reviews and reviewers who read the graphic novel and vice versa.

Based on some early feedback, I was prepared to be let down. I’m happy to say that I was not. If you’ve read and enjoyed the graphic novel, you should enjoy the film. A couple of the folks that went in our group had not read the novel. All of us enjoyed the film.

Go watch Watchmen.
