Watchmen
I didn't read the book, I had no idea wtf the watchmen was until I saw the movie previews. Saw it today and I was thoroughly impressed. At first glance I thought it would be similar to the lame batman/spiderman movies but I was pleasantly surprised.
It was very well done and even though I've never considered having a 'favorite' superhero before, DR. Manhattan is now reserved top spot when it comes to fairy tale heroes and shit. def. 99 popcorn kernals out of 100.

I`m a bit reluctant to go and see it as I really liked the book. Rorsach was my fave character.

I was lucky enough to get to read the book in school about a year ago, never heard of it until then. I plan on going to see the movie sometime

I've never read the book (which is rare when it comes to a comic) and the movie was amazing. easily the best movie I've seen in a long time. despite the fact that it was pretty long, I was never once bored. the visual effects, *continues singing praise*
anyway, go see it.

if he can manipulate matter, why doesn't he just make it bigger?
