Actually, scratch that. Best movie ever. Period.
Just watched it... I give it a thumbs up.

I'm not terribly psyched about yet another superhero movie, but I might see it tonight. Only reason it's really interested me is that MisterPuck voiced a character in Curse of the Black Freighter.
Mmm. I'm not much of a superhero fan, but I *am* a fan of Watchmen, since Alan Moore pretty much turned the whole genre on its ear when he created it. I was explaining the story to a bus driver-buddy of mine and I described it as being "what would probably happen if there really were superheroes. Some would probably get burnt out by their own abilities and there probably would be a government ban on bands of costumed crusaders".
Edited to add: MisterPuck did one of the voices in "Curse of the Black Freighter"? Okay, I was going to pre-order the DVD, now I'm going to be hard put *not* to camp out in front of Blockbuster the day it comes out.
I loved it. Like the Dark Knight, it's long, dark and intense (as it should be, just like the graphic novels) so it's not something I'll run out and see again any time soon, but it's a great piece of art that should be seen by anyone remotely interested by the subject matter or super heroes in general.
So I heard there's a lot of flapping blue willy goin' on. Is this true, cuz I don't wanna have to stare at a glowing fun stick for too long.
There is, but you are rewarded with boobies and a nice bum in the end, so its worth it.

Its really not all that distracting. They don't draw attention to it (as opposed to the recent GTA expansion). It's just... there. Its a body part. Just blue.
I just got back from seeing the movie. It was my first taste to the world of "The Watchmen" and I think that the idea alone was genius. The style and presentation of the movie was done very well and overall I think it was a great movie. I'm not a big fan of comic books/graphic novels, and I have very little background knowledge of movies like this, but in my opinion "Watchmen" was a must-see.
I went with a friend who was VERY distracted by "little Dr. Manhattan" but it didn't seem to phase me. Once you get into the movie you barely notice it. But I was pretty taken aback when I first saw that it wasn't going to go away because I thought the trailers had him with his black thong on, but now that I think about it they must have either tastefully cropped the images or digitally put the thong on him.
It reminds me of the "I Love You, Man" trailers. The rated R trailer and the G rated trailer have the same footage, but they've digitally dubbed over all the cussing to make it more appropriate. It really tricks you because all the sudden those scenes come up and it's totally not what you heard on the commercial.
But anyway, it was an awesome movie!
Weird, the only time Dr. Manhatten is ever completely naked in the comic is when he was "created". After that he always wears that thong =/

So, for those who have seen it *and no spoilers please* is there anything after the credits?
NOpe... just credits...
I just got back from the movie... it wasn't anything special for me. It was good, just not my thing.
it was good I was just really tired during it. About the docs little doc to me it looked really flat for some reason like his muscles and stuff in 3d but he was flat down there.
overall a very good movie even though i didnt read the comic.
I saw it tonight. It was okay, but I just couldn't get to into it. Visuals were nice, though.
