Into the depths of my mind...

My promise to you:

I will post no spoilers.
I will post no glimpses.
I will post no surprises.

I will say I read The Watchmen when the comic came out.  I read every issue.  I devoured them.  There was nothing like it before it, and very few things that came close afterwards.

Alan Moore said it was unfilmable.  He said a movie would never be able to capture the power, the passion and the complexity of the comic.

Alan Moore is an amazing talent when it coms to creating comics.

But he is no film-maker.  And he was wrong. 

I shuddered as the comic came to life before me.  When Rorschact spoke, I would have know who it was before he identified himself.  When Nite Owl and Silk Specter fought criminals, it was as belivable and as brutal as it had been in the book.  When Ozymandias spoke, the air of superiority lept from the ink to my ears.

If Iron Man was a triumph of the comics to movies medium, and The Dark Knight was robbed of Oscar nominations it deserved, then Watchmen is the movie that breaks the genre barrier, the same way the comic did.

In the end, it's a movie about the flaws that make people human, no matter how superhuman they are.
