I went to a sneak preview of The Watchmen on Monday. I found the plot a bit muddled and hard to follow. It kept jumping around but not in a way that made any sense. Also I did not understand why there was a need for the sex scene. It felt forced; as if they needed some regular flesh to balance out Dr. Manhattans big blue appendage flopping around in the wind. Perhaps I did not like the movie because I have not read the graphic novel and was not familiar with the story line. Who knows. All I can say is: as you go to get your tickets...buyer beware.
Oh I also forgot to mention that its almost 3 hours long! YIKES. I would say this movie is a pass!
