IS WATCHMEN UNWATCHABLE?
“Watchmen” movie opening today is getting an extremely wide range of reviews. It seems people either love it or absolutely loathe it. Chris Tookey in the Daily Mail lambasted the movie, calling it “tasteless and unwatchable – a grotesque squandering of time, talent, and technology.” He also described it as “pretentious and insanely long. It’s hard to stay awake.” As if that wasn’t clear enough, he went on to say “this despicable trash will find an audience among sad sociopaths, deranged pseudo-intellectuals, and brutalized, immature men of all ages. I just hope there aren’t enough of them to make it a hit.” Other reviewers have praised this movie to the skies. If you’ve seen the movie, who do you agree with?
