Re: Watchmen
Just back from seeing it here too. My verdict is pretty much the same as yours, they've successfully proved that Watchmen wasn't unfilmable, they haven't taken great liberties with it, they had to cut some things to fit it in a 2 3/4 hour film, but they made wise choices, and perhaps most remarkably, it definitely stands alone as a good film if you haven't read the comic, as my other half will testify. It doesn't stand head and shoulders above it's contemporaries in the way that the comic did, but then again it would have been unrealistic to expect that.
A solid 9/10 from me.
