  This is a quote from your first review of Watchmen. It is thus odd to find you defending it now.

    to lie?
    It doesn't happen often but occasionally, I'll reverse course on liking a film.

      you were just so over the top at the time that it stuck in my memory. You compared this to a film justifying the Holocaust. Anyway, I liked it OK at the time and liked it more when someone here explained the concept behind it.

• I thought it started slowly and a bit murky - PhilJ 16:10:11 07/31/09 (2)

  but toward the end I really enjoyed Watchmen.
  
  I was involved and cared about the results.
  
  I read so many bad reviews I expected less and was pleasently surprised.
  
  
  
  
  thanks

    few minutes, then.
    God, the fight scene was one of the best I've ever seen and when it started, it literally made me spill 1/3 of my beer onto my shirt front (I saw it at a beer-friendly theater).
    I actually understood it more, was prepared for the darkness, and just liked it a lot better.

    • I should have said the first half of the film - PhilJ 19:29:46 07/31/09 (0)

      held my interest less, instead of 'started slowly' of course the first few minutes were quite good but afterwards I think it lost momentum and then built towards a great second act...
      
      Frankly I think it may be my favorite movie based on a graphic novel or comic book.
      
      Adult friendly - not juvenile...
      
      
      thanks
