Watchmen

Saw Watchmen yesterday. Had an episode of mad giggles as the look of the film was 88% similar to the novel.
Now let's discuss the remaining 12%.

The soundtrack lacked symmetry. The objective of a decent soundtrack is to add mood and irony to the scene that its layered with --- but the songs stood out in a crooked way, same as the bones that popped out after Miss Jupiter with Nite Owl beat the crap out of a topknot gang member.

The way it ended was seriously contrary to how it ended in the novel -- it was empty and it didn't twist the guts the way that it should have. Now I know that filming this story is nothing short of impossible --- the back story of Roscharch's shrink was not even discussed and so is the significance of the Frontiersman --- and the novel within the novel...alas it was missing.

Veidt's empty eyes was haunting but his back story was also sorely neglected. He wasn't as charming as he should have been. Instead, he felt as if he's some closeted bitch queen who is slightly ticked off at the world in general.

I heard Roscharch.

And damn it, it's blue! Everything is blue!
