Kevin Smith f%$#ing loves Watchmen
Friday, August 15, 2008
Kevin Smith has seen Watchmen and apparently he likes it - a lot. At least that’s what I gather from his review:
I saw “Watchmen.” It’s f***ing astounding. The Non-Disclosure Agreement I signed prevents me from saying much, but I can spout the following with complete joygasmic enthusiasm: Snyder and Co. have pulled it off.
Remember that feeling of watching “Sin City” on the big screen and
being blown away by what a faithful translation of the source material
it was, in terms of both content and visuals? Triple that, and you’ll
come close to watching “Watchmen.” Even Alan Moore might be surprised
at how close the movie is to the book. March can’t come soon enough. [source silentbobspeaks.com]
Even though Smith has been called a comic book movie fanboy he hasn’t let me down yet. We’ll take this early review as an even bigger reason to see the film. Personally, I have yet to read the graphic novel, something I’m shamed continuously about by Patrick. So much so I begged my wife for a copy for my birthday a few weeks ago. She got it for me, I just haven’t read it yet. Here’s a picture I just took of it with my handy dandy iPhone:
Perhaps I’ll put down the World of Warcraft and pick up the book this weekend… Oh my God, I’m a nerd.
