As much as I love comics, I could never get into Watchmen. I read it. I got it. I think some fat kid stole it from my house in high school. Regardless, I'd rather a comic (and a movie) entertain me more than stimulate my brain. I can't get excited about this movie at all. That five minute demo reel (expanded to ten minutes through the use of slow motion) pretty much defeated any interest I had in seeing it.
What really bothers me is that all of these four out of four and five star reviews dedicate space to all of the flaws (such as the acting/casting and slow motion). Maybe I'm old fashioned, but shouldn't a great movie be...great? I remember when everyone went gaga over Sin City despite the fact that it was nothing more than a solid B movie. I'm also a little perturbed that we're in the era of too much CGI yet critics are celebrating these movies that are green screen-centric (I realize that they actually built sets for Watchmen but I'm generalizing here). I dunno...I don't want to go overboard before the movie even comes out. I just wish visionary director Zack Snyder would take on a project that wasn't based on the work of someone else. Sorry for the rant.
tl; dr: I'm the only person in the world (that doesn't believe he's a wizarrd) who has read Watchmen and doesn't want to see it
EDIT
Okay, I might have to rescind my "no go" just to laugh at this.
Will it be the classic choir version or Leonard Cohen?
