Dead dog in alley this morning

All things considered, we're doing pretty poorly at seeing films in the cinema of late. Finally dragged myself off to see Watchmen last night, which meant the late night slot (2245) at the big Odeon in town (not my favourite cinema).

Overall, I enjoyed it, even though it wasn't the film I'd hoped it would be. elseware, you can stop your sniggering now and just say "I told you so".

( The good bits )

The film has a number of flaws, some serious, some less so.

( The not-so-good bits )

I don't regret seeing it, although £7.50 is rather more than I would have liked to pay for it. There is a strong element of spectacle, so it was worth seeing on a big screen. I would quite like to see it again (when I'm less tired), but that can wait until the DVD release (hopefully with The Tales from the Black Freighter and the other goodies).
