More Watchmen Reviews

Anne Thompson links, plus shares her own impressions.

Seems that she didn’t quite like it and sometimes she didn’t quite get it, but she’s definitely not the audience.  Also, taking on the movie without having read the book must not be easy.

It might be hard to accept, but the movie’s audience could very well be Watchmen fans only.  That’s a little counter intuitive for an event movie.  I’m sure that’s not what the studio wants, but I don’t see it playing to a broad demo, especially if it’s as violent and as confusing as Anne makes it sound.

I’m not even sure it will play internationally that well, either.  Hopefully there are enough fanboys and fangirls to turn out a nice profit for the studio; and if not at the box office then on DVD.
