Watchmen promo event at Brave New Worlds in Philadelphia, PA
Friday night I went to the 9:45p screening of the highly anticipated graphic novel-turn-movie “Watchmen (2009)” with friends. One thing, if you see the movie this weekend, get there early enough to ensure your crew can sit together.
All things considered, I enjoyed the movie immensely. We saw it in an IMAX theater at the AMC Loews 24 in Cherry Hill, NJ. Very small theater despite being IMAX. I’m used to bigger screens and better seating at the Neshaminy AMC theater. Despite the movie being 3 hours long, it didn’t feel like it. Sure your body gets tired from prolong sitting, but my mind never wandered. I was always deep into the film. There are a lot of great visuals, subplots and psychological twists in the film to keep you engaged. At times, it can be a little campy and corny, but let’s face it, it takes place in the 80′s!
My critical review of this movie in 3 words: It was good. You definitely don’t want to be the only one in your crew who hasn’t seen it THIS weekend.
SPOILER: There's a lot of PENIS in the movie. You'll see.
