Watchmen (2009)

Terrible movie... don't waste your time.

[2/10 · 10 March 2009]

This is one of the worst movies I have seen in a very long time. I am a huge fan of comic books and comic book movies; however, I haven't read Watchmen, but now I have even less desire to do so.

Watchmen was extremely boring. I wanted to leave the theatre several times and walk around, or maybe stare at a wall, because that would have been way more interesting than watching this disaster of a movie. I didn't care about any of the characters--I could not relate to them on a human level. The sequence of events was confusing too, and I must have rolled my eyes about 20 times, because some of the scenes were just so ridiculous.

I really don't see how it's possible that this movie has such a high rating. Just because this movie remained very faithful to the comic does not make it a good film. Changes are essential to make a good comic book movie, like Spider-Man, X-Men, and Iron Man--all excellent films.

I feel like all the hardcore geeks out don't want to admit how bad this movie was, because this was seriously boring and a waste of time and money.

Hellraiser: Deader (2005 Video)

It was good, but a not much of a Hellraiser movie.

I thought this movie was really good. I found myself interested the whole time in what was happening, and liked seeing the main character falling deeper into what she was trying to undercover. I liked the idea of the movie - I thought the "Deaders" were pretty cool. Some of the sequences were absolutely awesome. Lots of blood and horrific moments. Aside from that though, I felt like something was missing. It wasn't quite like the other Hellraiser movies, even the bad ones. It didn't seem like much of a Hellraiser movie at all, especially since Pinhead and the cenobites only get a tad amount of screen time. This movie wasn't originally written as a Hellraiser movie, so that explains the missing link. It was a definite improvement over the last couple in the Hellraiser series, and was a really great movie; but I'm not too sure if I'd really call it much of a Hellraiser movie.
