Puritanboard Brimstone
Ok, I had no intention of seeing it, but a bunch of folks at work were talking about it. So I decided to watch it so I could interact with them about it.
Man, it was a terrible movie. Terrible. It was depressing in every way. It was totally nihilistic and utilitarian to the core. Hopeless, despair, jaded... ugh. I pity the fool who took his gal to it as a date movie. I'm just happy that I chose to watch it while my wife was away so that I didn't have to put her through it.
Beyond the utterly horrible worldview, mood, and "tone," of the movie, it was just plain old boring. It plodded along, broken up by a few actions scenes. The language was horrible, the gore silly, the sex dumb, the costumes corny... It was terrible. Terrible.
When it was over I had to pop in Tommy Boy just to clear my head.
Don't waste your time or money with the Watchmen. I'm going to go back to the office on Monday (we're having a 4-day weekend right now... heh heh!)... I'm going to go talk to those guys and challenge them on why they'd be drawn to a movie with that kind of outlook.
