But, as far as Watchmen goes.... Yes, I understand the morality conflict the story describes, yes I get the alernate reality parrallels. But, I did not think that this story is a source of some grand philosophy, or even one thats very orginal. Its a comic book story for adults which gives it some credit, but the philosophy behind it is no more astounding than that of prejudice in the X-Men, or responsibilty and power in Spiderman. Personally I thought the Watchmen movie was somewhat full of itself, excessivly long with too much time spent spoonfeeding the audience so they understand what they are watching. Either give people credit for being able to read between the lines, or give up completely and become a pure action movie.

In anycase, all my qualms and more can be found in my review of watchmen coming soon.

Alan Moore wanted his name removed because the movie isn't that great. His work was not intended to show how a great comic can become an awesome movie. But more to bring to the attention of the world that some things can be told only through the medium of comics that cannot be equaled in either movies, or novels.

Understand, I am not a watchmen fanboi as clearly some people are. More power to them for getting the movie they feel they deserved, and want. It is theirs forever, and no one can take it away from them. The reason the film has had such a drop in sales from opening week till now though is because the majority of movie goers are not fanboys and the story does not translate well to the general audiences not familur with the source material or even some who are. But I don't blame them, if they came out with a Ender's Game movie that was true to the orginal book with all its grim detail I would probably love it, when people who didn't love the book wouldn't.
