I Liked Watchmen

The only way I can review Watchmen is through a brief analogy and a few brief comments.

The movie and the book both feel like the Mona Lisa, but one is drawn by Leonardo da Vinci while the other is drawn by the guy down by the pier that does caricatures. The movie was, yes, close to the book, but many of its features were exaggerated in entertaining ways different from the book. Literary devices became running gags.

But I liked it.

On a different note, a joke you won’t get:

Have you seen Rudy lately?
