Actually showings of the film begin at midnight tonight in select theaters.
While Alan Moore has been against the film's production since it's inception over 25 years ago and he claims that he will not watch it, saying "I will be spitting venom all over it", I can't help but think that he's already snuck a peek. How can you not?
While it may be true that the story is a graphic novel and not a film and any efforts to force it to be otherwise are doomed to fall short, one can't help but wonder how this new rendition will fare. I for one hope it won't ruin it for me.
I would advise to read the novel before seeing Watchmen as a film. There are plenty of copies in our store for those who haven't read it yet. It can easily be read in 3 sittings. This will allow you to enjoy the story as it was meant to be. Then, take in the film to see how it builds upon that experience.
This weekend is sure to be fun. Enjoy it. As for my plans this weekend, I will be watching...
