AudioShocker

A few hours ago, I emerged from a dark theater into an equally dark parking lot and briefly mistook it for spring. My car was covered in dew and all around me kids were lighting cigarettes and chatting excitedly about what they had just seen. Cellphones flipped open, engines cranked, and I quickly said peace to my friends as I headed home. It was 2:45 AM when I checked my watch. This was my first midnight show, and I'm glad it was for The Watchmen. It's late, so I probably won't send this text message to Nick, but here is what I wrote on my way to the car - please note - there is some minor spoiler material here:

Vivid. Rorschach does not disappoint. Manhattan's CG was terrible - and Ozzy pins it all on him? Opening credits were long, but good use of the Hollis material.

Doc Manhattan ponders it all

Lesser things worth mentioning: The mix, or at least the hits are very crisp;  you can hear bones snapping and the sickening thuds in astounding aural clarity. Costumes were done well too. I can't help but think that Mad Men is responsible for the reemergence of skinny ties. And to those excited by CG male genitalia - there is plenty of blue Manhattan penis!
