Massively fun post at The Comics Reporter, and I agree with everything he says.

Eh, I posted this already, but what the heck:

Doctor Strange fans check out Neil Alien’s blog, and wish him a happy 9th year blogiversary.

BTW, The Comics Reporter site is, IMHO, about the best comics journalism site on the net. I highly recommend you bookmark it. Tom Spurgeon is writing excellent overviews of the Diamond Distribution order quotas that everyone in the business should follow.

The first news and reviews are in. All I can think of is, “I must get well! I must get out of bed and go into the city to see Watchmen before I die of an overdose of Theraflu!”

Times Online.

“The film that has emerged, however, is a mesmerising and brutalising experience, and will be, for some at least, more than worth the wait.

IGN:

“If it could be said that The Dark Knight legitimised comic book films with a level of maturity and sophistication that caught cynics off-guard, then Watchmen cements comic book films of this calibre as equals among any other, irrespective of genre.”

I could make it easy on you and tell you just to go look at Rotten Tomatoes where it is tracking 89% fresh.

UK Mirror:

“Weighing in at an arse-numbing 163 minutes long and featuring relentless close-up brutality in among scenes of near-rape, child murder and genocide – not to mention a supporting role for a outsized blue penis – Watchmen is unlikely to steal Slumdog Millionaire’s tagline of ‘The Feel-Good Movie Of The Year!’ But it’s searing, spectacular and simply unmissable.”

I so want to see this movie.
