God, ok, ok. The rest of the movie can’t be like this. We will give “Watchmen” the benefit of the doubt, but this is… ugh. It’s the prison sequence with Tyler Bates’ really bad techno-metal score. We hear it’s not all like that and the film give purposeful sonic homages and cues to the Batman series, Blade Runner, etc. etc., which is pretty cool, but this scene? Yikes. Keep it mind, it will give an erection to some people, but to any half-discerning movie fan one has to think: ok, this is a fight sequence, there’s better stuff.
And to prove that point and to convey, we’re not simply haters. The 20-minute opening and two minute scene we saw at Comicon New York had nothing in it this cringe-worthy at all. In fact, the Rorschach prison scene was admittedly, pretty impressive and conveyed a lot about his character. If Alan Moore saw this scene he would die in his tracks its absolutely,incontestably not in the spirit of “Watchmen” whatsoever.
