Theater set up was swizzzz-a lounge area, tons of fast food and treat stores that you can bring into the movie with you (blizzies!), crazy arcade games, and regular movie fare without the inflated prices.
It was a bit difficult to figure out times and movies (everything Korean, even numbers, and they don't have pictures of what movies are playing either). But we prevailed and got to see "the Watchmen"
Like the comicbook store guy in the Simpsons (does he have a name?) I am going to blog a review:
I was a big fan of the graphic novel, and was very curious how it would translate onto the screen. The comic is full of dark narrative and prose, with flashbacks, cut scenes, and additional information and multiple story lines--a daunting task.
But it ended up being word good. exceeding my expectations. staying mostly true to the original work.
The fight scenes blew me away, I was smiling in my seat. There was some gnarly gore that had Shanna didn't like-feeling the squeemies. it also had some rather large radioactive glowing blue cock and balls of Dr. Manhatten (shanna liked).
It was last night and I'm still really jazzed about it, but I'm afraid if you haven't read the book and your impartial to geekie comics (crossed with literature) you might not enjoy it like I have. It's not universal bang bang action like the Batman movies, it's gritty and really gets into the character of the superheroes.
