Who watches the ‘Watchmen’?

Movie & DVD News and Reviews
Tonight was a big night for me. I screened what I can only call the first really big release of the year - namely Zack Snyder's Watchmen. While I'm still figuring out exactly how I felt about the film, it's safe to say that I really did enjoy it. It's going to be a big release, although it's maybe not the kind of comic book movie some people will expect, if they don't know the source material.
