I saw Watchmen two weeks ago, and I'm not going to review it because (1) if you're interested in the movie, you've likely read about it already* and (2) I just want to write briefly about something I noticed.
I read the graphic novel last year and while I thought that it was bloody, violent and gory, I didn't realize how much until I saw those scenes played out on screen. In the graphic novel, Rorschach breaks fingers as he interrogates people and I think little of it, but hearing each finger snap in the movie theater made my cringe every time.
The movie follows the novel pretty closely, but the violence on screen had a bigger impact on me than the violence on the page.
*If you want to read a good review of Watchmen (and by good I mean thorough), check out the one at The Movie Blog.
