WATCHMEN
 And the fanboys whine like bitches. The "unfilmable" graphic novel, WATCHMEN - has been filmed! Cry the beloved comicbook and let slip the dogs of nihilism.
WATCHMEN is epic and sexy and bloody; sensual and visceral and brutal; more than a comicbook, more than a messianic cry of madness; flamboyant costumed heroes, a plot that shakes the world and Dr. Manhattan in full frontal ectoplasm.
WATCHMEN is a triumph! ...Unless you're a fanboy.

VALKYRIE
Release: Dec 08 - Review: 12 Jan 09
The Plight of the Valkyries.
... compress events and often just falsify events to keep it popcorn-friendly - this is not a historical document - but they do not lose too much in their streamlining because the story itself is just so entertaining.
