Who Watches The Watchmen? More Like Why Should I

Ok so I'm not one to write reviews or anything like that so I'll keep this short, Wait for the watchmen on dvd! The movie was long and arduous, the ending was anticlimactic, There is way too much blue cock, and the only real saving grace if any is the character Rorschach. First off the movie is like 3 hours long and I gotta say about two thirds of it is boring. Don't get me wrong when there was action it was good. damn good. but having never read the graphic novel which the film is based off I cant attest to how much exposition is in that. but if you go see the movie expect 2+ hours of talking and maybe 15 minutes of action. I went with a few people to see the movie and they loved it I don't see how. the ending was just trash there was no epic finish when you find out who's behind it all and that just outright pissed me off I mean I understood the ending but it was stupid in my opinion. Now I for one have seen plenty of cock in my day thanks to porn but The Watchmen decided to spring on me some shiny blue cock, alot of it. In almost every scene Dr.Manhattan (the blue guy) is in he's nude now the first time was ok it had context but I mean come on I don't really need to see that much full frontal male nudity unless I'm watching porn. Which leaves me with the one reason I actually enjoyed the movie and didn't fully hate it, Rorschach. Way back when I saw pictures of the Watchmen the rorschach character immediately caught my eye because of the mask. Which has an ever changing ink blot on it. Every scene Rorschach is in he is captivating not once have I wanted a movie about multiple characters to have them go away so I could see more of one, Rorschach was that compelling to me. His story arc was understandable and he was appropriately vicious, especially when you find out when and why Rorschach became Rorschach. I know I said I'd keep this short so I apologize but all in all the movie wasn't all that bad it wasn't that good either I left the theater with a sense of disappointment which I usually don't leave "super hero" movies with I don't know maybe I went in with the wrong idea like I was expecting alot more action or something but the movie (other than Rorschach) just didn't land with me I know I'm not the only one who didn't like it so at least I'm not alone in that regard. So the end was nigh with the watchmen it just took a long time to get to it.
