The Strangers

A slow film, with quite annoying protagonists. Really, I felt nothing for these characters and couldn't care less if they died. Good premise but execution was...average. Like I said, it was slow and quite repetitive but I didn't feel that it was awful. I've seen worse. The ending was quite good, I liked the sickness of it. They obviously tried to something like Psyco where you don't really clearly see the knife go in, but you almost imagine you do. Obviously it wasn't as good as Psyco but it wasn't bad.

5/10

Watchmen

Very good film. I liked how close it was to the comic. Some people said it was too close and that the characters felt static and the scenes didn't "breathe". Whatever :rolleyes: The effects worked well and it was nice and brutal. Just how it should be. I also thought the changes that were made, i.e. Nite Owl II's costume an the removal of the giant squid alien were better suited to the big screen adaptation. It was slow in places and between about 45mins-1hr30 I was really watching the clock, but nonetheless, it was a good experience. I'm glad I read the comic first, made it a bit easier for me to understand things.
