WATCHING THE WATCHMEN

I'VE spent today in Watchmen mode - watching the movie (all 2hrs and 40mins of it!) and meeting all of the stars in London.

And, I can tell you, it was all very interesting.

The source material and film are so complex and weighty, I've spent the whole day trying to become a Watchmen expert from the minute I got up at 5.50am.

As a momentous day draws to a close, it's interesting to relect on what director Zach Snyder (300) told me.

"The timing of its release is now very interesting," he said. "Whether it marks the beginning of an era, or the end of one, it does mark something."

You bet!

But, is the film any good?

Well, I'm afraid my lips have to be sealed for now..., but we'll be reviewing the movie in the Birmingham Mail when it's released on 06 03 09 and detailing who's who etc and what they all think about their characters.
