On reading Watchmen by Alan Moore...

Posted September 1, 2001 1:56 PM.

I read the Watchmen for the first time when I was about eighteen, and I have to say that I didn't like it very much. I found it unsettling, confusing, too grim and dense. I was in an escapist mode at the time. Later, of course, I came to love it, even though it feels so very much of its time. But I think my eighteen year old self would have liked the script for the Watchmen Movie That Was Never Made. Even though now I think it's fairly lame.
