I went to see Watchmen at BAFTA last night, courtesy of Xbox Live Movies. It's stunning - epic in scale, uncompromising in vision, unbelieveably faithful to the original comic. I'm amazed it got made, and not at all sure whether it will be a hit or not - it's certainly the best superhero film ever, and one of the best sci-fi films ever, but will it cross over from comic fandom to the mass market? Obviously I'm looking forward to seeing it on DVD, and in the inevitable Special Edition, Very Special Edition, and Extraordinarily Special Edition...
