Watchmen. It could go either way.
I am going to see Watchmen in Orange Park on Friday. I don’t know if it will be awesome or utterly worthless. You see, I CANNOT get past the fact that one of the superheroes is dressed as an owl.
Hoo! hoo!
Bottom right. See what I mean?
That said, I think some of these Hollywood costume whizz-kids can do pretty much anything and make it look cool, these days (apart from Batman’s nipples in the appalling Batman and Robin. That was an error). Here’s the Watchmen trailer to help us think this through (owl alert at 1.33):
I’ll let you know how it goes – if I survive AMC Orange Park. It would not surprise me one iota if I were accidentally caught up in a police-involved shooting.

You’re right of course. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was a disaster. I am in superhero group myself, by the way. It’s called the League of Very Awesome and we meet on Saturdays at Dave’s mom’s place, to fly about and do good shit.
For humanity, and that.
Owl Man has nothing to do with whether or not this movie does well or sucks. It’s all resting on how true to Alan Moore’s original work Snyder has made it. The bar was set pretty high with the source material but the previews look like it will be done properly even though it was written to be unfilmable.
