I think there’s something wrong with me. Allow me to present a few key pieces of evidence.
I didn’t really enjoy Batman: Dark Knight that much.
Bale’s sinister voice seemed stretched and overdone, whats-his-name-dead-guy’s rendition of the Joker didn’t seem gifted like everyone claimed, and the movie didn’t make me oh-so-glad-I’d-seen-it like the movie Batman Begins did. But I know everyone else loved this movie. What’s wrong with me?
I loved Xanadu, Abba, August Rush and Dune.
I would expound on this some, but come on. Do I really have to?
Watchmen didn’t do much for me
This might be the biggest indicator since everyone else and their brother love this particular movie, this Watchmen. I loved the special effects; the acting was noticeably good (for an untrained observer such as myself); I didn’t get lost during the telling of the story.
I should point out that I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I went out by myself to Alamo Drafthouse (where they have every other row of seats taken out and replaced with tables and wait staff comes by and services great food/drink, and they’re hilarious) and watched a decent movie. I had a great time. Really.
But I would have had the same great time with just about any movie.
Which is my point.
And if Watchmen and Dark Knight are your all-time favorite movies and I just offended you somehow, I have something for you.
