The Watchmen is the longest episode of Scooby Doo I have ever seen–so much bad guys explaining their motives. The best part was when Dr. Manhattan appeared full frontal for the first time and the lady behind us goes “his penis is blue!” I also laughed hardest when the mom yells “I should of had an abortion!” in slow-mo. The puns and jokes about The Comedian having the last laugh/”jokes over” pun/non-joke got repeated so many times, it was like The Aristrocrats, but except in The Aristocrats there is no soft porn scene in a spaceship with unceasing minutes of visual metaphors. The hackneyed and convoluted meta-text about the world united patriotically (but stupidly) around a fake terrorist evil was a little too 9/11 was an inside job for me and an insultingly slow ball to pitch. I would not watch that movie again for less than $85 dollars.

There is a (perhaps incidental) visual refrence to 9/11 in the film. A blimp flying twoards the twin towers in the background while Ozymandias is making some longwinded self-proclaiming speech to Owlman . It seemed a bit too obnioxous to be a subtle hint.
