There is a lot of buzz following the Watchmen movie. If you haven't seen the trailer, do yourself a favor and give it a look. The trailer is amazing.
I read the graphic novel about a year ago. While I thought the story was OK, the book didn't jump up and grab me like many other notable graphic novels. I gave the novel a “MEH” review as I dropped it into the library return bin.
After watching the trailer for myself, hearing my friends talk about their excitement, and watching even closer friends buy the book to understand the source material I feel my own anxiety is telling me that I, of course, am wrong and the book is actually quite good. Somehow, I'm the one at fault for not falling in love with what is apparently something so awesome.
It is this doubt that I dislike. I've now added the graphic novel, again, to my library list so that I can get a “second opinion”.
There are only two outcomes.
I realize that I do like the book and start to wonder what IS wrong with me that I would dislike something so great.
I dislike the book again and realize that I've just wasted my entertainment time on something I don't like... twice.
