Watchmen and Philosophy: A Rorscach Test Review
Having read the Watchmen graphic novel around twenty plus times since I’ve owned it, it’s difficult to think of Watchmen in other terms than a great graphic novel. With the release of the movie, all the arguments from both sides of positive and negative reviews; a lot more notice is being taken outside the comics community. Wiley Publishing recently released Watchmen and Philosophy: A Rorschach Test, a book that explains themes and characters of the graphic novel in terms of philosophical standards.
Whenever a piece of literature is made into a film, some collateral damage is to be expected. Films like Lord of the Rings have proven that too us, and while they usually keep the general plot intact and maybe include some fan service, they almost always fall short of their source material. So obviously the stakes were pretty high for Watchmen seeing as it’s based on what is rightfully considered the greatest graphic novel of all time. And I have to say, Zack Snyder and his crew nailed it.
Throughout the history of comic book movies, there are a few that have risen to the top. Yet, for the most part, the average comic book movie is…well, pretty average. Most comic book movies nowadays are better than your worst fears, but not as good as your highest hopes. 
Electronic Arts has done it again, signing a three game development deal with director Zack Snyder. Snyder, best known for 300 and currently in the production of Watchmen, will be working on the titles from the beginning stages, similar to director Steven Spielberg’s EA deal. Spielberg also signed a three game deal, beginning with his recently released Boom Blox.
Another Comic-Con come and gone, and this past convention had some huge announcements and exclusives that leaked their way onto the internet for those not capable of attending the convention ourselves. Comic-Con is no longer just about comic books, but also films and even video games, giving a super massive experience, and plenty of exciting content to drool about.
