Watched The Watchmen last night. The visuals were enjoyable but it dragged on. I'm not sure if i'm reaching a new threshold of discernment, if i've lost patience with unsophisticated relationships, or if i've just lucked into two diversions that both had implausible motivations based on relationships.
