THE GREAT ESCAPE
Walked out. This classic doesn't pass the test of time. Fake German, fake war prison full of Nazis with stiff upper lips and prisoners with styled hair wearing perfectly ironed clothes. Beside that nothing really happens.
WATCHMEN
Watchable. Visually irresistable, with brilliant one-of-a-kind characters including a superhero rapist. Outstanding attention to detail, e.g. TV news from all over the world include a screen with news in Polish. Great soundtrack including Nena's "99 Flugballons" that I would never expect to hear in an American movie. Unfortunately it's overlong - the film could do without the first half an hour. The heroes also chatter too much and when they fight it usually means fist brawls. Still, the infrequent superhero action is fantastic. Unfortunately one of the super women wears a ridiculous black and yellow costume making her look like a bee.
