Quantum Of Ebert

.

Roger Ebert gives Watchmen four stars, but his review is less a review than a contemplation of the film. Which, given the source material, is appropriate. But I did like his take on Dr. Manhattan:

"Dr. Manhattan is contained in a towering, muscular, naked blue body; he was affected by one of those obligatory secret experiments gone wild. Never mind the details; what matters is that he possibly exists at a quantum level, at which particles seem exempt from the usual limitations of space and time. If it seems unlikely that quantum materials could assemble into a tangible physical body, not to worry. Everything is made of quantum particles, after all. There’s a lot we don’t know about them, including how they constitute Dr. Manhattan, so the movie is vague about his precise reality. I was going to say Silk Spectre II has no complaints, but actually she does."

If there's one thing Laurie Juspeczyk has, it's complaints. A never-ending barrage of them actually.
