Bonus shwag from 'Watchmen'

I picked up tickets for 'Watchmen' on Fandango last week and they sent me a free "Watchmen Bonus Content" download.

From the little I've gotten to watch, it looks cool — a blend of art from the comic mixed with animation. But I have listened to it a couple of times. The 25-minute video is a retelling of the first part of the comic, all narrated by Tom Stechschulte.

Stechschulte does a good job narrating it, but it sounds a little weird when he does the voice of the Silk Spectre II. Most men can't pull of female voices, especially when they have a deep voice.

Regardless, it's a nice little bonus for seeing a movie.

If you like the "Watchmen" graphic novel, you'll love the movie. If you've never read it, you won't like it. There's a lot happening in the 12-issue series and Zach Snyder tries to fit as much as he can in the allotted 165 minute time frame.

So read the book a couple of times and go see the movie.
