In my world College Basketball is far superior to the NBA. I consider the rivalries, the drama, and the actual play to be much more entertaining than what can be found in the NBA.

First, I am sorry for the title… it was too obvious to not do. I welcome your hatred.

Watchmen is the latest Zack Snyder movie, and definitely his best. Let me sum up my mini-review right here: If you are a big fan, go in expecting a great adaptation (think the latest movie version of Hitchhiker’s Guide).
