Watchmen

Watchmen (2009)

In an alternate 1985 where former superheroes exist, the murder of a colleague sends active vigilante Rorschach into his own sprawling investigation, uncovering something that could completely change the course of history as we know it.


Trailer

"What, in life, does not deserve celebrating? "

Watchmen is based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The movie takes place in an alternate time-line. Set in 1985, and at the brink of nuclear war, Watchmen will either force you to be open-minded and accept this alternate reality, or reject the very idea of such an outlandish plot-line.




The characters are unique and very human. They make Wolverine (usually considered a brash and thuggish superhero,) look like Clark Kent. Our vigilante crew lacks superpowers , but they make up for it with attitude and maxi. Each member of the Watchmen are very different, so chances are you will end up loving at least one, and hating another.




The movie's opening credits are the real winner here. Set to Bob Dylan's ,The Times They Are A-Changin', you will be hooked from the first second. The colors, costumes, and "wax museum look-a-like still scenes" will mesmerize you. Don't Blink!!!




The movie is rated R and rightfully so. Parents should not let their kiddies partake in this orgy of blood, sex, nudity (both male and female,) and violence. This is no Fantastic Four!!! Watchmen is definitely more Scorsese than Superman!!! 




At just over 2 hours, the movie's plot and ending lose a little clarity due to the time restraints, but not much. If for nothing else but the colorful scenes and fantastic soundtrack, I would say give Watchmen a try. And if you actually like violence, sex, and superheroes, and haven't yet seen the movie- What the hell are you waiting for??? The movie's music and scenes will stick in your head for days, and you will want to watch it again and again. I already have!!!!!!!


8.5/10


Have you seen it? If so, what's your opinion?

    This is my all-time favorite Comic book adaptation. The story is incredible, the characters are unforgettable, and the action is palpable. The Comedian is so effing hardcore. This movie is better than any Marvel abortion that has been put into theatres.

    I really enjoyed the film. There have been quite a lot of bad comic-based movies lately.

    I loved this movie, and while I typically dislike endings like the one they did, I think it actually fit well here. The graphic novel kicked ass too.

    I got to ask to my uncle why he didn't like it (he's a philosopher), I don't remember what it was, but seem like it was a good point.

    But I like it :P

    I liked it but I think people that were not familiar with the comic book must have had a hard time understanding the movie

    I really enjoyed the movie's soundtrack, though My Chemical Romance's cover of Desolation Row isn't that great.

    I loved the photography, I loved the characters, I loved part of the story, but at the end everything goes to meh when they explains the logic of the events.
