Based on the graphic novel written by Alan Moore, Watchmen is a complex, multi-layered, mystery adventure which is directed by 300's Zack Snyder and stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Carla Gugino, Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode and Patrick Wilson.

Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the 'Doomsday Clock' - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight.

When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity...But who is watching the Watchmen?

 Ignorance is Bliss!!!

I really enjoyed this movie when I saw it earlier in the year, and can't wait to see it on Blu-ray at home.

The whole experience however will be slightly tainted by the fact that the US will be getting the Extended Directors Cut version as well as a didgital copy of the theatrical cut, while we here in the UK will be treated only to the Theatrical cut, which is 30 mins shorter.

Some who may have thought the movie was too long anyway, may not be bothered by this, but for those who like to have the choice of seeing everything, it's very disappointing!

The UK version has more bonuses on the Blu-ray, however due to the fact that it's a Warner movie, but here in the UK, Paramount is distributing the film, we only get the Theatrical cut!

So before you buy think which version you would prefer to see, Theatrical at 162 mins running time and extras (UK version) or Directors cut at 190 mins running time and limited extras (US version, remember you won't be able to view Theatrical version on your blu-ray player as you only get digital copy with US version).

have just seen this film and even though I have not read the comicbook, this film is amazing. this film has everything, from great music to stunning effects. Watchmen is a very long film but don't let that put you off seeing it, as this will keep you entertained. people thought that this comicbook was unfilmable. Zack Snyder has proved them wrong.the acting is fantastic and if I had to pick my favourite Watchman, it's definatly Rorschach.

 American blu ray

The american version of this will be the directors cut and is supposed to be 3 hours 10 mins long, It is also supposed to have the theatrical release also on a digital disc. The one advantage is that you c an most probably play it over here as it is going to be region free. Im going for that version.

 Good Movie
