Review

 

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?

Fantastic film with a really unpredictable ending. The people that don't like it do so for that reason- that it's not predictable (it doesn't follow conventions). If you like films that are completely different, weird and amazing then watch this.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Best superhero movie

This is by far the best superhero movie I've ever seen. I haven't read the graphic novel so I can't/won't compare the movie with it. It's almost 3hrs long, but it does not get boring at any time. They have put in a great pause in the middle of the movie where Dr. Manhatten narrates and then it goes up again. It's so well written and everything gets tied up in the end. I don't understand those who found this boring but I guess their attention span is quite crappy. I've just ordered the graphic novel after seeing this yester and I can't wait to read it. I am a fan now. Recommendable!

Customer rating: 1 out of 5 stars very poor
