If you are expecting a full out superhero movie then dont, this movie is about the fall of humanity, the fact that heroes are not always how they are interpretted in the media, some are as monsterous as the criminals that they fight and thats why this is a great film, finally a different interpretation on the superhero genre.

I have reveiwed this movie once before but after a second watch i had to reveiw again. I was one of the people who walked in expecting a run of the mill superhero movie, having never read the graphic novel (until now) i thought i would have to watch it again to get my head around it, and it worked. I looked at the film in a different perspective and hugely enjoyed it.

The charecters are amazing, some have lost their humanity and their faith in it also, some have become completly disconnected from emotion for so long that they cant see right from wrong. Every charecter gets their time to shine but the stand out two for me where the comedian and Dr… more »

The charecters are amazing, some have lost their humanity and their faith in it also, some have become completly disconnected from emotion for so long that they cant see right from wrong. Every charecter gets their time to shine but the stand out two for me where the comedian and Dr Manhatten, both have the most in-depth storylines and flashbacks showing how they became the way they where, the comedian from been a lunatic hero to a snivelling old man and Dr Manhatten a normal guy to god like creation disconnecting from everyhing around him unwittingly, with great charecter depth that really relates to the graphic novel (i can say that now i've read it) it can really make you feel for the charecters and their fates.

The storyline is a bit wobbly and hard to follow and thats probably why you may need the second watch to pick up on things that you may have missed before, the movie does run for over two and a half hours and the srory spans over 40 odd years moving back and forth through time it can get a bit confusing but the end result is fantastic.

Its like nothing you have ever seen before and we should be greatful that Zack Synder has made such an in-depth movie that stays true to the graphic novel, well worth a watch, or two, just dont be expecting it to be something that it is not.
