Watchmen was all and all a pretty good movie me being familiar with the graphic novel and me also believing in the chaos conspiracy (with out getting too political or crazy)- the chaos conspiracy consists of a government funded in-house terror group that creates terror on and off our soil. Well i just thought about it and i do sound crazy. Back to watchmen - I think the characters were great The Knight Owl kinda reminded me of Clark Kent as Batman and i liked the realism of some of his issues and the lack of confidence made him more identifiable. The Silk Spectre seemed more to me like a confused teenage girl and that sucked because she didn't set a good example of woman empowerment and seemed a bit whorish if u ask me. Ozymandias Seemed like a example of gay empowerment some how i felt like he was not really shown enough though he did kick ass when he was on screen.
Now on to the real stars The Comedian though he stared in the movie through the eyes of the other character (he died before the opening credits) He truly shined as the anti hero everybody thought he was the biggest prick in the world(I Agree) but they all also learned something about humanity from him and how much its in our nature to destroy our self in some way shape or form. I also like how he began to fall apart before he died because it reminded me of the soldiers around us that return from war and cant bare a normal life after seeing and doing the dirty work of this wonderful government. Rorschach was the top star of the movie in my opinion and also my new favorite dc character (sorry Batman) but this guy kicked the ass of an entire swat team with a few matches and a can of roach spray, and the prison scenes woke me back up to finish the movie he just made you love him in all his grittiness and finger breaking antics. Mr Manhattan was to me in every sense of our perception god and proved the point that if we could see god we would blame him for all the fucked up shit that happens. his abilities made him untouchable and dam near without weakness and to me that makes a superhero suck also the fact that he was naked in 90% of his scenes didn't help either.
The movie in a nutshell was very good to me at time and slow at others but for comic book lovers its a must see i wont spoil the plot but i will say bye the end your jaw should be on the floor. So I'm Gonna Give Watchman 4**** which Translated to Dope!!!
