Watchmen (1 Disc)
|
Watchmen is based on arguably the best comic book ever written, so it's bound to be aimed at youngsters, right? Wrong! Director Zack Snyder has triumphed, transforming Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' brilliant comic, Watchmen, into an epic, dark and brooding film with more than a good helping of violence. It's sure to appeal to all you action-adventure junkies out there. The movie version of Watchmen is set in the 1980s where costumed superheroes, who were once part of everyday society, have been outlawed by the government. But when Comedian, one of the former vigilante heroes is brutally murdered, a very determined masked superhero, Rorschach, investigates the murder and uncovers an even deeper plot to kill all past and present superheroes.Watchmen is a fan-pleasing film although many believed the movie could never live up to the comics' especially in portraying the complex world of costumed crime-fighters, social instability and Cold War paranoia. Snyder's movie does contain more than a few deviations from the original, however, despite all of this, movie-going audiences seem to have fallen in love with this film, but don't just take our word for it, see what you think!

I was one of the few people that didn't see this film on the cinema but I have just watched the DVD and thought the film was quite slow but the fight scenes were great when they come along. Overall I would say it's a good film that you have to see.

Watchmen (1 Disc) [2009]Paul
Although "Watchmen" is a fairly faithful replication of the graphic novel, there are some key departures - sufficient to have led the author, Alan Moore, to repudiate the adaptation. For a film that doesn't shy away from sex and violence - the film earns its adult rating - it is unexpectedly squeamish when it comes to political correctness. Rorschach's neo-fascist sympathies have largely disappeared, as has Sally Jupiter's ambivalence toward the man who raped her. Nevertheless, the movie is still lively and complex enough to make an enjoyable view, and visually, the graphic images are much better realised in the film than they are in the book.
