A great movie for the terminally depressed with a need to destroy the very genre called super-heroes. It wallows in counter-culture stereo-types. I could be wrong .. maybe it's a drug rehab thing.
 Excellent adaptation of the classic graphic novel March 3, 2010

Who watches the Watchmen? I did, and you should too.
Leading up to the seeing the film, I watched the motion comic, which is a word-for-word animation of the graphic novel minus some interstitial material. It had been many years since I read the comic and I really didn't remember anything. Wow, the story is so great. It puts most every other comic I've ever read to shame. I love Watchmen.
The movie is very close to the comic. Many scenes of the movie are also word-for-word with the graphic novel. There are a couple of relatively minor changes and one major change in the ending that, as you will see if you visit such forums, is hotly debated. A lot of fans of the comic hate the change that was made but I don't think it's that big a deal. The spirit of the ending remains the same - the change is in some ways more of a mechanical one, and in other ways I even think it works better than the way it was in the comic. You'll have to decide that for yourself if you are a big fan of the comic.
The movie itself is very well done. The directing is great, as are the special effects. Most of the actors are good. The guy who plays Rorschach is particularly excellent in his role and really brought the character to life. There is one particular detractor here - Malin Akerman plays Silk Spectre II and her acting is rather uneven. By uneven I mean that she's great when she is quiet and I'm looking at her, and even better when she is naked. When she starts talking, that's when we run into problems. Big parts of the plot revolve around her character and she's just not good enough to pull off the emotional scenes required. She is the sole reason for a 4 star rating instead of 5.
My recommendation is definitely to see Watchmen.
 "I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with ME!" Blu ray review February 28, 2010
A. Scultore (NY)
Based on the great graphic novel by Alan Moore. It is set in an alternate reality in 1985, where Nixon has been reelected for a 3rd term, the U.S. and U.S.S.R. are on the brink of nuclear war, and masked vigilantes are outlawed. The movie opens with the murder of one of those vigilantes and what appears as a plot to kill old superheroes turns out to be so much more. This movie is a great mystery, action, thriller disguised as a comic book movie. The story challenges you to think about society, liberalism, violence and morality as you ponder the possibilities of "what if superheroes existed?" If so, what would they be like and how would they act with all that power. The R rating is well deserved and young kids shouldn't be watching this. A great movie that makes you say "who watches the watchers?"
NOW FOR MY BLU RAY THOUGHTS: Amazing picture and ear popping sound. All the spec features are ported over with some BD exclusives. FINAL VERDICT: DEFINITELY UPGRADE! A MUST OWN!
Very good movie especially for studying the modern period February 23, 2010
Hector And Marlen Flores (San Francisco)
This movie gives a epic story where the heroes tries to save the world,but realizes that their existence causes more danger. This movie makes you think, when you first finish you're confused,but with time of thinking you'll get it. Try this movie good action, funny, and should be given an Oscar.
