Watchmen

Having never read the Alan Moore’s now classic graphic novel, I cannot compare Zack Snyder’s movie with the graphic novel.

But what I can comment on is the movie, and boy and boy where on earth do I start, no, really where do I start as the plot of this movie is nearly imposable to sum up, but the best I can do sum up the story of the movie is this:

Watchmen takes place in alternative 1985 American, in which Richard Nixon has passed a bill that allowed him to be elected five times. He has really pissed off the Russians, because they have built up an arsenal of nukes, and our set to bomb the shit out of America and create a nuclear Armageddon?

Can Dr Manhattan, the only person in the movie who is a super hero, prevent the world from being reduced to a smoking creator?

This is a fucking great movie, plan and simple. Zack Snyder has created a visually stunning movie. The fact that the movie has even gotten up on the screen, it is self is a miracle, as this movie has been on the cards for ages now. At one stage Terry Gillingham was attached to the movie, but eventually left the project, claiming that the graphic novel could not be filmed.

A word of warning before you go, this is a really violent movie, so if you are squeamish I would give this one a wet birth.

Also, you are either going to rant and rave about this movie, you are going fucking detest it, I fucking loved it.
