Who Watches The Watchmen???

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2008)

In some sense, this movie was another 'son seeks revenge on person who killed his father' storyline, but it added a few more angles to keep it interesting.
Although I'm not a fan of Angelina Jolie (and her giant lips), she did well by not speaking too much and just acting surly. The rest of the cast weren't that interesting and even Morgan Freeman as the 'bad guy' didn't play well. None of the actors had to stretch too much as the dialog was fairly minimal, which in this case helped rather than hindered. The back story was interesting albeit it made you ask the question "Who watches the watchmen? The main saving grace was the CGI and plot twist at the end. Being a lover of all things gory and violent, even I thought a good deal of the bloodshed was gratuitous and a bit unnecessary.
