The absolute greatest superhero/comic/action/Sci-Fi movie ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2016)

From the best sound track, to the spot on casting, brilliant acting, wicked choreography and perfect direction, I can't fault a SINGLE thing about this movie that would make it better.
Very rare for this genre, there are no standout performances because the cast so well balanced, I could just rattle off actors who absolutely nailed it, but that would be like just reading the credits in order.
I think this is a perfect comic adaption movie because it is such a well written and rounded finite story (thanks to comic writing legend Alan Moore).
It succeeds were many fail I feel, because it isn't hampered by the vastness and decades worth of convoluted story lines that weigh down other superhero/comic films.
Having it's own separate (though familiar) universe and also being set in a clearly defined historical era/time gives the story/movie a legitimacy almost unparalleled (most notable exceptions Frank Millers- 'Sin City' and '300').
THIS is the reason Jack Snyder was given free reign over 'Superman', 'Batman' and the 'Justice League' movies, regardless of how you feel about them, Watchmen is guaranteed to impress.
Incidentally this is also in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Highest Possible Recommendation!
