A dark but brilliant near masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2009)

I saw Watchmen today without knowing any more than the broad outlines of what it is about. Those of you who expect a comic book based movie to be a feel good epic with the superhero saving the world and getting the girl should forget about it.
This is a dark and disturbing story. It's saving graces are its thoughtful nature and how beautiful it is to look at and listen to. Some of the graphics are awe inspiring and the music works very well There is much to think about here, too. In fact, I am still thinking about it.
Try it, you might like it, I did. 9 out of 10.
