Best comic book adaptation ever. Period!

Rating: 9/10 (15 April 2013)

The great masterpiece of comic books by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons "Watchmen": the great revolution of comics in the 80's giving the world a darker and mature vision of "Heroes", can truly be Zack Snyder's masterpiece.
Zack, with the help of David Hayter and Alex Tse (writers) could bring "Watchmen" to the big screen in an impressive way. The story of 12 chapters, about a world where superheroes really exist since 1930, all of them taking as inspiration the hero Superman. Each with their own abilities and "powers". In this world, the U.S. won the Vietnam War thanks to Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) the most powerful of all heroes, powers to controls the atoms (this means he control everything), he is considered by world's population one true God. After that and the third re-election to the presidency of Nixon, the police begins to strike and civil unrest against masked vigilantes. With that Nixon is forced to sign the Keene Act in 1977 which consisted of all "costumed adventurers" to register with the government. With this most vigilantes decided to retire, some revealing their secret identities mostly to win cash thanks to the media's attention, that was the case of Adrian Veidt (Matthew Goode), the "Ozymandias." Others, such as "Comedian" (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and "Dr. Manhattan", continued to work under the supervision and control of the government. The vigilante known as Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), however, has operated as a renegade hero and out-of-law, frequently pursued by police.
Years passed and the cold war ravaging the world, "The Comedian" (the hero most despised of all) is found dead in his house, having his secret identity being revealed. This draws attention to Rorschach begins contacting his former colleagues for clues, considering almost everyone as possible suspects.
All 12 chapters were transported in an impressive way to the cinema, the Adaptation of Snyder is fantastic and can be very loyal to the comic. The entire cast was perfectly chosen for the heroes, all with excellent performances, but who stands out for me is Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach. He was always my favorite character and the film also manages to show me this, Rorschach is more BADASS than ever was, as the movie it-self, not only Badass (as most of Snyder's movies) but it manages to be the best adaptation from a comic to the screen ever made! P.S: Do not even know why that Alan Moore says he does not like the movie (or even seeing), saying that his work had been ruined, it seems that Dave Gibbons was the only one to congratulate Snyder and his Excellent work.
