Highly underrated; a few minor flaws, but magnificent and stunning to watch. 10/10

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2011)

7.7 seemed an average rating, but 'Watchmen' does deserve higher. Apart from a few sloppy moments, the film seemed amazing. I can't believe Metascore only gave it %55! You cannot miss this if you are a fan of the graphic novel. I read it after I saw the film, and I can't decide which was better. Of course, the book had more detail and explained the story a bit more, but the cinematography and choreography of the film was dazzling.
I'm against CGI, but, in this case I can make a huge exception. The fight scenes are the best you'll see in ANY film. The opening is stunning, and the entire visual quality of the film is unforgettably brilliant. Of course, this applies to all of Zack Snyder's films, but especially to this one.
I'm also very impressed on how the film had no stars. Instead, chosen to act were actors who were identical to the characters from the comic. Everything was just as you imagined in the book. I'm especially impressed with Rorschach, who was just the same as in the book: perfect. His costume, the growly voice, everything was brilliant.
The Comedian was another perfectly adapted character. He seemed like the ultimate anti-hero, really getting a lot of hatred across to him, but still... he was so cool.
The script is just as perfect as in the graphic novel. All of the philosophical, meaningful, dreamy lines... it's a wonder this film didn't get so much praise as it should have.
The plot didn't get across as well as it did, which I think is one of the only minor flaws, along with the ending. Otherwise, this film is a must-see for any cinema fans.
10/10. See this film, no matter what Metascore tells you.
