Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2009)

watchmen, i am writing this review in the middle of watching this movie for the 3rd time....this movie i have got to say is one of the most beautifully made movies of all time...this film has everything in it..romance,action,political interpretations..this movie should not be viewed only as a superhero movie ...it is rather a piece of art...the dialogs are intense,the acting is emotional,the direction is brilliant..the characters are very well defined and are in no way one dimensional... i have read the watchmen graphic novel after watching the movie and i must say that the the movie is in no way lesser in magnitude than the novel...the scenes are beautifully shot and some of them are so powerful that they will leave an everlasting impression on one's mind..hats off to zack snyder...he has got so much diversity..after an epic like 300 he gives another epic 'watchmen'...the bob Dylan song 'times they are changing' and the some beautifully shot scenes that are shown during the opening credits deserves a special mention...specially the scene which shows a girl putting a flower in the gun and the flower crumble into petals when the gun is fired has got a metaphorical meaning in it that war destroys love...there are many such metaphors in this movie..you just have to think! .in many places in the movie two separate situations are shown simultaneously and that is has really impressed me...the acting by actors are really commendable...the ending is also very well made and it takes the movie to new heights....the background music throughout the movie is very aptly put... this movie may not appeal to superhero movie lovers in general but this is absolutely a must watch for cinema lovers!
