One of my favorite movies of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2011)

I'll be honest, when I saw the commercials for this movie, I thought that it looked kind of dumb. I had no interest in seeing it in theaters. Keep in mind, I am a huge comic book/superhero movie fanboy. A few years ago, when it was released theatrically, it got mostly positive reviews, but I still had my doubts, so I waited for the DVD to watch it. When it came out, I rented it from Netflix. I put it in the DVD player and was absolutely blown away! From the first scene to the last scene of the movie, I couldn't take my eyes off of the TV screen! The plot was so dark and gritty. The visuals (especially Dr. Manhattan) were absolutely magnificent! The characters are extremely interesting. My favorite is Rorschach! The action sequences had me on the edge of my seat. I also love that there is a ton of dark humor in the movie. I like how they made the movie to be rated R, and that they weren't afraid to show blood and nudity. Overall, Watchmen is a breathtaking experience that I would highly recommend to superhero movie lovers, like me. A+
