Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2019)

Apart from a few cheesy lines and sequences, Watchmen really had me in awe. Cinematography is so good, stories are interesting, atmosphere is right, structure is fascinating but it worked for me. And then, in the ending, they switch theme? And easily kill off the character, who were our main? Who lead the whole thing? Who's the most layered and sympathetic? Because a fragile illusion is better than the truth and that's what we're supposed to root for? I feel stupid. Like, am I supposed to be on board with this, or should I rightfully be angry - is that why they ended up with the journal possibly going viral? Ugh. The reactions of the other characters are what is the most confusing in this sense, 'cause it questions the whole theme of the movie in a VERY unclear way. At least Rorschach went out on a high note with Jackie Earle Haley's gut-wrenching acting. And I gotta admit that I like Watchmen anyways, and will most likely watch it again some time.
That ending though.
