Finally a full 10 sci-fi movie!

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2009)

I am faced with no option. This film had a great script, good acting and directing, wonderful soundtrack, amazing courage. And it's SF! It just has everything right. I have to award it the highest mark.
A lot of things have been said about Watchmen, the comic, as being the best comic in the last 25 years, being impossible to put on screen, being too dark. I obviously can't agree wholeheartedly, but it is clear that the movie was possible, it was great and it was as dark as they come.
The title hints on what the story is about: who watches the watchmen?, them being not a bunch of goodie-goodie moral archetypes, but as human as they can possibly get: cruel, damaged, afraid, all powerful, etc. What can... no, what will they do with all that power, in a world that, convinced it no longer needs them, is heading for almost certain nuclear holocaust?
I am keeping this movie and highly recommend it to anyone. Not only it was a great watch, but to actually see this coming out of Hollywood makes me have a little hope for the future of cinematography.
