Enjoyable but definitely not the best

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2009)

I watched the movie last night and left theater wondering if i would watch this movie again. The beginning of the movie (especially the opening credits), the cemetery scene the killing scene of the comedian and the music choices truly delighted me and made me think the following would be one of the best adaptions of graphic novels in movies after Sin City.
However the movie started disappointing after the first hour, the story (not sure whose fault it was) seemed sort of ridiculous and not very entertaining and captive. The movie seemed to mock itself Then was the whole sequence in the prison, Rorschach psych exam, the attempts of his murder by other convicts and the series of the shots of the bathroom door with flashes of Rorschach advancing to kill were GREAT. But then the movie relapsed in more ridiculous "emotional" performances and dragged on for another hour.
Overall the movie is not up to the level of the 300, but some moments were done with great direction daring choices and beautiful photography but the majority of the movie made me think that they didn't have and definite vision of the movie.
