The best superhero movie that I've seen in years

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2015)

WATCHMEN is a 2009 American neo-noir superhero film directed by Zack Snyder and it stars a supporting cast of Malin Akerman, Patrick Wilson, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Jackie Earle Haley and Jeffrey Dean Morgan and also Carla Guigino is in the film as well.
It is an adaptation of the 1986 - 1987 DC Comics limited series of the same name by Alan Moore and David Gibbons.
The film is set in an alternate history in the year of 1985 at the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, as a group of mostly retired superheroes investigates an apparent conspiracy against them and uncovers something even more grandiose and sinister, while their moral limitations are challenged by the complex nature of the circumstances.
I love the action in this film and the director stayed true to it's source material and it is really amazing and fantastic to see. It took nearly a few years to get this movie on to the screen and finally principal photography took place in 2007 and concluded on 2008. As with previous film 300, Zack Snyder closed modeled his storyboards on the comic, but chose to not to shoot all of this film using green screens and opted for real sets instead and the film was released on March 6, 2009 and was released on DVD and Blu-Ray on July 21, 2009.
The acting is great and my favorite character in WATCHMEN is Rorschach, played by Jackie Earle Haley and he did a very good job in the part. Malin Akerman and Patrick Wilson did struggle in a few scenes, but they were really great and entertaining in this film as Silk Spectre II and Nite Owl II.
Matthew Goode plays the perfect hero and villain as Ozymandias and his performance was amazing and spectacular. Billy Crudup plays Doctor Manhattan and his performance was so emotional and sad as hell, but was really great. Carla Guigino is really amazing as Silk Spectre I and she is really great and fantastic in her part. Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian was really amazing and he does not have a lot of screen time, but he is really good and dramatic, but it's a shame that he died in a scene in this film, not the actor, but the part that Dean Morgan plays.
I think the CGI and visual effects were really interesting in this film, along with 300, which I will review soon, this was really amazing for 2009 and this film really did good at the box office, but got a polarized reaction from critics and audiences. Some critics gave it overwhelmingly positive reviews for the dark and unique style on the superhero genre, the cast and the visual effects, while some reacted negatively for the same reason, as well as the R rating for "strong graphic violence, sexuality, nudity and language" and this film got a 65% "fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes and on Metacritic has an averaged score of 56%, but I don't think it should have gotten a mixed and polarized reaction from critics and audiences.
I don't think that is really bad as critics said it to be and it is really good, but the love scene between Nite Owl II and Silk Spectre II is a little too romantic because we're seeing their chests and everything, but I just skipped that scene and went on to the next scene, so I would not have to see that part.
Critics also liked and hated this film because of it's run time. The theatrical version is 162 minutes long -- 2 hours and 42 minutes -- and that is an hour and a half long. The director's cut is 186 minutes long -- 3 hours and 8 minutes -- and that's over three hours and a half long. I have not seen the other versions of this film, but I do think that the original version is really cool. In November 2009, a four-disc set was released titled "Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut" and this included the director's cut version re-edited with an animated cartoon as featured in the graphic novel, bringing the film's run time to 215 minutes long.
Tyler Bates' musical score is a little confusing to describe because I like it and hate it, but he could have done better, but no hard feelings, right? The rest of the story is really amazing and awesometacular and just really cool as hell.
Overall, WATCHMEN is not the best comic-book film adaptation in the world, it could have been bad, but Zack Snyder and Company did a really great job and I could have not been more pleased. So, I will give it a 8 out of 10.
