Pure Cinematography!!

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2009)

This movie proves what a superhero movie can and should be. First off,the movie was great! I saw this opening night and the visuals and amount of complex details is almost too much to take in. The depth in this movie is like the clock that is referred to in it and all of its components perfectly work together to run a masterpiece. Watchmen couples great acting with spectacular effects and visuals with stellar cinematography to baffle any movie goer in amazement. For people who are in to quick action flicks or people who are prepared to see hell boy with cute little jokes while tackling a basic storyline, do not see this movie. This is not a flick to be taken as one or to be rated as one. It is an emotional drama/graphic masterpiece that is based on a quite unusual and amazing graphic novel. Another thing I would have to comment on is the amount of character detail and character development throughout the movie nicely done by the director. Even Eddie Blake is created to be a chip of pure evil and good and its hard for you to really tell if you want him to have died or find the goodness in his heart through accounts of brutal rape and murder. The complex character creation was done perfectly well with the symmetry of the plot line. All background detail was covered to make this movie very spectacular. This movie should be the forefront and the dark knight, in my opinion, of how superhero movies should be shot. Too many directors are focused on the quick action sequences and effects without tackling major lack in story depth, character, and acting. These points are perfectly addressed in Watchmen and I would recommend it to anyone willing to enjoy a treat to the naked eye :)
