Only read, if you, like me, never read the comics but did watch the movie.

Rating: 4/10 (31 March 2009)

I watched this movie two weeks ago, me and my friends really felt like going to the movie. We saw the commercial on TV and decided to go to Watchmen. Now you should know that our ages range from 18 to 15. The comics were from far before our time, and we never heard of it either. So if you like us, have never read the comics and look through here to find out if this film is something for you, then let me warn you. I really disliked the movie, it might be because i hate movies based on drama, because that's what Watchmen is. As an 18 year old boy who watched the cool commercial, i expected heroes, nice fighting and great effects. Don't misunderstand me, there were heroes, there were great fights and i've never seen such great effects. I just really really hated the story line, it was confusing, and i felt like nothing really happened during the first one and a half hour. I'll have to tell you, that as you may think, i'm not one of those youngsters that watches Silvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steven Seagall beat up guys all day. I really like movies which turn my expectations around, even confusing me. But this movie was just boring. I walked away from the cinema, something that i've never done before. My vote which is 4 out of 10, is based on the quality of the film, and how much i liked it. I would seriously give it a 1 out of 10 if not for the quality. The acting is great, the effects are great but the story, well it sucks.
