Good ol fashioned violence and chaos

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2009)

I waited a few weeks to go see this movie because a few people had told me that it was horrible. I went against their judgment to see it anyway after all the hype died down. I went into the movie with high hopes I enjoy Zach Snyder's work and thought he would make an interesting movie... if not.. there were bound to be awesome special effects! I didn't mind sitting through the 3 hours even into the opening credits I knew I was going to like it. The way they took famous photos and altered them to include the Minutemen was great. I liked watching the movie simply to see the twists they put on American history. As i expected, the special effects were amazing i look forward to watching it on Blu-ray. The gore factor was a little high but is about the same as previous Snyder films but it works great for the movie. WEAK STOMACHS BEWARE!!! Overall i liked the plot of the "masks" trying to deal with normal life until a threat of their demise and the world's brings the dysfunctional family of tortured souls together for another shot at heroism. I have seen many complaints about Dr. Manhattan's blue penis... it didn't show it that much and they probably wouldn't care if it were Laurie's boobs in half a dozen scenes. Women watch movies with female nudity all the time with no complaint. Get over it guys its just a penis you see one everyday... Anyway... A MUST SEE for action junkies but leave the kids at home...its no Batman
