Watchmen should be called "Watch-a glittering work of art"

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2010)

Wow! That's pretty much the only word I had in mind after walking out from the theaters with my friends. If I were to define that exact thought of mine and explain it a bit better I would say that this film delivers a beautiful work of cinematography and imagination following many small artful details behind almost every scene.
Zack Snyder uses the slow-motion beautifully and smoothly and although some people fault him for using it to much, I disagree...I love it!
Now I know that most of the angles were taken directly from the comic-book (which I haven't read by the way) and I don't know exactly which of the scenes they were, but I don't care...It was shot with pure perfection...Never would I dream of having Zack Snyder changing the way he directed or especially that cinematographer's vision. They did the job flawlessly.
The animation was gracefully charming and the thing about this movie is that I enjoyed almost every scene that I saw, because it was so masterfully shot and animated in the most charming, beautiful way.
The actors are good, but Jackie Earle Haley stood out as the best in my opinion and Rorschach was the character I rooted most for.
What kept me from giving this movie a perfect nine is the fact that it is a bit too long. I think they could have cut something out.. But Whatever! It was a good movie and I'm proud to say that I've got it on DVD :)
