The Legend That Don't Need Justifications

Rating: 3/10 (25 March 2009)

I want to open this comment with this personal quote: "The Dark Knight has broken my comfort, my definition of Hollywood, my consideration about the blockbusters"... but i heard (march, 2008): "The most awarded graphic novel adaptation to the big screen is in post production... " I'm confused, there is a 'most awarded graphic novel'? Yes, there is. The masterpiece was called "Watchmen", for first time in my life i have the resources and the enthusiasm to discover the inspiration, the seed of a big budget screenplay. I BUY ALL the numbers of the series -from a friend in economic difficulties, ha- and read, read, feeling all that situations, living that world in those stretch suits, WATCHING the predicted Armageddon. In all the forms that can one WATCH, not only read, WATCH. There is when my general appreciation ends -saying so much- and begins my valoration of this film. If my vote accomplished 3 stars is only for the (arguedly) respect of the original treatment (a few fulfilled characters, overall drama), but there is a particularly ridiculous management of the casting, customs and direction. The characters are condemned to a flamboyant apparency into a most bizarre society. I can't put in words the other odd feelings of that almost twisted visit to the cinema. A big, a God Damn Biggie, detail is the Soundtrack. Jesus, in my whole life i was exposed to a similar destruction of climax. ALL the songs, instead they're separated masterpieces, were put in the worst place. Of course the author have a minimum reason to that selection, but wasn't the best.
