Bizarre Extaordinary Thought Provoking Entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2009)

Watchmen isn't for everyone. During my viewing, a handful of theatergoers walked out during different parts of the film. Watchmen is filled with different kind of scenes and some may be too intense for some viewers. There are several scenes with the Twin Towers in the background. Don't worry, nothing happens to them. They're just part of the scenery, but can bring back some bad memories. The film is filled with social commentary and alternate realities that can be uncomfortable and some violence that may be too much. However, none of these is gratuitous and nowhere close to the violence like movies like Friday the 13th or Saw. It is a serious but entertaining "superhero" movie and far above a Spiderman or an X-Men film...even above The Dark Knight.
