This is a different kind of movie on heroes. Whenever think about heroes and their powers, all I could have in my mind is saving the earth, defeating villains, winning peace and love. But for Watchmen, everything is disrupted and blurred. It's apocalyptic and tragic on the one hand, and very human or even subhuman on the other. Heroes who are supposed to help people are not able to do it due to their individual reasons. The world is getting dark and desperate, and heroes are getting to lose powers.
Watchmen is very huge and enormous, because it deals with many prominent events in human history. It is even philosophical, and makes people think about human beings themselves.
The best character for me is Rorschach. I don't know exactly why, but I am just attracted to him. I guess it is because he is only right one in this movie, although he is considered freak and weirdo all the time. What he says and shows in his journal always impresses me a lot. Rorschach is my all time favorite hero ever. Also, I really like Jackie Earle Haley's performance. He is a great actor. His voice and every step he makes were Rorschach itself.
After watching the movie Watchmen, I read the original graphic novel. I think both movie and novel are great. It could have been so hard to carry the huge graphic novel into the movie genre, but it is nicely done.
