It's about time!

Rating: 8/10 (12 March 2009)

This decade had a bunch of movies with lots of visuals and little substance. The past year and a half( beginning holiday 07)is trying to erase that. The legend is true: DC comics has the strong stories. I'm a Marvel and Image fan, but I know good stuff when I see it and The Watchmen is good! The only gripe about the film is all the naked male ass, glowing or otherwise. Dudes where's the glowing pants, glowing clover leaf? Cover that stuff up! I'm glad I was a little buzz because the film looked like one of those flick that required you to be on a little something. I think for every side shot or any shot showing the female sacred behind and hips(the shots were done with taste), more time was giving to the male narrowness(The shot were raw, no chaser, in your face, wtf, 20 seconds seemed forever). Even in my altered state I had to cover my face. Okay, enough joking about the contradiction or double whatever, see it at IMAX at your own risk ha.
This movie will probably be in the Fine arts cinema in another decade like Blade Runner. Yep it's a classic. I don't see where a sequel can manifest from this one unless there's a whole new set of stories and characters. This is the first real super hero drama/soap opera in my eyes. Definitely an NC-17 film crammed into a massive R rating and that's a compliment. I thought The Dark Knight should have been an R, but that's how strong these stories appear to me. One can forget the characters are super heroes. You know they got something extra, but their situations are more than their powers. It's a goody with some strong subjects and visuals. Viewer Discretion! Enjoy the show!
