A must see!

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2009)

After months, months, and months of anticipation, last night i was fortunate to attend "Watchmen" with my girlfriend @ Edwards Cinema in San Marcos, CA. We both have not read the graphic novel nor knew much about it, if any.I was not sure what to expect as i walked into the theater although my expectations were very high i felt that i could be greatly disappointed.
From what i discovered so far is that the movie replicates the book with almost every scene and sequence.
Zack Snyder who you may know as the director of "300" did an amazing job once again with the "Watchmen".
He has an amazing eye for visual details, as well as adapting this movie to the novel. Die hard fans of the book may disagree. I..ll tell them HEY! This is a movie not a novel! Not everything will be perfect, in my opinion.
The Movie starts out with The Comedian being murdered, Which is an exciting action packed scene and does its job of setting the tone of the film and gets you ready for the next 2 1/2 hours. Then there's a long clip of clips showing the Superheroes of the past and how times are changing and lets newcomers (like me) pick up on the story. Then the movie actually starts. There is a lot to digest and the visuals are incredible. I advise you not to get distracted from the big picture. The complex story leads to the interaction of the unique characters as the main focal point to understanding the film.
All the suites are very well created with just the right effect. Dr. Manhatting could not look any better. As for the actors, i should say that they were all GREAT! The washed up burn out "Rorschach" was probably one of my favorite characters. He definitely carried the film for a while not to mention how entertaining he was to listen to.This film balanced action and the storyline very well. Plenty of nudity, gore, and violence.
The Silk Spectre II (Malin Akerman) did a superb job with her role and i believe many people will find it easy to feel the adoration with her character.
All in all "Watchmen" took a dark, deep, and complex view into the superhero world. It is no ordinary superhero movie. It takes your brain on a roller-coaster and leaves you wanting more. There is no doubt that this film was everything i was hoping for and will be a success. There were a couple of things i would have changed in the last 5 minutes and i do wish i saw it in IMAX. However, i do not want to take you away from the overall quality of this film. So i will leave it at that.
I give the "Watchmen" a 9 out of 10.
