Not my type of movie...

Rating: 4/10 (25 September 2009)

Hearing about Watchmen I was very intrigued with the idea and the characters and scenery looked very good from what I saw in the trailer so I definitely was excited to check this one out. Being directed by Zack Snyder who I am a big fan of I had high expectations for this movie. But sadly I was left unsatisfied and drained.
The best way I would describe this movie is like riding King-Da-Ka at six flags; at the very beginning you get all this adrenaline built up in you and just like that all the excitement is over. I think the weakness of this movie was probably all the different characters and how it tried to follow all the back stories of each character and in doing so made this movie boring to me. I know this movie is based on a famous graphic novel(which i have never read) so I did not know what to expect. The movie was 2 hours and 40 minutes and was probably the longest I've ever felt watching a movie in a long time. It honestly bored me to death and I didn't find the plot, characters, or many other sequences very interesting. This is just one person's opinion but like I always say, the only way to know if a movie is good or bad, go watch it yourself.
