Don't watch the Watchmen. Awful film...

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2009)

I have never actually felt compelled to write on IMDb before...and now I have stopped laughing I thought I should. How on earth this film has an 8.2 rating I have no idea! For the plot? Well I'd read that it would have been more suited to a mini-series. Personally I doubt the plot could sustain interest in a 30 minute TV slot. Maybe for a 3 minute ad-break...and it probably still make as much sense and have less flaws. For the acting? No, no-one besides Rorschash should have a job outside of an afternoon soap. For the character development? what character development? For the naked blue man? Can anyone explain why he actually wore pants to fight/win the Vietnam War but at no other time? Maybe the army insisted on it. For the sex scene? The puppet sex scene in Team America:World Police is more believable. And the version of Hallelujah playing made it even more laughable. At this point I actually wondered if it was made intentionally funny by the director. Well, he might have realised how badly the shoot was going... The fight scenes probably filled only about 15 minutes of the excruciating 2hrs 45. There is a lot of gratuitous violence but the film was so dull, even this lost its impact. Awful film.
