overload and bad sci-fi

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2014)

This is one of those movies that I feel I must see, because it had such high score in IMDb: 7.6, but that only made my disappointment worse, I would give it a 4 if it was not for the nice special effects and high quality images. The store doesn't make sense, and maybe it already didn't in the original book versions, but here it because really too obvious and thus disturbing. I call that bad sci-fi, but it's not only a "disease" of sci-fi it's just one of bad fantasy stories. The climax of this "disease" is at the end where Ozymandias "saves the world" but that means "Dr Manhatten has to be banished from earth" so that the US and USSR can have common enemy and thus not fight an apocalyptic nuclear war. The story is full of such moments where you think "but if he has such powers, then why doesn't he do this or that..."; or "yeah sure, if that were true then..."; ...
I tended to appreciate the naturalistic way of showing the different personalities, but also here they don't make sense... all together there's no logic in it.
And finally, I think there's probably too much content that the director tried to put into one movie. Even he made it a long movie it still is overloaded with content (why was it so necessary to tell the whole love- story of Dr Manhattan and so...?). I feel I've wasted 162 min of my valuable weekend. The only thing it taught me is about some comic characters that I had only heard of before, like Rorschach for ex.
Unless you are a comic fanatic with lots of free time, then I don't advice you to waste your time watching this movie. Point.
