We are watching the Watchmen and all of the agents.......

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2009)

OK, yes I loved the twelve issue comic series/graphic novel and blah blah. The movie itself is great. Is it the same as the graphic novel? No, but very close in most of the ways that counts. Some aspects were left out, some were sort of meshed together and some were new. You would expect this from a movie adaptation but you will be surprised to how well these things don't matter and how few there are. The basic concept is there and the actors bring it to life.
If you are a fan of Spider-man, X-men, and so forth, this is not the same type of movie that they are. This one is more akin to V for Vendetta (thanks again Mr. Moore) with even stronger concepts and wide angles. I would not avoid this movie if you like those types of movies, just know that it is a different story that just so happens to have men and women that dress up in it.
Like the 12 issues original series, this movie has everything going on in it and if you are a fan of the work then it is a must see.
My father watched it and did not know anything about the watchmen and he enjoyed it as well.
