A new perspective of vigilantes

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2009)

If you got tired of movies in which only special effects are the attractive, Watchmen is a suitable option. The film reflects that we can never entirely leave our past behind, because sooner or later we'll have to meet again with it. The main characters are very realistic, because they don't fight crime because it's their responsibility or for defending justice, they do it because they're as twisted as the enemies they fight, or because they have serious self esteem issues, so they feel better killing and fighting, even torturing. The heroes are the villains at the same time. Particularly, Rorschach is the best character. He is a psycho-vigilante that won't be tolerant with the scum that surrounds him, so he behaves extremely violent with it because he knows the society is doomed. As a plus, the violent fight scenes are greatly filmed, just like in 300. It will probably be one of the best films of 2009.
