The Best Movie Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2009)

By seeing the title you might believe that I tend to over exxagerate. But I have only said that the movie I have seen is the best ever twice. After The Dark Knight, and after Watchmen. Pre release hype had been very big for the movie, and it lived up to it. It was gripping, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. For something that was meant to be unfilmable Zack Snyder has done a pretty good job. The ending is also completely caught me off guard. It wasn't what you would expect to happen. I think this is also a rare movie that it's too good to be fully appreciated by critcs. I knew some fans would hate it because thats the territory that comes with an Alan Moore adaptation, but critics? Its such a good film. And it doesn't seem as long as it is. When I was watching Benjamin Button, I was aware that I had been in the cinema for a very long time. But this movie went by so quickly, and it's longer. It was like it took me away from the cinema. I think the main problem critics have is a blockbuster movie that cost over $100m actually delivers intelligence and makes you think (when has the theory of time been mentioned in a film that cost that much money before). To sum up, a movie that is intelligent, looks incredible, has great action sequences and justifies such a long length needs to be watched. I would recommend that everyone watches Watchmen.
