Depressing and utterly pointless

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 2012)

Why, oh why didn't I pay attention to the negative reviews for this movie? I thought that the overall score for this film would be an indicator of it's worth... but I was wrong. Let's just run through the basic problems with this film.
1. Utterly depressing. 2. Completely pointless 3. Pointlessly and sickeningly violent 4. Poor acting 5. Completely shallow characters 6. No one is likable. In fact the majority of the "superhero" characters are utterly vile and detestable serial killer types. One of them shoots a pregnant woman at point blank range! 7. There is practically no story line whatsoever. 8. It takes vile aspects of life and strings them together into a dull and depressing stream of events that don't relate to each other.
This is not a hero film, it is a film about negativity and fear. Do not expect this to be something like Dark Knight, Sin City or The Matrix. Those are films known for their dark nature but they are also quality films with a message and style that is unique and appealing. The Watchmen has none of this at all. It is devoid of meaning or value.
I would imagine that people with deep mental health problems may get some kind of sick pleasure from this film. Maybe someone who likes illegal films like snuff movies would like this.
There is no point to this film and it will leave you completely and utterly empty and possibly even suicidal. There is practically no storyline whatsoever; it is just a string of increasingly more depressing and pointless events designed to make you feel sick and miserable.
If you find this film entertaining then please admit yourself to a mental hospital and preferably stay there. I have always completely disagreed with capital punishment but I would possibly make an exception for the creators and producers of this film. The human race would most likely benefit from them being put down.
If you really insist on watching the film then it may help if you put it on double speed or thereabouts. It will make it a little less dull.
