Astonishing movie

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 2009)

Watchmen, one of the best graphic novels finally came to the movies pleasing all its fans around the globe. It is a frenetic, mind blowing film full of action, adventure, suspense and some nice black humor. Directed by Zack Snyder, the also director of 300 made a very good job with the adaptation along with writers David Hayter and Alex Tse. The movie is long, maybe I would cut some unnecessary parts and at the beginning it has a slow rhythm but the second part runs a little more fluid. The soundtrack is excellent, each song selected to in every scene fits to the perfection. Another thing that was quite good and interesting was the references made of people or some event of each decade shown in the movie for example Ozymandias outside the Studio 54 with a person supposed to be David Bowie. The special effects are so stunning you'll get with you mouth wide open. The cast is very good, each actor delivers and outstanding performance specially Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian and Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach. In conclusion, Watchmen is so astonishing that it can be consider one of the best movie of the year.
