DC Does It Again

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2009)

With this dramatic foray into the grand graphic novel of the same name, DC has done it again.
Unlike Marvel, which spews out watered down drivel for the kiddie-crowd, DC remains true to its adult, comic book reading audience. Following in the footsteps of "The Dark Knight", the story is solid and is inhabited with multi-faceted characters.
"Watchmen" has it all: drama, suspense, science-fiction, romance, fantasy, and just about everything else.
Most importantly, don't think of this as "just a comic book movie". Like "The Dark Knight" it's far from it. And bear in mind that the average comic book reader is over 24 years old. Although escapists abound, desiring fantasy fare of clear cut good and evil tales, "Watchmen" takes this to a whole other level.
So, if you're sick of the sugary sweetness that is the watermark of Marvel, and if you want something far more appreciative of your adult brain, watch the "Watchmen".
