Watchmen is easily the worst comic book movie ever made!

Rating: 1/10 (25 February 2009)

Watchmen, directed by the second rate director, Zack Snyder is easily the year's worst movie so far!
I found the movie to be a too long, too pointless with no point at all.
Plus the movie covers every event in a four decade span of the 20th Century especially since this is an alternate comic book universe with Richard Nixon serving his fifth term as president.
It literally suggests that superheroes (Dr.Manhattan in particular) helped the United States win every single conflict in the last several decades making us the biggest superpower in the world.
From the events of World War II to the Korean War to the Vietnam War to the close of the Cold War, all with nuclear war on the minds of the audience.
My girlfriend absolutely was confused and didn't understand all the graphic violence (especially a murdered girl who is fed to two dogs and one of those dogs literally having it's head cut with a meat cleaver, as well as an ax shoved into the head of a child molester repeatedly) and waited for me in the lobby for an hour and a half.
This film did feel rather outdated with it's nuclear armament warnings.
Not to mention in this recession people are REALLY holding on to their wallets.
Women will HATE it. (At least today's chicks)
Pluses: Rorschach is the best character in the film. PERIOD.
Dr. Manhattan needs some underwear. (Is this a comic book movie or animated pornography?)
Nite Owl 2, (cracks me up with his erectile dysfuctionality)
Comedian rocks the house, but is killed at the beginning. However his actions are highly questionable and repulsive.
Dr. Voidt/Oxymandias is the worst character in the film, both literally and figuratively. Who cares if he thinks he's the smartest man in the world? (Needs a better actor)
I laughed out loud at the sex scene with Silk Spectre and Nite Owl in his flying submarine, as did the audience and her constant living up to her mother speeches. (Needed another actress with better delivery)
The cinematography looks terrific, if you must, see this on an IMAX screen!
LOVE the soundtrack though.
300 is the better movie overall.
Overall, Watchmen is the worst movie of the year so far!
