Dark tones and adult content and superheros do we need anything else?

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2016)

Yet another entry in the comic book movie genres Watchmen is probably one of the most faithful adaptations that has come out in regards to it's source material. You can literally see the pages of the comic come out on the screen in glorious scenes of political drama, super-powered fist fights and dark, gloomy tones that are accurate to the graphic novel. Watchmen takes place in alternate reality where superheros are outlawed and are forced to hang up their capes or work on project with the government. It shows what would have happened if the Cold War had reached a climax and we were forced to see the worst possible outcome of that era. Watchmen brings forward interesting characters and an interesting premise to make one of the better non DC or Marvel comic book movies and definitely one of the longest. Watchmen allows for dark tones and adult scenes that we don't always get to see in superhero movie due to the kids in the audience. Watchmen has an R rating and definitely deserves it.
