Mediocre at best

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2009)

I went into this movie hearing a lot of hype, so maybe that is why I rated it a 5/10, but I was not very impressed. Firstly, you should know that this movie should not be compared to other super hero movies because it is much different, but also, it is not as good as the Dark Knight, Spiderman, etc...
It is a different blend of movie, a combination not tried often, and though some may argue that it was pulled off successfully, there were still many flaws in the movie.
Because it was adapted from a graphic novel, too much plot is crammed into a slightly less than 3 hour movie. However, even if the movie was split in two distinct movies, there still are so many emotions to the point that Watchmen feels over dramatized.
If you like violence, go see it, if you aren't a huge action fan, wait until it comes out on DVD
