An good example of what is an amazing movie

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2017)

Zack Snyder gave the world something Dr. Manhattan would deem a miracle: a superb comic-book based film.
Written In 1985 by the experienced author Alan Moore, the graphic novel Watchmen was critical in setting the high standart for the comics we see today, iniciating the current modern age of comics. Therefore it must have proved rather difficult for Mr. Snyder to make a dedicated movie able to live up to it's standarts. In my opinion, it did.
From the awe inducing scenes to its stunning use of music and sound, Watchman is able to take the viewer through the consistent and yet surprising motivations of its characters. The movie's plot is centered around two generations of super heroes and the choices they make after a mandatory retirement. A full 180° range of motivations are present, from the imense blind disgust Rorsharch feels towards injustice to Dr. Manhattans almost complete indeference towards Humankind.
The story flows through the movie with elegance, with frequent flashbacks and references to keep sharp the viewers attention, as does the grim and thought provocking atmosphere that keeps us on our toes. Folks with an interest on politics will likewise enjoy the movies take on 20th century American government policies.
Although the acting was only average, the attention to the smallest of details in every scene, the great use of colour and lighting and the extremely well positioned shots gives the viewer a full immersion through the otherwise tedious two hours and forty two minutes. I do have to congratulate one actor though, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who distinguished himself while portraying his role as the Comedian.
Overall, I think Zach Snyder did an excellent job, as did most of the crew involved in the project. I consider this movie very well edited and directed, and although the acting isn't anything special, the dialog is wonderful, the scenes are breathtaking and plot flourishes throughout the 2h and 42m. I rate this movie 9/10.
