Truly Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (11 November 2009)

In my opinion, this was the biggest, most hyped movie of the summer of 2009 and was also the most disappointing. If you have seen some other of my reviews, you would know that I love superhero movies. And the fact that this was going to be more gritty and aimed at older viewers got me excited for something different from "Iron Man" or "Spider-Man". However, sadly this movie failed on almost every level.
First, the characters are unlikable and poorly developed. They are not "dark" in a cool way, but instead "dark" in a "I don't really want to watch these losers and scum bags" kind of way.
The plot is all over the place and the director seemed to care more about making sure Dr. Manhattan's penis is featured rather than any emotion and passion from the characters.
Throughout the movie I was just waiting for it to get over so I could do something else. If you're in the mood for a superhero you can pick almost any other one and it will be superior to this poor attempt.
