The best comic book movie I have seen.

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2014)

Before I start: I have seen the director's cut version, so I can only talk about that.
I was always curious about this Zack Snyder film, but somehow I did not watch "Watchmen" (haha) until now. The tone of this masterpiece is like a mixture of Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" and "Sin City". The plot is pretty complex and diversified but not that hard to follow. The character development is very good, the directing is great (good job Mr.Snyder). The symbolic meanings are understandable for everyone (at least I think...). In my opinion this is one of those movies where the casting is perfect. Especially Jackie Earle Haley is marvelous as Rorschach but I could not imagine any other actor than Jeffrey Dean Morgan for the role of the Comedian either. Also I have to mention the soundtrack, which is also excellent. It is a really unique film with a message everybody should think about.
It is really hard to preoccupy the viewer for 3 and a half hours, and sometimes there are not so exciting scenes in this film too, but no that much, and even those scenes are worth watching because of the directing and the tone.
All in all, I think that this is one of the most underrated movies ever, and I really did not think that there could be a better comic book adaptation than "The Dark Knight". But I was wrong.
