Wow! As epic as they come.

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2009)

This is my first time writing an IMDb review but after seeing Watchmen I thought it was important to tell people how brilliant this film actually is. It is breathtaking and I have to say a masterpiece. Maybe I'm reading too much into what I saw because I have not read the graphic novel myself. But honest to God I don't know what more any of you fanboys could possibly want. I have not (since Lord of the Rings) seen a director pay such painstaking detail and attention to a movie. The music was cleverly chosen and the characters were all brilliant. Jackie Earle Haley was superb as the tormented Rorschach as was Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian. Billy Crudup's Dr Manhattan added a still peacefulness to the film and was able to inspire the awe of a god. I did not find it confusing but compelling and challenging. Moviegoers are too lazy today. I have watched many a flick were the plot is recapped over and over again. Its insulting to the intelligence of the audience and I'm glad Hayter and Tse stirred clear away from that.
I truly recommend this. It is a fantastic experience!
