Like the other said, "As good as it gets"!

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2012)

During every year, Hollywood makes dozens of movies which in most cases are, well, how can I put this... disgusting.
I'm glad to announce, Watchmen didn't make that list. For the grand audience and judging for the discussions i had with some friends, watchmen was either too long or with too many special effects.
It disappoints me that most of people doesn't see beyond that. Watchmen is so much more than special effects and utopic characters. Watchmen is a painting of an era, an almost perfect demonstration of a way of thinking. It doesn't just illustrates a comic book, it also represents a generation.
And that is proved in so many ways. From the music background, where there's the impressive scene following the comedian's death where there are shown a series of events of American history, with the iconic Bob Dylan playing in the background, to an illustration of USA's government mentality during the cold war, passing through the street's of Manhattan, represented in a scene where a boy sits beside a street magazine shop, just reading a comic book like there's nothing around him.
I got to say it was disappointing for me to see a rating of only 7.6 when this film deserves at least an 8. It's one of the most enjoyable movies i've watched in a long time, and besides the almost 3 hours i spent watching it, i gladly assume i wouldn't have spent them doing anything else.
