The watchmen was based on the Dc comics graphic novel. It hs been called the greatest grphic novel of all time. Now I didnt read that instead I watched the movie. I heard it was terrible so I watched just to say I have and I of course liked it. I would give it four stars, it was well produced and the story was good. The story had very real aspects to it and the hereos had rough morals that seemed to help deliver the story. When being a superhereo became illegal they stopped except Rorshack who believe it was his job to clean the streets. Then they came out of retirement to stop another ex-hero from ending the world, all while breaking Rorshack out of prizon. I dont want to ruin it for those who havent seen yet but you need to go see it. However most people I talk to say they dont like it. I suppose it was a little much, theres some nudity and it could offend some people.
It had strong morals about how humans are wrong and we ruin things and power is corruption. Also how noone can realy save them from themselves. I felt it was a strong point, my cousin said he didnt like it. The message was dumb he didnt want it to be so real. It was strong but just strong enough to make you think about it.
My favorite character by far was Rorshack he was all around strong. First off his voice is perfect for the character, he fit the story how he was supposed to. He was played by Jackie Earle Haley or as some know him as Dukes from Semi Pro, or Freddie Kruger of 2010 in Nightmare on Elm St. ANother Character was Night Owl who dressed as an owl played by Patrick Wilson from Lakeview Terrace. Either you loved or you hated him, I personally disliked him I wont ruin the story but he does things that are just not cool. The other that I happened to like was Dr.Manhattan played by Billy Crudup or J Edgar Hoover in Public Enemies. He was the blue guy that controlled time and space. It was a substantial acting job he had zero emotions and was an apethetic genius who didnt care yet he soundded depressed. All the other parts were good acting all and I would say go see it.
