Watchmen

Director's Cut - Over 24 Minutes Longer Than the Version Shown in Theatres!

From the Visionary Director of "300"

A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight.

When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?

Definately worth a watch! - MFisher

When I watched this movie, I really had no idea what to expect since I hadn't read the graphic novel. The movie blew me out of the water! It was quite good, the cinematography was great and the concept very neat! After watching the movie I went out and bought the graphic novel and I loved it! The ending was different but I actually prefer the ending in the movie!

1986. That's how long this project has been in development. And anyone who has read the magnificent original graphic novel can understand why. Watchmen's complex storyline and involved character development rest on an alternate future where Nixon did not resign, America won the Vietnam War thanks to average citizens who donned masks to become superheroes and the Cold War continued unabated, is no easy nut to crack. Even Watchmen author, the enigmatic Alan Moore, declined the invitation to give it go. So bully on director Zack Snyder for pulling it off. Watchmen is filmed in a fashion similar to Snyder's 300 and is a stunning visceral experience to its core. Odd, engaging, thought-provoking and mesmerising, Watchmen is a tour de force film decidedly not for kids. To paraphrase Moore's line: "Who watches the Watchmen?" ... we do ... and love it!

In a word, brilliant, and worthy of my rating of 10 out of 10.

Watchmen - RogerDaniels

Zack Snyder’s "Watchmen" is a terrific adaptation of a literary masterpiece. It’s a thoughtful, artistically stimulating film in its own right, that captures the atmosphere, look, and heart of the novel as well as any celluloid production could ever hope to. It is clearly not the novel, lacking much of the impact and meticulous detail that was so beautifully displayed in Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ masterstroke. However, it is a wonderful film, taking the cinematic aspects of the novel and molding it into a beautiful film that gloriously evokes Moore’s spirit. It is such a pity then, that Moore denounced the film, considering, in all likelihood, this will be the most faithful adaptation of his work ever produced. Regardless of Moore’s thoughts, it’s a triumph of a film, with some wonderful acting, top-notch production values and some haunting moral implications. Patrick Wilson and Jeffery Dean Morgan were pitch-perfect as Nite Owl and The Comedian respectively. Jackie Earle Haley’s Rorschach is a haunted, gloriously flawed hero as great as any the cinema has seen in past years and Billy Crudup’s Dr. Manhattan is mythic and distantly human. Both these actors took great literary characters and sculpted them into living flesh and blood; when the audience leaves the theatre, these will be the actors they talk about. Complain all you like about how you didn’t care for some of the musical choices, or how Carla Gugino’s Silk Spectre was irksome; these are but minor imperfections upon a glorious canvas. Perhaps it would be difficult to understand if one is not already familiar with the novel, but for those already initiated, "Watchmen" is a powerful film, one sure for years to come.
