Review of Watchmen (2001) by Waleed A — 11 May 2017

Good movie. very different from typical superhero movies. I hated this when I first watched it in theaters, partially because I thought it was going to be an action movie which it is absolutely not, and partially because it's for more advanced viewers. there is a lot of good in this movie. so many cool-looking scenes and beautiful shots. aesthetically pleasing as usual from zack snyder. but it was long and requires patience. and it's lacking in some areas. some of the casting was way off. I didn't like the girl or night owl. rorshak or however you spell it was awesome, and dr. manhattan was intriguing. (2 viewings).

SPOILERS.

All the stuff that happened at the end was cool, dr manhattan killing his friend after siding with the villain and how that all played out. and also the very end which shows that rorschach is going to get the truth out, which may lead to the end of the peace and the restarting of nuclear escalation.
