Watchmen (Movie)

Where 35 minutes makes a pretty big difference.

The death of an ex-masked hero prompts one of the few remaining active vigilantes to investigate - culminating in an insidious plot to save the world... from themselves.

They've got some pretty cool outfits too.

With a good sound track and epic and violent slow motion fight scenes, this is sure to please any action buff while the plot itself is a refreshing change from the more standard superhero railroad. Not giving anything else away here for those who might have not yet experienced it.

I would happily rewatch this again and give it 4 comedians out of 5. Also, I recommend this film over the recent series of the same name as this is far superior.

  1. It should also be mentioned that the movie follows the original comic almost verbatim, so if you know the comic you know the movie.

    1. Good point Redbeard! Kinda glad they stuck to it though. Some movies and shows go off on strange tangents just so that they are "different". This isn't always a bad thing, but a lot of times it seems to be. :P

  2. I liked the movie well enough that I saw it more than once in the theater. Since I don't go to the theater much anyway, for me to be willing to go see something twice is really something.... I think this was the last movie I did that for.

    1. Nice! I think my last double theater movie was a Batman one but it's been so long I can't even remember.

      Heck with Covid about no one's been to movies for a long time. :(
