Watch Watchmen For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Take everything we know about superheroes and set it aside. This is NO Batman or Superman, yet an all together different albeit distinct superhero film based off comic strip from 86-87 by Alan Moore. Utilizing an alternative timeline and applying multiverse theory, the story exists in a nearly identical, but separate America, whilst slightly mimicking both historically significant time periods.The film has an absolute fitting cast: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, and Patrick Wilson. Carla Gugino makes an absolute dynamic impact with her beauty and skills in martial arts in the fight scenes. The film comes across with a unique, yet dark look and take into the superhero universe.There are several sub-plots involved in this film, many which get passed by, but the strength of the Cold War, nuclear destruction and what humanity must do to prevent it comes across very strong and very relevant. The characters are strong and the audience will get invested in them, the SPX are decent, not to over the top. I thought the music score sat perfectly with the development of the story. I give this film a solid 8 as it is entertaining, action filled and has drive of character development. Good film, a must see.

The show has it's absolute pro's, such as some characters, like Roschack, Dr. Manhattan, The Nightguy. The setting is pretty good too. There are a lot of good things, hard to grasp, but it's there. The politics, the grim, the power, all of them fits pretty well. Than there is the philosophy.. and the story.I also feel, that some things are just.. bad, out of place. Especially the philosophy. The thoughts, the ideas, which the movie is trying to imagine or screen are just bad. Sometimes childish. It feels forced, it feels long. Most of them could be summed up easily, and answered in the same way. It falls flat on the face. It was so hard to watch through all the scenes and explanations that were put together like some childlike idea, which than was kept being pulled longer and longer.The story... well.. Not the best. The start and lead up was good. An afterworld of the hero era with some remainders and political influence. Not realistic political influence or put together. More like a wash up. But okay.Than came the mid part and the end. The animation was good, but out of place and explaining way too much. I was happy to see it, but absolutely unnecessary in this form. The whole Adrian thing is just bad at best. The whole Dr. Manhattan as the "uniting enemy" is just stupid. It's.. faulty at every stage. To put such a scrapped together ending to such a long and mixed together movie.. well.. a bit disappointing.So I would say the first hour is exciting, interesting, than downhill from then. I didn't like how there are gangs with Roschack around. It makes no sense. He is like a sociopath Batman. How are they even alive? How he died was emotionally touching. I'm not sure if.. it was sound. But I really liked his character and the actor did a great job, his death was emotional. I would say he was the max of the story.

An interesting sort of a "through a glass darkly" look on the cold war! An amazing adaptation of the graphic novel, but no wonder screenplay is by Solid Snake himself(David Hayter). If the ending was left as it was in the book, this would have been PERFECT! Jackie Earle Haley is amazing as Rorschach, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan isn't far behind as the Comedian! The rest of the cast does a good job as well. The soundtrack is AMAZING! And the best opening credits sequence ever for sure! Seriously just check out the opening sequence if nothing else..

I was so excited for this movie because I love the books and comics and everything surrounding it. In some ways it really dissapoints. And I think if youre really interested by the chracters, read the book.
