I had high expectations for this movie, for the most part met. It looked cool, great effects, a certain sense of plausability, adult oriented...just long. A good 45 minutes could have been taken out. I give it 3.50 out of 5.00
My wife said: She wanted to see more erect shots of Mr. Manhattan. Lol. I did not think there was enough nudity. And the sex was quite tame. Would have like more eroticism (not pornography) in sex scenes.This film has NO porno.
The movie did what it's suppose too!!! They are letting you know that there will be a NUKE strike in American this summer!!! Duh!!! Wake UP!
Even better the second time around. Really noticed the subtle details.
I think the majority who rated this movie 5 stars were paid to do it!!! It is terrible. Don't waste your time (3hrs) or money.
pay attention it's worth it
I want those 3 hours of my life back.
Let’s be clear – this is a thinking person’s movie; the dimwitted need not attend, as they will not enjoy this movie, nor be able to fully comprehend it. Watchmen delivers an outstanding presentation of action, drama, special effects and story. It is a spectacular film that centers on humanity and the human condition; the storyline has simply been presented in a ‘hero’ genre, and this draws a thrill-seeking audience with different expectations. Enjoy this movie like you would an adventure trip – the journey is more important than the destination; it will not disappoint!
Excellent ending twist!
If you loved THE SPIRIT you'll like this too.
