The Watchmen...Shocked and appalled...
The most seemingly anticipated movie of the year released last night March 6, 2009. The Watchmen, directed by Zack Snyder and inspired by the legendary cult classic graphic novel. A movie surrounded by an absolutely enormous hype in the works of nearly 20 years. The hyper began with a trailer that premiered in middle 2008, got fanboys and movie lovers round the world shaking in their seats with anticipation. Questions rounding from, can it live up to the novel? Could it be as good as the trailer? Could Snyder produce another masterpiece to contend with 300? Or will this movie just bomb....?
Well ladies and gentleman, I'm here today to tell you that The Watchmen was a 3 hour long story following the tight script trying to keep truthful to a worshiped Comic book. A story of vigilante masked heroes "defending the world", being targeted by an unknown source. The film begins full forced, and quickly dies down into a mellow drama of love, idiots, and a devilishly awesome character named Rorshack. It's a shame this movie quickly turned into an overdrawn light action dull super hero movie. It has failed me a comic book lover, and i predict millions of more fans round the nation. The movie was surrounded by too much hype and couldn't possibley live up to it's rage. So ladies and gentleman, i tell you, Watchmen is no where as good as it could of been. Just wait, and stop giving them money by buying theater tickets. RENT IT, when it's released to DVD. And make sure you have three hours to kill of utter dissapointment before viewing this movie. *sigh*
