Film Review: Watchmen
Watchmen: It's been reviewed a million times already so i'll keep it sweet. If you know nothing about this film it doesn't really matter; go into it knowing that it is not a superhero film but rather a mystery and you'll be fine. If you are aware of the Watchmen world then know that the could never keep everything true and that we should be thankful for small miracles that Hollywood didn't completely destroy its legacy. I enjoyed it though a few bits and pieces didn't ring true. Jackie Earle Haley & Jeffrey Dean Morgan are fuckin great - but then again only a moron could've fucked up such great roles. This film doesn't fall into the superhero category which will no doubt annoy the movie-goers who are expecting such a film and will disappoint the hardcore fans who will have wanted more. In between them both there is a subsect of viewers who are content that while this film could've been a lot better -it could've been a hell of a lot fucking worse too. Go see it knowing what to expect. Enjoyable if you are aware of it. 3/5
