The reunited heroes set out to prevent their own destruction, but in doing so discover a deeper and far more diabolical plot.
A group of heroes, forced into retirement a decade before are called together once again to investigate the murder of one of their own. What they discover is an age-old conspiracy to change the balance of power in a world not different from our own.
I was going to write a full-blown review about how intelligent this film is. I was going to rave about its glorious visual aesthetics, its existential themes, and its cogent questioning of human nature. But I think the following quote will suffice.<br/><br/>SCENE: Imagine the stark, but magnificent, surface of Mars, with its red mountains and canyons that dwarf by far any mountains and canyons on Earth. A young woman pleads pleads to her former superhuman lover to return to Earth and save humankind.<br/><br/>LAURIE: Jon, please, you have to stop this. Or everyone will die.<br/><br/>JON: And the Universe will not even notice. In my opinion, the existence of life is a highly overrated phenomenon. Just look around you. Mars gets along perfectly well without so mucha microorganism. Here it's a constantly changing topographical map, flowing and shifting around the pole in ripples 10,000 years wide. So tell me, how would all of this be greatly improved by an oil pipeline? By a shopping mall?
This is one of the worst movies I have seen in a very long time. I am a huge fan of comic books and comic book movies; however, I haven't read Watchmen, but now I have even less desire to do so.<br/><br/>Watchmen was extremely boring. I wanted to leave the theatre several times and walk around, or maybe stare at a wall, because that would have been way more interesting than watching this disaster of a movie. I didn't care about any of the characters–I could not relate to them on a human level. The sequence of events was confusing too, and I must have rolled my eyes about 20 times, because some of the scenes were just so ridiculous.<br/><br/>I really don't see how it's possible that this movie has such a high rating. Just because this movie remained very faithful to the comic does not make it a good film. Changes are essential to make a good comic book movie, like Spider-Man, X-Men, and Iron Man–all excellent films.<br/><br/>I feel like all the hardcore geeks out don't want to admit how bad this movie was, because this was seriously boring and a waste of time and money.
Okay, it isn't the graphic novel, but Zack Snyder clearly gives a toss, creating a smart, stylish, decent adaptation, if low on accessibility for the non-convert.
Watchmen is based on a comic series written by English writer Alan Moore and illustrated by co-creator Dave Gibbons. It was originally published by DC Comics12 issues from 1986 to 1987 and was later republished in graphic novel format. Yes. Although earlier drafts of the script had a present day background, replacing the Cold War with the "war on terror," it was ultimately decided to retain the 1985 Cold War setting,the film's producers decided that,is, there are already enough eerie parallels between the world of the graphic novel and our own. One modern touch that appears in the film is Adrian Veidt (<a href="/name/nm0328828/">Matthew Goode</a>) and Doctor Manhattan (<a href="/name/nm0001082/">Billy Crudup</a>) attempting to create a new fuel source. This is very briefly touched on in the comic: Dr. Manhattan is having a conversation with Hollis Mason (<a href="/name/nm0570385/">Stephen McHattie</a>), the original Nite Owl, at his retirement party. Mason says his occupationa vigilante has become obsolete with Manhattan coming on the scene, so he's going to retire and repair cars. Manhattan tells him that the new electric cars will soon be everywhere; there never was enough lithium to power them before, but since he can easily synthesize it, gasoline-based cars will soon be obsolete. After this point in history, there are electric cars seen frequently in the background, and one scene has a delivery man recharging his truck at a news stand. Watchmen is based on a graphic novel which emulates and satirizes the history of characters from the Charlton Comics company, which had been acquired by DC Comics. Many of the modern superheroes people know today, like the Flash or Green Lantern, are actually the second bearers of those names and, in the Charlton Comics world, there were two Blue Beetles. The first were characters from the "Golden Age of comic books" of the 1930s and '40s, when superheroes first became a growing fad. The trend eventually died away, but was revived in the late 1950s by the introduction of new characters with new costumes and altered powers, bearing the names of their wartime counterparts, thus beginning the "Silver Age", which led to superheroes becoming a permanent part of Americana. In the world of Watchmen, Nite Owl and Silk Spectre represent this pattern, with their more modern-time incarnations being the main characters, having taken off from the Greatest Generation.
