Watchmen Review

On the heels of one of the greatest comic book movies of all time "The Dark Knight", We get "Watchmen" quite possibly the greatest. If you read the book, you know the story, but the basic plot outline is when one of thier own is killed, a team of superheros comes out of retirement to find out who is behind it. Of course, there is much more to it than that, but for the sake of spoilers, I will not go into details if you've never read the book.

This is sure to go down as one of the best, if not the best, comic book-based movies of all time. It's the type of film that will spark debate and get people talking, and that is sure to make it a milestone not only in comic-book movie terms, but in film terms in general. It's a monumental achievement as both a technical exercise and as a masterpiece of storytelling.

When all is said and done and the dust settles, film history will show the importance of "Watchmen", it's one of the greatest films of our generation and I will even go boldly to say that this may be "The godfather of all comic-book films" Bold statements,to be sure, but this film is just that powerful. My scale may only go to five, but this film is way above what mere scales can say about a film. It is at turns powerful, funny, disturbing, and important. So for those reasons, I will not be placing a rating on this film I will just say SEE IT. You won't be disappointed. This is flat out one of the best films of all time.
