"Watchmen" Review

All I can say about that movie is:

Oh. My. God.

Next to Batman the Dark Knight, Watchmen had to be the best superhero movie ever made. People had said that Watchmen was a near impossible movie to make and have it actually become good. Well, cinema had finally proven that belief wrong. That movie was intense, sexy, and kind of gorey, but it was all around amazing. It's not a movie for kids, not at all. It's more of an adult super hero movie. But, overall, the plot was understandable and the characters seemed so realistic. More or less though, the movie was very political. In the end, you expect one thing to happen, but it's not until the last minute of the movie that you understand what's really going to happen and what the true moral of it is.

The plot is in an alternate universe, but it is an amazing concept. Richard Nixon is still president and Watergate never really happened or it was made to believe that it was not his fault and he had escaped that. It was a truly amazing plot line along with the characterization. The characters included The Comedian, Dr. Manhattan, Nite Owl, Adrian Veidt, Silk Spectre, and Rorchach. In the end, Rorchach ended up being my favorite character. It sucks at how he ends up in the movie though. I won't spoil it though. :)
