Finally saw Watchmen yesterday. Brilliant! I think we have ourselves the Blade Runner of our time here, something that might be overlooked or not the giant success they were hoping for right away, but certainly a film that will stand as a pinnacle of sci-fi / superhero movies for decades to come! The shear brilliance in detail, effects and the attention to each individual storyline is absolutely jaw-dropping.
The beauty and surreal world that has been created, populated with magnificent characters and the cleverly referencing of real world events and people is something that a lot of movie makers could learn something from. Off course, the raw material of the film is nothing less than one of the greatest comics of all time, and yet, the film remains true in soul and heart, to it’s epic origin. One top of this is one of the best musical scores I have heard in a long time, as well as top level acting and perfect editing.
The Watchmen will be remembered as one of the truly stunning moments of movie history, and one, that like Blade Runner, shall be watched over and over again by generations to come. Basically, if you haven’t seen it, make sure you do.
