Plot:
In a version of 1985 where superheroes exist, the murder of a colleague sends active vigilante Rorschach on the trail of a conspiracy that will change the course of history.
After about two decades in development hell, a film adaptation of the acclaimed graphic novel Watchmen finally comes out.
I found the movie to have a bit of a slow start, with the bulk of the first half dealing with the character’s back stories. However, once the action picked up in the second half, I found myself having a good time.
The film is definitely more darker and violent that most comic book movies and it is definitely not family entertainment, but I would have to say I recommend it.
9/10
