GENRE: ACTION SCI-FI THRILLER / DRAMA / MYSTERY
The Watchmen was the latest super hero movie by DC Comics. It wasn't the greatest release by DC but the movie has its finer moments. Set back in the 1980's, The Watchmen were a team of masked vigilantes who have all retired from crime fighting, and gone their separate ways. When one of their members of the team is murdered, the investigation begins on finding out who's the culprit. Unfortunately, the movie was just too long, almost three hours! I was not too impressed by the story, nor by the performances from the actors. I was very intrigued when they went into the side story of Dr. Manhattan, which is the only part of the movie that I enjoyed. They show how Dr. Manhattan gained his powers, and became a God-like super hero.
All in all the movie was OK and very watchable. I give this move a 2.5 out of 5 stars.
This movie was really good. Although a tad long, but a great story!
