Watchmen (2009)
9/10
Watchmen is a visually, eye-catching great movie.
7 March 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Let me start off with the visual effects. The visual effects are amazing to say the least, the visuals for Dr. Manahattan were exhilarating and very well-made! One of the best visual effects ever put on film and for fans who loves Dr. Manahattan, will not be disappointed. Which brings to performances, Malin Akerman was absolutely bad ass as Silk Spectre and was awesome in this, in the next few years people are going to remember her for this role, look for more of her in the future of movies. Patrick Wilson as Dan Dreiberg/Night Owl II gave a very good performance, good actor. But the highlights of the film are: Billy Crudup and Jackie Earle Haley. Billy Crudup was absolutely perfect and wasn't just playing Dr. Manahattan, he was him. Jackie Earle Haley had my favorite performance in the movie, let's just say he OWNED as Rorschach and was just as good as Heath Ledger's amazing performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight only difference, he wasn't a villain. Both Crudup and Haley gave Oscar-worthy performances, they both should get the nod. And last but not least, Jeffery Dean Morgan did a great job as The Comedian but I expected it more from him.

Who do watches the Watchmen? I do and i'm telling you to watch this spectacular film, you won't be disappointed. Watchmen is indeed a very long movie but that doesn't matter because the visual effects, performances and action-packed cool sequences won't bore you at all. The movie is complex & doesn't have any villains, there's just good guys/bad guys all around and that's the brief spoiler I will give you. P.S., another spoiler: those who are expecting crazy & unnecessary slow-mo's are wrong, the slow-mo's were awesome and wasn't used that much, Snyder put those slow-mo's at the right and perfect scenes.
