REVIEW: WATCHMEN – THE MOVIE



This one will be fast: I loved the movie and I endorse every change made by the film’s authors.




Best scenes:

» The amazing opening, with an amazing song, telling the (alternative) story of the US from the thirties to the eighties.
» Most of the Rorschach citations, like:
“- Is this BEAN juice?
- HUMAN bean juice...”
» Prison scene. “I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me!”
» The ending – greatest director “liberty” and works even better than the gigantic psyche octopus from the comics.

Conclusion:

» Sure it was hard to adapt these comics to the silver screen, but the director chooses the only acceptable way: to be as faithful as possible. This is not a movie for everyone, though. As the graphic novel wasn´t.

Minutemen flashbacks


Only in real world the villains are more human than the heroes


Flawless locations


A darker America
