So, yesterday I’ve visited Watchmen. Y’know that new movie being advertised everywhere and supposedly about some superhero’s. It was somewhat different than I would expect though (to be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect >_>).
Anyways, first thing if you’ll ever see it, it’s a damn long sit. I sat there from 20:20 till 23:20 (so the movie took about 2:45 hours, considering 15 minutes of pre-commercials).
About the movie, I won’t really spoil, but one of the negative points is that the movie takes so long and sometimes parts in the movie go quite slow. On those parts you really want the talking to quit and see some damn action! Also, there are quite a few erotic scenes (kissing/sex) in the movie and I thought those were unnecessary and shouldn’t have been in it.
The movie is quite the entertaining watch though (if you like the genre) and Rorschach (the guy with the everchanging mask) is made of awesome. Mosly the movie follows Rorschach and a few other Watchmen to see how they uncover the facts about the nuclear threat with Russia (the movie plays in a longer variant of the Cold War) and how it could nuke the entire planet. One tries to stop it, the other wants to get free energy for everyone to stop it and another god-like being stands between it as some safe-guard. Alas, it’s all quite weird, you’ll have to see it.
