Directed by Zack Snyder, rated R, 162 minutes
Watchmen is a dark, complex and intense film based on one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. The film is set in an alternate 1985, where superheroes have been forced to stop working. But, when an old superhero is murdered, Rorschach, a vigilante superhero who never stopped, tries to find out what happened. The acting is hit and miss other than Jackie Earle Haley's disturbing and brutal performance as Rorschach. The film is pretty light on action scenes, in favor of complicated characters and a terrific story. Watchmen is a superhero movie for adults, and despite its flaws, is a truly interesting and colorful film. You'll like it if: You like dark films, comic book films, Jack Earle Haley, The Dark Knight, Sin City or 300.
