Wow! I f-ing loved Watchman. I've been begging the movie-making Gods to please bring me a sci-fi movie that is even sort of as close to being as interesting as The Matrix. Had I predicted that ten years later it would be a God with a name of Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) that would come in the form of a glowing, blue, naked man with a digitally enhanced schlong, maybe I would have stopped praying. Glad I didn't because this movie rocked. (Though maybe they could have quid pro quo digitally enhanced Carla Gugino's skeeter bites in equally engorged proportions as Crudup's noodle... oh well... Carla, as Silk Spectre, is still smokin' hot and brought out of obscurity and likely captured the desires of many-a-mortal man wanting to super-f the sh*t out of her.)
The film is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed graphic novel of the same name, and visually, has replicated cells of the novel directly into frames of the movie. Amazing. And the unwieldy story, that's been tossed around Hollywood for 20 years as an impossibility to bring to the screen, has finally been tastefully (besides all the man *ss), respectfully and thrillingly brought to life. Kudos to director Zack Snyder (who also brought us 300). Just watch the movie trailer and read on because...
FilmBender is Funny Movie Reviews. Set in a parallel reality to a generation leading up to 1985, the film takes a look at superheros and hang-ups that superhumanize them while they move forth -- going to the absolute most extreme measures -- to save the world. Besides Crudup, mostly unknowns fill out the rest of the incredible cast. That's with an exception of the show-stopping and contained-psycho-maniac performance of the character known as Rorschach by Jackie Earle Haley... you may recognize him as the tough kid from the original The Bad News Bears and then Breaking Away who also then fell into obscurity until he shocked the world as a sexual deviant in the also-amazing-and-disturbing performance in Little Children. Violent, beautiful, visionary, exciting. Watchitman.
haven't watch this movie yet but a lot of my friends say this movie really rocks

I watched this movie last night. And I think This is possibly the best adaptation that we will ever get for Watchmen. They did change the ending but still captured the essence of the graphic novel.

I like the writing structure of your blog and it does a pretty decent job of presenting the material.
