In 1985 where former superheroes exist, the murder of a colleague sends active vigilante Rorschach into his own sprawling investigation, uncovering something that could completely change the course of history as we know it. "Watchmen" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity… but who is watching the Watchmen?" I was lucky enough to view an early screening of the movie and when I sat down with my popcorn I was hyper as ever. The aspect of the movie that shocked me most, which was not advertised in the trailer is how many comedic scenes that are going to be present. This element did not damper the experience I had too much because most jokers were funny but I went in believing that this movie was going to be very dark (have not read the GN). This addition of comedy for me immediately takes it out of the legendary film categories.<br/><br/>The film has brilliant action with gore that stands up to the likes of Saw! CGI present was also on par with what film goers are used too. The music from Tyler Bates certainly tries to recreate some of his brilliance from 300 in this film and when you recognise this while watching it reminds you that you don't have to take this piece of art so seriously but too enjoy that same brilliantly choreographed scenes and that standing up out of your seat shouting "YAH, you just got owned!!" feeling that you received from 300. <br/><br/>The film did drag on a bit too long and the side affects of this are looking down at your watch every so often as well as reminiscing the adrenaline pumping fight sequences earlier in the movie.<br/><br/>Overall I very much enjoyed the film which entertained me thoroughly and appreciated the beautifully created scenery present. I recommend you see this film in the Cinema the way it is meant to be seen. Admittedly, I know nothing about Watchmen. Is it a comic book series, is it a graphic novel? Are they good guys, are they bad guys? Do they have superpowers do they not? This movie was my first introduction to them and it wasn't a good introduction. I was confused within the first five minutes. The character The Comedian (Jeffery Dean Morgan) was watching T.V. and he's watching a speech by Nixon at the president's podium, so immediately I'm thinking early 70's. Then he flips the channel to MTV which I know didn't hit the air until early 80's! But I thought: "This will all be explained anyway." Well, it wasn't.<br/><br/>The movie then dove into giving us a taste of each costumed caper. There was a group called the Minutemen who, I think, were predecessors to the Watchmen (if the Watchmen is even a group to begin with). What I did gather is that these masked men and women were not quite who you'd want protecting your streets from evil. The Comedian, for instance, was nothing more than a criminal in a mask. And why even give him the name "The Comedian"? That's entirely too close to "The Joker", another wicked DC character.<br/><br/>Apparently, if you put on a costume you become super strong (like breaking concrete with your fist strong), you gain elite fighting skills, can dispatch of scores of foes without breaking a sweat, and can sustain the most gruesome beating without any visible signs of damage. OK, so you might be saying: "Isn't that the case with all action movies nowadays?" I say to that, yes, and I think it's absurd in all cases except when the action heroes have super powers.<br/><br/>We all know it's a precondition for a female superhero to be a supermodel. One of the superheroes named Silk Spectre 2 ((Malin Ackerman) she was number 2 because her mom was the first), besides the super ability to maybe cause drooling with her incredible lack of clothing, she was able to kick men clear across a room, break bones completely in half and best of all she never had a hair out of place. Now that is an ability to be jealous of. No matter what she did: fight, have sex, save people from a burning building– her hair was never out of place. Now, her clothes… that's a different story. They were displaced a few times as this movie bordered on softcore porn.<br/><br/>Between Silk Spectre showing her goods and having a sex scene with Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson) and Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) choosing to parade around with no clothes, there was plenty of nudity. I guess if you get atomized and reconstructed like Dr. Manhattan did you then prefer to let it all hang out. Why wear clothes when you're ripped like Mr. Universe and you can presumably make your body parts any size you like? <br/><br/>Let me not make it seem as though the movie was all bad. The last ten minutes were good. Which kind of sucks because the movie was so long. Two hours and 40 minutes or so to be exact. <br/><br/>So, lets do a brief recap: confusing, softcore porn, unexplained abilities, too long. This movie wasn't catered to the non-fanboys at all. The problem is that Snyder, following Moore, is so insanely aroused by the look of vengeance, and by the stylized application of physical power, that the film ends up twice as fascistic as the forces it wishes to lampoon. Watchmen is based on a comic series written by English writer Alan Moore and illustrated by co-creator Dave Gibbons. It was originally published by DC Comics as 12 issues from 1986 to 1987 and was later republished in graphic novel format. Yes. Although earlier drafts of the script had a present day background, replacing the Cold War with the "war on terror," it was ultimately decided to retain the 1985 Cold War setting, as the film's producers decided that, as is, there are already enough eerie parallels between the world of the graphic novel and our own. One modern touch that appears in the film is Adrian Veidt (<a href="/name/nm0328828/">Matthew Goode</a>) and Doctor Manhattan (<a href="/name/nm0001082/">Billy Crudup</a>) attempting to create a new fuel source. This is very briefly touched on in the comic: Dr. Manhattan is having a conversation with Hollis Mason (<a href="/name/nm0570385/">Stephen McHattie</a>), the original Nite Owl, at his retirement party. Mason says his occupation as a vigilante has become obsolete with Manhattan coming on the scene, so he's going to retire and repair cars. Manhattan tells him that the new electric cars will soon be everywhere; there never was enough lithium to power them before, but since he can easily synthesize it, gasoline-based cars will soon be obsolete. After this point in history, there are electric cars seen frequently in the background, and one scene has a delivery man recharging his truck at a news stand. Watchmen is based on a graphic novel which emulates and satirizes the history of characters from the Charlton Comics company, which had been acquired by DC Comics. Many of the modern superheroes people know today, like the Flash or Green Lantern, are actually the second bearers of those names and, in the Charlton Comics world, there were two Blue Beetles. The first were characters from the "Golden Age of comic books" of the 1930s and '40s, when superheroes first became a growing fad. The trend eventually died away, but was revived in the late 1950s by the introduction of new characters with new costumes and altered powers, bearing the names of their wartime counterparts, thus beginning the "Silver Age", which led to superheroes becoming a permanent part of Americana. In the world of Watchmen, Nite Owl and Silk Spectre represent this pattern, with their more modern-time incarnations being the main characters, having taken off from the Greatest Generation. a5c7b9f00b Incident by a Bank full movie in hindi free download mp4Psychotropica full movie torrentLegion of Super Heroes movie hindi free downloadtamil movie Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five free downloadGangster Empire: Rise of the Mob movie download in hdMegazone 23 movie hindi free downloadBeverly Hills Cop full movie in hindi free downloadGhost Stocking movie in hindi dubbed downloadThe Boxer in hindi movie downloadUntold full movie in hindi free download
