If I did a review for Taken, Im doing a limitless praise for WATCHMEN.
This movie is probably the movie comic-lovers all over the world have only dreamt of. I mean, Watchmen is pop-culture at its best. Twenty-odd years its been on the movie-production shelf, not touched, not dared. Till Zack Snyder came in the form of a Messiah and took it upon himself to satisfy the needs of millions of people across the world, by making this movie good, and sticking to the book. And that, he did.
People say that the movie is, flavourless and un-original, but whats the point when you already have the most celebrated graphic novel as the script? To ruin this masterpiece and play with it, is like wiping your ass with the book. Whats the point?
Character Portrayal is 110 percent, casting couldnt be better. Zack Snyder did an amazing job by taking the book panel-by-panel and transfering it infront of the camera. I watched the movie, and I thought I was reading the graphic novel again.
OH, and dont get me started on the music score. From Smashing Pumpkins to 99 Luftballons, felt like every scene, was an epic scene.
But, Im not trying to say that to enjoy this move, you have to read the novel first; No, doesnt have to be that way. I mean, watching the movie is exactly like reading the novel anyways, so its perfect for those who dont even know who Alan Moore is.
All in all, its one of those movies that made me warm-up my hands in anticipation. that good.
