WATCHMEN: AT LAST- THE ULTIMATE COMIC BOOK MOVIE IS HERE!
Finally, at long last the public at large will share in something comic book fans have been enjoying for decades. With the release of the Watchmen movie, the greatest graphic novel of all time has hit our screens, and those unfamiliar with the characters and their story won’t know what has hit them. Zack Snyder appears to have helmed the most faithful comic book movie in history, and while the ending is different, the elements that made Watchmen so special in the first place are all present and correct.
Many reviewers are making out that this film is a landmark in genre cinema, an event that will be felt in filmmaking for decades to come, like with Blade Runner, Alien, Star Wars and suchlike. While I don’t think it will have quite so much impact as those films, I think it will be getting pretty damn close, and if the rumours of it being rereleased in the summer as a director’s cut (running 30 minutes longer), then it may well achieve the greatness that it deserves.
We look forward to bringing you our reviews! Until then, check out:
