Watchmen

"Who watches The Watchmen"... I certainly did last Saturday!... and I was very impressed. I have only just started reading the graphic novel so I can see how Zack Snyder literally translated each frame on the page to the big screen. Rorschach, Dr Manhatten, The Comedian, Ozymandias, Nite Owl and Silk Spectre are all recreated brilliantly by the unknown actors. I say unknown - I have seen Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Comedian) in Grey's Anatomy, PS I Love You and The Accidental Husband. The soundtrack and the whole recreation of a dark 1985's New York work well but it is the characters that make the film. I loved it!!!

Rating: 9/10
