The Watchmen*

The Watchmen
Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown...
-The Watchmen: Rorschach's Journal.




The most critically acclaimed graphic novel of our time, was finally made into a movie(:
IT WAS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEE*******


Amazinggggg action scene, plot line and characters it was everything you could ask for in a comic book movie. Like the Dark Knight this movie was done by the book, which means that they stuck to the story line and they didn't screw up anything up by adding their own nonsense...


In case you don't know what the Watchmen is...here's some facts(:

-It is 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his fifth term as US president and the world stands on the brink of destruction, from the fear of Nuclear war.

-The only thing stopping the USSR from launching a doomsday attack is America's Dr Manhattan (the blue guy) a being with enough power to destroy planets....

-The Watchmen are a group of superheros that want to make the world better and save it from nuclear destruction, they are the followup group of the past time superheros the minute men.

- Keep in mind during the movie, that not all superheros are the good guys

- The movie is made after one of the greatest graphic novels ever written by Alan Moore.

-Unfortunately, this movie is Rated R...for a reason. So ask your parents to take you or something like mine did.

-The Watchmen is no ordinary superhero movie



Try this movie out, and see if you think that it holds the spot of the best Superhero movie ever.

If you were a superhero, what power would you want to possess?

  4. If I were a superhero i would want to posses the power of shape shifting. This would be a great power because I could pretend to be anyone that I want,and mess with people's heads so it would be really fun.
