Brief synopsis of Watchmen

"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 tension between the United States and 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?

Watch the Watchmen

A customer from Braintree , 26/11/2008

I have to say, so far so good. I am a big big fan of Alan Moore. I have read Watchmen a few times and looking at this new trailer it looks like its going to follow it nearly to the tee. Of course i,m betting they may leave some stuff out, I will not say what as you never know and do not want to spoil anything.

As for Rorschach. How cool does he look. lets hope they get the prison bits right cause if so. I want to see a dirty criminal in hot fat, burning.

Please Please, if you are looking forward to this movie. Read the comic first. It will give you great insight to this movie.

Now if only Zack Snyder did From Hell and V for Vendetta. maybe they wouldn't have sucked so much.

P.S Alan Moore has already said he'll never watch this movie.

Preview Review

A customer from Ramsbottom , 28/11/2008

The signs are good for this film which isn't released until march 2009. Zak Snyder recently held a top secret half-hour screening of three set pieces from the movie.

The prison riot scene is said to be breathtaking and the opening is a montage explaining about the alternative 1985 in which Nixon is still president.

If the finished product is as good as we are told then we will enjoy that most rare occurance: A superhero flick that truly honours the source material.
