WATCHMEN: My Review


WOW...there hasn't been, and very well may never be another cinematic experience like this. With Watchmen, Zack Snyder is more like an artist with a brush, vividly recreating the graphic novel. Everything was near perfect from the Cinematography, Editing, Special Effects to the casting and acting. The three standouts had to be Jefferey Dean Morgan as The Comedian; Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhattan; and Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach. I thought Jackie Earle Haley was incredible. Billy Crudup really brought Dr. Manhattan to life well and Jefferey Dean Morgan gave such a complete performance with few scenes. Loved the music and soundtrack choices. One thing I do wish was different was the depth into which Zack Snyder presented Ozymandias. There could have been more about him. As the credits rolled I could only manage one thought besides the epic "WOW" resounding in my head: When could I return and see Watchmen again, but this time in IMAX.
