Watchmen directed by Zack Snyder is set in alternative 1985 – a time in which the world is nearing a nuclear war. There is also a plot to eliminate a group of ex-crime fighters. But the question arises – why? Two of the ex-crime fighters take it upon themselves to find out the cause and do the remedial action. After 300 Zack seems to have another winner in hand. The visuals are simply great and he has successfully adapted the book into the film without any hitch.
Zack gets kudos for this film as he had the courage to adapt a very difficult novel into a film. 300 proved that he is a competent director and with ‘Watchmen’ he will rank among the very best. He has tried his level best to remain as close to the book as possible except for the ending. But then you can really expect a director to make a page by page rendition of a novel. Even Spielberg will fail to do that. The movie has a good depth which die-hard movie goers will simply relate to.
The Watchman movie starts with the murder of the Comedian in a long action scene. The next 160 minutes is full of mind-blowing action and the viewers too are introduced to the Minutemen. The story is simply told so that even newcomers won’t find it difficult to follow.
The only aspect in which the film deviates from the main book is the action scenes. They are understandably longer but never boring. The level of violence is very high and it has already got a 18+ certificate in UK. There is a scene which shows boiling fat being thrown over a man. That is gory. There is some degree of frontal nudity too but all these do not distract the viewers from the main plot.
The only drawback in the film is that the action scenes are much lengthier than what is depicted in the book but never will you feel bored. The film has been given an 18+ classification in the UK. There is a bit of frontal nudity in the film too.
The special effects in this film deserve special mention. Dr. Manhattan and Mars look awesome and the mask on Rorschach is fun to watch. The film is shot in lots of colors which make it fun to watch. The soundtrack of the film is good and reminds you of that period. These songs might not work in other movies, you might argue, but definitely works here.
Watchmen is, no doubt, one of the better films of the year. Zack Snyder deserves a special mention for his efforts and you can actually watch this movie a second time if you prefer.
