I Watch the Watchmen

So, I know this isn't a recent movie, but I just recently saw: Watchmen, and just to start, I have to say I LOVED this movie. The trailer is here:

The original graphic novel this is based on was written as a miniseries by Alan Moore in 1986-87, so the movie takes place around then, but most of the time, I forgot that, because of all of the advanced technology used in it. The whole story was based around three things: Dr. Manhattan, the suspicions of nuclear war, and the murder of a certain important character in the first ten minutes of the film. The story is very dark and complicated, so you'd have to pay close attention to understand it. There are so many really interesting superheroes. It's also extremely violent in certain places. One of the reasons I enjoyed it so much is because it's so majestic and thrilling. This fits perfectly with the character's tones because the all act either really intense or really grand. I also thought the symbolic smiley face with the blood drop from the original book cover was well used throughout the movie. If you've seen 300, then you would have noticed how great the image quality was, and it's similar to that in Watchmen. Also like 300, they have scenes that are exactly like they were in the book. That's probably because they're by the same director, Zack Snyder, who is also the director of the upcoming Man of Steel movie. I have really high expectations for any action movie done by Zack Snyder, and any Alan Moore book. If you are interested in Alan Moore, see and read V for Vendetta, and if you are interested in Zack Snyder, see and read 300 (the book of 300 was written by Frank Miller) I would definitely give Watchmen an A.
