Watchmen

Rating:★★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
Me and my brother watched this movie at MOA believing that it will be shown in IMAX. Sad to say, it's not available in IMAX contrary to what the movie poster said. So we watched it in Directors Club. It was my first time watching a movie in DC, the ice tea suck. I prefer watching it in Gateway Globe Platinum Cinema. Anyway on to the movie...Watchmen, a movie adaptation based on the graphic novel of Alan Moore. I really liked the book, so I was expecting that the movie will be the same, but of course never expect since you'll end up in disappointment. The movie is somehow faithful with the novel, same sequences and same dialogues, but it still fails to deliver. I like the acting of Jackie Earle Haley, who plays as Rorschach. Good performance compare to the rest of the cast especially Malin Akerman(Laurie Jupiter) and Matthew Goode(Ozymandias) who I think never grasp of their characters. I think for some who doesn't read the book(like my brother), he seems to have a lot of questions regarding the movie, and that was expected since the movie was flawed right from the start. The ending is not that same compare to the book, Im not sure which ending I prefer since I don't like the ending of the book. hahaha! But then again I was entertained by this movie and I like the old school songs that they have used in the background. So the question is "Who will watch the Watchmen?"
