Let me start by telling you this film is 2 and a half hours long. About 5 minutes into the movie we were all asked to evacuate the theatre. I should have known that this was a warning that I should leave now and not continue watching the movie. Well, anyway we went back into the theatre and I spent the last hour staring at my watch praying for this film to end.
It’s not a super hero movie, its not an action movie. It’s not even a drama. It takes an hour and a half just to explain the plot. We follow around a masked super hero trying to convince the rest of the Watchmen that someone is out to get them. We see some problems between the former heroes and that’s about it. The masked guy runs around trying to solve his mystery while the rest of them go about their boring little lives. Richard Nixon is president for the 5th time or something ridiculous like that and the USSR wants to bomb us. So one hero is trying to make an anti-nuke thing or something like that while another is trying to make billions selling his image.
There is no real plot to this. There’s barely any action. Thankfully it was free. I can’t say a single good thing about this film.
Pros: The studio made the director cut this film from 3 1/2 hours down to 2 1/2 hours.
Cons: It was made by the guy who made 300.
Verdict: 1 / 10. This film was more torturous than watching Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. This is honestly the worst movie I’ve seen in a very long time and I watch those movies they sell at the Dollar Store starring Stallone’s brother.
