This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Funny how the Watchman morality tale was the case of art taking a life of it's own beyond the intentions of the author Alan Moore? For contrast I have read the comic and oof the author still really did write an epic backfire.

Rorschach the just man the immovable object vs the unstoppable force that is Dr Manhatten. "No compromise not even in the face of Armageddon". Which is basically not that we just survive/live, but how we survive and live matters the most. The things humans will just do to get by. Embrace the big lie of the hiding the murder of innocents for a presumed greater good. Then evil has no limits against the individual, because all that matters is the collective greater good. Watchman asks some really important and fundamental questions. How far can we go and how far should we go as a species just to survive/live on?

Oh and the film is beautifully shot, well acted for the most part, with kickass actions scenes and rounded off by a great music score.… Expand

You just can´t go wrong with a snyder film. Every single thing he does deserves hype. If you think BvS was dark then don´t you dare go near Watchmen.

Personally,I think of this film as a masterpiece with very few flaws. It captures the look and feel of the comic book perfectly. Rorschach was an amazing character and the BEST character. Nite Owl II was also an amazing character. Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Comedian was easily my second favorite character. Ozymandias was pretty good, I guess. In the end, I love this film and the Director's Cut is even better but the Ultimate Cut is truly the comic book put on screen.… Expand

Sure, for a person not already familiar with the material, it might be hard to understand and follow the complex narrative of this film. But after multiple viewings it becomes better and better, especially when you watch the director's cut and the ultimate cut. The visuals in this movie, similar to all Zack Snyder films, are exhilarating. The actors do an exceptional job, Jackie Earle Haley and Jeffrey Dean Morgan stand out the most as Rorschach and The Comedian. The fight scenes are gleefully bloody and very well choreographed, and the direction is very sharp and tense. The overall atmosphere is amazingly depicted, the situation in the movie feels extremely realistic. One of my favorite superhero films of all time.… Expand

Um dos melhores filmes da DC. Um desenvolvimento de personagens excelentes, porém com um vilão com ideologia ruim e mal aprofundada, história bem contada. Roteiro ótimo. Recomendo

Despite the length of this movie, it's so well paced and filled with action that it's easy to watch through it even multiple times. Even the story is narrated in a rare interesting way. Overall a beautifully crafted and well acted movie, with entertaining dark and adult based reality.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Watchmen surpases even the dark knight but unfortunately its one of the most underrated movies of the 2000's. With its very complex narative storytelling and slow burn this movie makes into a superhero masterpiece. The fight scenes are very stylish and its the only superhero movie I ever saw that doesnt have a villain. Ozymandias' plan is to detonate nuclear bombs all over the world and blame doctor manhattan so that the world Unite against him. Poate based on a lie, but peace. Doctor manhatan leaves earth. THe biggest problem is that I should stat with pg13 movies cause I'm not old enough to watch even a mild R but I still loved this movie.… Expand

Ну скажу честно, что не являюсь прям поклонником комиксных фильмов, но после всех этих "Человеков пауков" и "Мстителей" случайно наткнулся на фильм "Хранители" и решил посмотреть.
Да, именно после первых "Мстителей", я увидел этот фильмНу скажу честно, что не являюсь прям поклонником комиксных фильмов, но после всех этих "Человеков пауков" и "Мстителей" случайно наткнулся на фильм "Хранители" и решил посмотреть.
Да, именно после первых "Мстителей", я увидел этот фильм только году в 2013м и это была "Максимальная версия" хронометражем аж под три часа. Фильм мне показался невероятно затянутым. Но прошло время и я пересмотрел его, а фильмец то ничего!
Герои очень хорошо прописаны им даже сопереживаешь, чего очень трудно добиться в одной серии даже с таким хронометражем.
В фильме глубокий смысл прогнившего общества и отношения к людям как к мусору. Кто то не выдерживает своей супер силы и сходит с ума, а кто то превращается просто в циничного зверя. Хотя показывается альтернативная реальность, но всё же всем понятно, что это сегодняшние США.
Лично для меня интрига главного злодея оставалась интригой почти до самого конца.
Ещё меня напряг какой то не здоровый акцент режиссера на огромной синей ялде Доктора Манхэттена! Зачем? Хотя такой фильм сейчас вряд ли мог выйти в США.
Короче, если вам надоели детские фильмы-комиксы про "Мстителей", то советую "Хранителей", эдакую смесь "Бэтмена" и "Города грехов". Не надо ожидать от фильма серьёзного подхода к вещам и отсутствия дебильных костюмов, но зато в отличие от вышеперечисленных комиксов в этом есть какой то серьёзный подтекст. Каждый увидит то, что захочет увидеть.
На сколько я осведомлён, этот фильм даже сейчас мало кто смотрел. Так, что кто не видел, есть повод познакомиться.… Expand

A gritty grounded take on caped crusaders based in a alternate 1985 America. The opening credit scene of this film, is one of the best you will ever witness in cinematic history. The film is absolutely stunning from start to finish.

My favorite moments in this film are;
1) Title Sequence 2) Prison scenes with Rorschach 3) Every scene with Dr Manhattan

My criticisms for this film are;
1) It got a tad slow in the middle 2) A giant squid would have been cool (Although, I had no issue with the ending of this film)… Expand

Its pace may be too slow for many, the vibe too dark and gritty, but come on. This neo-noir hypnotical mystery sucks you in, and does not let you go, just because of its realism, even though it takes place in an alternate universe, that makes it even more thrilling. It has insanely deep characters, dramas, fantastic cinematography, and a superb cast. It is not a superhero film. It is ART. And gets an 8.5.… Expand

The character of Rorschach is just awesome and fun to watch.
It took me some reading on the internet to have a better understanding of the movie psychological meaning but the plot is unexpected and it makes you think how sometimes our modern world 'IT'S ALL A JOKE'.… Expand

People weren't lying when they said this was good.

The Owl-guy's acting kinda dissapoints sometimes but other than that... nothing.
