Pass the Popcorn: Watchmen
The tagline "Who watches the Watchmen?" is close but incomplete. It should ask "Who watches the Watchmen and likes it?" I was really excited for this movie to release on DVD. It had one of the best trailers of the year and a gripping premise. Too bad the movie didn't follow suit.
Watchmen tells the story of a group of reluctant superheros who struggle to find their place in an world that doesn't really want them. It's long, violent, and lacks any true emotion. Some of the scenes were fantastic and some of the music was great. The climax didn't follow the emotional arc of the characters it set up to follow, and ultimately, I didn't care anyway. Overall the movie was bad.
