Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.
Mar. 5th, 2009 08:31 pmSo, hurm, Watchmen.
How can I say it without shouting...
THAT IT IS FUCKING MAGNIFICENT AND I AM IN COMPLETE AWE BECAUSE THEY SUCCEEDED TO EXCEED MY INSANE EXPECTATIONS.
The film is breathtakingly superb. You can really tell that Zack Snyder is a true fan of the comics by how much care and respect he put into making this.
The cast is incredibly, and by that I mean incredibly impressive and they brought the characters to life not only realisticly but with ease.
The soundtack is 57 flavours of epic awesome and really contributes to make the atmosphere of the film completely unique.
( I would say that as a whole, it was 99% perfect, and that's only because I nitpick a tiny tiny bit )
In any case, I have no doubts that this is my all time favourite comic book film and that it will be hard to beat in the future.
We were five to see it (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jedicathy, angeliksmall, fairy_bliss and the Bro) and only two to have read the graphic novel and yet, *everyone* loved it to bits. The other three even want to read the graphic novel now ^^
The film is rated PG-13 in France because we always rate lower than in the US but I must say, that's the first time that I think their rating wasn't exagerated. It is EXTREMELY violent and gory and by that I mean HARDCORE. 300 looks like the care bears compared to this one.
I would have rated it R myself.
I am dying to see it again, I am dying to be in London already to see it in all its IMAX epic glory and I am dying to see the 3h10 version.
To conclude, I'd like to say that ce film, c'est comme se prendre une immense baffe dans la gueule and I mean that in the best way possible (pardon my french :p).
