Watchmen Movie Review
Watchmen is like no superhero movie you have ever seen. In fact it could be described as the anti-superhero movie. You would never know this ahead of time judging by the deceptively flashy trailers that were released to promote the film to a wide audience. That is of course unless you have read the highly acclaimed 12 part graphic novel Watchmen that was released in 1986. TIME magazine even included the four hundred page series in its Top 100 english novels of the 20th century. An honor rarely seen for a medium of its kind. Some have even referred to it as the “Citizen Kane of comic books”. As pretentious as that claim may seem the source material really does carry with it a lot of weight. This explains its continued popularity over the past twenty years.
