Movie: Watchmen- Super Hero & Philosophy

I've seen Watchmen since a couple of weeks ago, and I really appreciate with this movie! I've known that Watchmen is not a Sci-Fi Action Super Hero movie before I went to the theater (I read from a short brief in movie's ads.), but I've never think before that there's a Super Hero movie that tell you about Life philosophy!

Every scenes of Watchmen are really beautiful, impressive and implied something ...even on the Intro scene. The main theme is detective style: Who killed Comedian? and Why? The main character that push the story forward is Rorschach, one of watchmen who have hard-direct/frank style with something in mind. However, the best attractive character is Dr.Manhattan. How can you ignore the blue-radical guy who have power and philosophy like a God! Actually, I think every characters in Watchmen the movie are interesting...I will try to write about each character in the future (soon)!


Pros

  • Great Pictures. All scenes are beautiful.
  • The detective theme is interesting and attractive. Not too easy to predict who is the villian(but not too hard).
  • You can get a lot of Life philosophy from the movie.
  • The end of the movie is great (for me).
Cons
  • Not much Action scene
  • Quite a long movie (~3hours)
  • If you want to see Action Super Hero and not love to think about the philosophy conversation, This movie is NOT for you!
If you love this movie, you may love to see this "Watchmen The Complete Motion Comic"
