Yesterday I went to the movies and caught an early showing of Watchmen!  It's probably a good thing that I saw this movie in the afternoon because its almost 3 hours long...be prepared.  Still, the movie was so good that I hardly noticed and I'll tell you why.

Zack Snyder pays tribute to the old mystery style films in his adaption of this 80's comic.  It's so much more than just a "comic book movie," it plays out more like a literary novel.  The storytelling is incredible and is filled with interesting, complex characters.  Literally every single hero in the film was flawed, which was cool to see for a change.  I was left thinking there was no character in this movie to root for and there and there were few fun surprises thrown in there as well.

This is definitely not a family movie, so parents be warned.  There were a few scenes in it that were pretty graphic though I felt that they did contribute to the plot.  Overall I liked the film a lot and I felt this was a good blockbuster to kick 09' off with!!  Go check it out!
