WATCHMEN MOVIE REVIEW: NOT FOR KIDS OR TEENS


The stake of the world is in the hands of the Watchmen, a group of vigilantes/super heroes. The best way to describe them is if you got Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc... and gave them a couple DNA strands of evil.

The movie is very long, but it is the only way to get into each of the characters personalities. In addition, it's their conflicting personalities that makes them a wild bunch.

Now if you have children or teens, don't think that it's Rated "R" due to its violence. It has the following elements which should give it a NC-17 rating:
-A lot of gore/violence (expected).
-rape scene.
-murder of a elementary aged girl (not shown, but insinuated) by a pedophile
-Soft-core porn scene (super hero sex in costumes).
-FORGOT TO MENTION... Mr. Manhattan's enormous blue penis that is displayed on the big screen over a dozen times.

Don't get me wrong about it's content, because it was necessary for the movie. It's clearly Rated R for the reasons above and like many other Rated R movies. This is just an FYI in case you or someone you know plans to take their kids for movie night.

The cinematography and killer sound effects plus soundtrack make this one to see at the theaters.

  1. Saw Watchmen opening night and loved it. One of the best comic book to movie flics I've seen. The graphic nature of the characters and story line is what makes them what they are known for.
