Watchmen

A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, the film is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - Which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach set out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorshach glimpes a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity...but how is watching the Watchmen?

The mystery adventure "Watchmen" is directed by Zack Snyder ("300") from a screenplay by David Hayter and Alex Tse, Based on the award-wining Graphic Novel Illustrated by Dave Gibbons and published by DC Comics.

You're clearly another of these morons who didn't like it because there was too much complex dialogue. It was a brilliantly directed film, and the novel is incredibly well written too. The casting is practically perfect and it's just the right length. The line "All movie is a piece of shit" shows your stupid grammar skills.

What song is this?

"Illustrated by Dave Gibbons" this is true but he was not the mastermind behind the project, Allen Moore wrote it with creative input from Dave Gibbons, Allen Moore also came up with the style of art he wanted in the novel, which is why he specifically chose Dave Gibbons as his illustrator. All character designs by Dave Gibbons with creative input from Allen Moore. this creative input includes Rorshach's mask, hence the name

I LOVE LOVE this movie but I detest every member of Watchmen except for Rorschach and Nite Owl. I especially hate Dr. Manhattan. What an a-hole. >3>
