After waiting in intense anticipation to see this movie, at first I was not impressed but mildly puzzled and bored simultaneously. However, I resolved that although the first half of the movie was slow, and uninteresting, it was a necessary explanation to why the events transpired in the manner that did they did. The film began to take shape in the scenes where the history of the Watchmen was being explained; at that point I began to understand how all the elements of the story worked to form an intelligible plot. Indeed it was quite a plot. Amazing.

The fight scenes were clear, in that, it was apparent where the kicks and punches landed. I was hoping the trailer would not have been better than the movie, and my hopes were realized. As a superhero movie Watchmen definitely does not disappoint, as the costumes were designed well. According to metacritic.com, the film earned generally mixed reviews, and rottentomatoes.com granted the film 139 fresh tomatoes to 74 rotten ones thus far. Good stuff. I' ll score it an 83.
