Movie Assessment: Watchmen – Startling Comic Book Yarn

If you haven’t seen the stunning and critically acclaimed “Watchmen,” then you are missing out on not only a visual treat, but also a movie that shakes your concept of a superhero to it’s very. Not your ordinary, run of the mill superhero movie, “Watchmen,” will raise questions that you may not be ready to hear the answers to. All in all, this movie successfully combines fantastic action sequences with powerful moral dilemmas. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you should.

Our legend follows a related world, apparently close to our own. Some things are obviously singular, we see Nixon captivating three terms as a president, and we see the United States straightforwardly winning the Vietnam Resistance, instead of slinking away in defeat. Our chronicle follows the path of this band of heroes since the late fifties, in what began out as a vigilante group. The story jumps around through time, and has a dazzling saga to tell.

Somewhere along the line, our band of fantastic heroes was deemed dishonest, and one by one they have either been arrested, or killed. A while has past without any movement from them, until one by one they start ending up being murdered. One of their associate decides to take it upon himself to uncover the purpose behind the killings. And in doing so he must feel the other members of the now invalid crowd of protectors of humanity.

All through these flashbacks, we learn that these heroes are far from the faultless icon we are used to in our caped crusaders. Some of them are out-and-out cruel, and they even question the force that they hold over others. We realize that these so called fabulous heroes have participated in slaying, rape, and conspiracy to do untold crimes. But do they have a satisfactory motive for all of this?

As a setting to this legend is the increasing hazard of nuclear warfare. That much is just as destructive to the picture world as it is in real life. And the amazing caper behind the murders is something we don’t recognize until the precise end of the film. Something that makes us question the old adage of the ends mitigating the means. Is it OK to kill one person to protect a thousand? Is it reasonable to slay a thousand to guard one million?

These are some of the real life but necessary questions our heroes must face. You may not agree with the decisions they build, but the path they take along the way proves to be a masterwork of battle filled yarn telling. If you haven’t seen “Watchmen,” we highly advise it, as once you do, you will never think of a superhero in the same way.
