Mad Tiger Movie Review


I went and watched Watchmen this morning starring Malin Akerman as Silk Spectre II, Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhattan, Matthew Goode as Ozymandias, Jackie Earle Hayley as Rorschach, Jeffery Dean Morgan as The Comedian and Patrick Wilson as Nite Owl II.

In an alternate 1985 America, 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 sets 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 - Rorschach glimpses 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 who is watching the watchmen?

This film is very long. It also has nude scenes so isn’t a film for children. But if you are into Adult Comics movies you will like this movie. I didn’t hate this film but it wasn’t the best one I have seen. I give this film 3 tiger paws.
