Comic Superhero Films Number 6 of the top 10
- Image via Wikipedia
Watchmen comes in at number 6 for our superhero films. The film is revolved around superheroes that are wrapped up in mystery and trying to prevent world war 3 based on the classic series by Alan Moore. The superheroes in this film were one time big stars but are now mostly forgotten and washed up past heroes. The film directed by Zach Snyder being based on the classic story that had so much detail it was hard for any viewer to comprehend had a huge amount of detail and storyline to fit in if it was to be anything like the 12 part series. The film version would therefore definitely not be without its haters and critics especially as the ending was changed.
There was no way Snyder could fit everything in one film that happened over the 12 part series, it would have at least taken 2 films to do so. Yet the casting of Jackie Earle Haley (Rorschach), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (the Comedian), and Patrick Wilson (Nite Owl) were inspired and their performances exhilarating in this comic superhero film. The stunning visuals and brilliant performances by the previously mentioned actors make this movie a purely special experience. The film is a fascinating watch and makes a truly great superhero film. A lot of superhero films have a dark side to them which gives them that extra edge and makes them more captivating to watch. The opening scene is an amazing sequence which has to date never been paralleled in any other comic book movie and gives the entire history of the movie in its opening credits. There were critics in their abundance but I immensely enjoyed this film and would recommend to any superhero movie fan.
