Watchmen

One question; why wasn’t Rorschach the only character in this film?  Besides the Comedian, he’s the only interesting character in the whole film, which sadly proceeds along slower than a snail entering the twilight of its life.

 

So we have a big blue man, a dead lesbian (again why?) some posh British bloke who named himself after Rameses II and a bunch of other equally boring superheroes/vigilantes running around keeping Richard Nixon in office into 1985.  Okay not quite but by this point I’d stopped paying attention whenever Rorschach wasn’t on the screen.

 

With a background of the U.S. and the Soviets about to go to Nuclear war, we watch as the idiots bumble their way towards uncovering a conspiracy with only one nuke explosion to console us when Rorschach isn’t on the screen.  I don’t know what Alan Moore thought of this, but I’m sure his comic upon which the film is based is so much better, so I’d say read that instead.
