"Watchmen" directed by Zack Snyder is an adaptation of the comic book by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. The film is set in an alternate history 1985 at the height of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, as a group of superhero vigilantes investigate a conspiracy to kill them all and uncover a plan more horrifying.
The casting is great, but Jackie Earle Haley as Walter Kovacs / Rorschach rocks it.
I liked this movie immensely when I saw it on opening day, but for some reason it doesn't hold up for me the way the comic did. I like it, but now it seems like it's trying too hard. Too stylized. Too fake.
Maybe it was just a bad day to watch it.
