What a load of GARBAGE!
I'm going to go deeper than attack the film, I'm going after the source material! The comic books of the same name! What makes up the Watchmen? You have a crummy dystopian H.G. Wells wannabe plot, coupled with the biggest assortment of blatantly plagiarized characters I have ever seen in my LIFE!
Anyone who has read comics for any length of time, especially DC(Or even followed recent cartoons like JLU) will understand what I'm getting at. I think the most intelligence insulting rip-off of a character was Rorschach, this guy is quite literally Steve Ditko's "The Question", with a fancier mask, and more severe mental health issues. How about Nite Owl II? Can you say "The Blue Beetle"? Sure you can! Just add the gadget of Batman's evil analogue "Owl Man" and there ya go! Ozymandias is a combination of Lex Luthor, the Flash, and just a hint of Booster Gold. I'm not going to list the rest of the characters, because we'll be here all day long, but you get the idea.
Now some will try to say "Well the setting, and writing style was original for the time! Comics were never so dark before Watchmen!" That is a load of...BULL! Go pick up an old pulp comic from the 1930s. What will you find? Lies, sex, murder, all the sorts of things you'll find in "underground" comics of the early 1980s.
Alan Moore may have created some impressive works, but Watchmen certainly isn't one of them.


Same here. ;) Hence why I started this blog, naturally.
