WatchMen

It was a struggle to watch this. At almost 3 hours and with an on and off low tone coarse voice narration, it didn't help. Based on the 12 parts DC comics, don't think the movie will be a hit with the mass. Story revolved around a doomsday clock, which was permanently set 5 minutes before midnight. But actually, the doomsday is about the impending war between US and Soviets.

Then it added another layer of mystery when one of the costumed superheroes was killed, the comedian. This sparked off the whole movie and followed by the world longest starting credit, really getting on my nerves. Since he was killed at the beginning, he appeared through the movie in flashbacks.

But even those alive ones, also flashbacks, I though I was watching LOST. Rorschach, the mask hero started to investigate, he wore a mask somehow have ink blots shifting around. He tried to warn Nite Owl, Dr Manhattan and Silk Spectre. Dr Manhattan seems to be the only one having super powers due to a freak accident. He donned a blue skin and can disintegrate anything, even himself. Silk Spectre was his love but left him when found out he seems to be losing his human touch.

She went to Nite Owl and stayed with him. As Rorschach digged deeper, he found himself being setup and thrown into prisons. NO and SS got him out and they found out, all these seems to be the doing of Ozymandias, another hero. He did all these, even causing Dr M to leave for Mars.

His plan was to develop a infinite source of energy which he succeeded. The rest found out but was too late as he already activated the detonation throughout the world but his main objective was to avoid the war between US and Soviet which he succeeded as the world now is united against Dr M. The world thought these energy explosions was his doing.

Dr M agreed to keep quiet but Rorschach didn't, so he disintegrated him. 6/10
