The excuse is always the same: "is identical to the comic." As if fidelity to the original (assuming that they actually exist) was in itself a virtue, and to discharge a film based on a graphic novel, cult or not it is, from criticism. Because, let's be clear: I do not like the cartoons (except for Mickey, as a child) and do not know the series. I am going to the movies, and I expect to see work that is not addressed only to insiders.
Wrong, of course. And I have false hopes. Even the director, Zack Snyder, who in "300" I was not disappointed, although the operation was apparently similar to this one. But I tell you now: "Watchmen" deserves my ire, for a variety of reasons.
First, it is too long. 2 hours and 43 minutes of images are good for a blockbuster, but certainly not for a game-based toys. Then, it is unbalanced. Concerned to illustrate the biographies of some of the protagonists (a handful of American superheroes Nixon was in full, extended to 1985 and thrown open to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union) often loses sight of the plot. Moreover, it is vulgar in the psychology of the characters, cut with a hatchet, and exposure to violence, savage and free.
not enough, there is also a barbaric use of the music: a compilation of scattered masterpieces as the worst food for the public. Steps for "The Times They Are a-changin '" in the opening credits (which is alienating, for a newcomer to the event), or the insert of "All Along The Watchtower", but to reduce "Hallelujah", for more in the version of Cohen, a soft-porn background speaks volumes about the inadequacy of the whole culture.
is not - maybe! - Of moralism: the only one who wonders is Rorschach really evil, anti-hero who goes around in a trench coat, hat and spotted shroud, which turns out to be stripped of a conservative suit of iron, the Irish hardly reassuring grin, but what consistency. And not surprisingly, in the end, you disintegrate, more out of desperation that sacrificial spirit. The other idols, however, are a depressing sequence of trivia: all superman blue without irises (Dr. Manhattan) result of the usual, terrible accident at a research center that has become tired of human destiny demigod retiring to Mars, complete with a philosophical solipsism unbearable. Then, on the same line, the Comedian, a sort of drift living the American dream, who rapes and kills him with a smile pinned to his chest (a memorable scene where the pregnant woman shot him, then blaming Manhattan's not stopping it), in addition to generating the new Silk Spectre heroin. Coveted by the first Superman, then by Nite Owl, a Batman with the character of the poor accountant.
The story does not need to: the watchmen, guardians of the American and masked then the world (we need another imperialist background, thanks), are deprived, because they are inconvenient, by a decree of Nixon and reduced anonymity. One of them (Ozymandias), however, hatching plans for world domination, and begins to secretly get rid of former colleagues before the actual start of its new, original, idea: to unleash the Apocalypse in New York, and the blame in Manhattan above so as to create a harmony between the hostile powers in the world against him. The project, at least initially successful, with the consent of the scapegoat, who leaves the earth forever, and killing of Rorschach, who prefers his own death to the revelation of truth. It will be a diary posthumously, finished in a newspaper office, to perform them.
marginal notes that some episodes, though perhaps imported from the comic, I find it ridiculous inexorably, type:
- Dr. Manhattan that atomize the Vietcong quietly turning jockstrap (in private life, however, directed us propina version "nature ". In other words: extermination, but discrete);

conclusion. If you go to see him, do not expect the alternate universe to Gotham City, nor the political fiction saga of V for Vendetta. Watchmen is all these things and nothing. But with a distinct preference for anything.

Watchmen
In a sentence: "they told me you were on Mars"
Sconsigliatissimo: anyone think that the heroes in costumes are not necessarily synonymous with Carnival.
