Watchmen Review
This time the Superheroes are under threat. Watchmen story is set over a mid-80s alternate American Society. Costumed superheroes now are everyday things; so is the Doomsday Clock. It charts the tension between USA and Soviet Union. The clock is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. The threat is Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) who sets for uncovering a plot that shall get rid of every superhero that was created. Masked, washed up and determined, it's the murder of his former colleague that turned him to a vigilante. Formerly a part of an anti-crime-fighting legion comprising ragtag, retired superheroes, - Rorschach catches a glimpse of a deep, wide and disturbing conspiracy. A shared past leading to catastrophic consequences, who sent them for the mission to keep humanity under an unceasing watch?
From a striking comic book fantasy to a 160 minutes film with massively extravagant special effects and fabulous themes, the backdrop is set on a time that's long past; to be precise, the mid-1980s. An impending nuclear war brought together a few but intriguing characters - the troubled Super Heroes. Flashbacks tell us their respective pasts where brilliant strikes share space with partly distorted storytelling. But that again helps in the tension and resolution of the moments. To go through the storyline, pour yourself a digital tea.
A murder, a ransacked room and a tossed body condense into a coherent but often garbled storytelling. Smart pathos of The Comedian, an unrecognizable Dan and a black-latex wearing Silk Specter for whom Dan has soft corners, all get together to deliver a cinematic visual effects bash. A mind-blowing experience with margins for the storytelling hiccups.
Absolute power now stays with only one Super Hero; therefore, it's not tough guessing there shall be graphic violence and blood over a layer of sensual carnality - all in galore; the unexpected relationships and the related emotional pathos as well.
The journal entry approach towards the storytelling brought forth some good narrations and great lines. We don't hear everyday stuff like "A burial in the rain; only your enemies leave roses" or "The night reeks of fornication and bad consciences."
However, Watchmen's insertions of ignited dialogue-slabs and scenes of mayhem and carnage makes the viewer believe it's a reminder of there is a point in bringing up the dark and derisory humanity.
But nonetheless, the sheer energy and hearty effort created an intensely graphic, bloody violent and bloody sexy film. An effects-laden extravaganza on a romantic backdrop and centering on family secrets - targeted young males - you are in for nursing a lasting impression.
