Date Night Movie Review #2 - Watchmen

This week's movie is the super awesome, super hero movie, Watchmen.

Starring Billy Cruddup

Synopsis: Based on the popular graphic novel, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 where Nixon is still president and the cold war with Russia is at a breaking point. A group of outlawed superheroes try to uncover a plot to kill all former "masks" while trying to save humanity from nuclear holocaust.

If you like superheros and awesome special effect and have a LOT of patients, then you will really enjoy Watchmen. It is very, very, very long - almost 3 hours long. Lord of the Rings long. It's a good thing we watched the dvd - had to pause for potty breaks! But none-the-less, it is relatively good. The characters are well developed (part of the reason it's so long) and the storyline is engrossing. If you can get past a blue muscley man with a wagging penis, then you should be alright.
