Set in 1985 in an alternate United States, where costume-clad heroes used to be as common as the threat of nuclear war that hangs over the world, Watchmen tells the story of a group of banned and retired crime fighters who reluctantly reunite after one of their colleagues the Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), whose blood-stained smiley-face button serves as the storys iconic linchpin is killed. Now that the film is finally here, after more than two decades of delays, false starts and lawsuits, fans are in for a dizzying thrill. Director Zack Snyder whose other movies, 2004s Dawn of the Dead and 2006s 300, are stylized visual feasts treats the work with all the reverence of a stammering geek. Last year, The Dark Knight forever changed the comic-book movie. Watchmen isnt that good, but Snyders faithful adaptation captures the essence of Moores existential masterpiece. HHH
