Watchmen

This long-in-the-works adaptation of Alan Moore's brilliant graphic novel is set in an alternative 1985, where the world is ticking closer to the brink of nuclear war, and a plot to eliminate a band of ex-crimefighters is instigated. But why? And by whom? It is up to two of those ex-crimefighters to investigate a plot that seems to go beyond the unthinkable. Directed by Zack Snyder (300) and starring Billy Crudup, Malin Akerman, Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Matthew Goode.

“A wildly ambitious, often frustrating, but ultimately successful experiment that will divide audiences.” (Garth Franklin, Dark Horizons)

“A mesmerising and brutalising experience, and will be, for some at least, more than worth the wait.” (Kevin Maher, Times [U.K.])

“Not just another superhero movie. Gripping onto sex, violence and angst, it’s hard to imagine anyone watching the
as faithfully as Zack Snyder’s heartfelt, stylised adap. Uncompromising, uncommercial and unique.” (Jonathan Crocker, Total Film)
