Watchmen

Lately I've watched one of the classics among comic book-based movies about superheros - Watchmen. I was really surprised I hadn't watched it earlier! I don't want to spoil, so I'm not going to tell you a lot, but I want to mention just a few things to encourage you. 

Watchmen is the movie based on comics on the same title. The story is masked policemen, who have been working against criminals during the World War II. Now, almost all of them are retired, it's time of the Cold War, where the whole world is in nuclear danger. If you're interested in history of XX century or you like the post-apo atmosphere, this movie is for you. Watchmen is one of the best film version of a comic book published by DC (as you know, last Superman wasn't very good). Generally, this movie presents people as they are, not black or white, but in many shades of grey. My favourite character is Rorchach, played by Jackie Earle Haley (you may know him from the new Nightmare on Elm Street, where he plays Freddie Krueger). Rorchach is a man with sad past, twisted soul and really dark character. His mask (and his nickname) refers to the Rorchach test - psychological test with inkbkots, created by Hermann Rorchach. Doctor Manhattan is also an interesting character - blue-skinned man, who's forgetting about being a human after his accident in an Intrinsic Field Subtractor. To sum up, there is plenty of different types of heros and heroines, who make this special atmosphere in the movie. I strongly advise you to watch the Watchmen!
