You’ll Watch the Watchmen Over and Over


This was one of those films that I never really has any intention on seeing. It just happened that all of my friends were going and asked me to join so I looked at it as a night out of the home and away from the kids! Now, I am so glad I did and I anxiously await the release of the DVD later this month, in fact I have already pre-ordered it.

The Watchmen is based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. It takes place during an alternate 1895, where the Cold War is still present and Richard Nixon still holds the Presidential office. This is a film that no only has action but an intense and well developed plot on many levels.

This is more then just comic book characters on the big screen, it is comic characters mixed with amazing visual effects and action that will keep you on the edge of your seat. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the film was that it was geared towards adult audiences, unlike most movies that are adapted from comic books.

Now the final features of the DVD information have not been released, however it is said to have a lot of extras and bonuses which will total up to two hours of extras. Not to mention the fact that there is rumor of an ultimate edition to follow which may even show different versions of this movie, which would just be incredible if they were to do that.

Now this DVD is already scheduled for release in the US on July 27, 2009, but the good news is that you can pre-order it, even the Blu-ray edition, which means that you will have it sent to you as soon as they are out. Doing this insures that you wont have to risk heading to the store to get it only to find that they are out of stock. This is a great action flick and one you should definitely see, or see again.
