Watchmen



If you think superheroes are a bunch of costumed weirdos, welcome to the world of "Watchmen". Here you will find quite a few (warning, spoiler alert): someone who can see the future and move in space by will but is an emotional zombie, someone who won't hesitate to kill a pregnant woman, someone who makes money by selling super hero models based on himself, oh, and some sort of wonder woman who's only purpose seems to be sleeping with the other superheros (I have actually spared you a few characters, I am sure the movie will cut out some of the politically incorrect scenes).

Still think it is interesting? Then 03/06/09 is your day to watch it on big screen. Yes, it's visually stunning (I had seen the trailer on big screen, very impressive), but just don't ask me why this is the "most celebrated graphical novel of all time". After reading the original, it sounds more like an advice to avoid them all.
