Watchmen – Podcast Review

“Watchmen” is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the “Doomsday Clock” – which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union – is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion – a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers – Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity… but who is watching the Watchmen?”

   Saw it last night, enjoyed it quite a lot.

   Have to admit that I laughed at parts where no-one else did – specifically the scene where little kid rorschach sets upon his bullies.

   reading the graphic novel, I thought it was fairly obvious who Rorschach was… I called it after the graveyard scene…

   as for the film, I enjoyed it a lot… I didn’t even notice how time flew by… I’m waiting for the Extended DVD now
