That Watchmen has turned out to be the most complex, exhilarating and deeply-moving fantasy film since Terry Gilliam’s Brazil surprises nobody on Earth more than me – and, man, did it surprise.
In equal measure, it is an inspired vision of an alternate world that echoes but redefines our own existence.
It’s a subversive yet bracingly humanistic exploration of the role of the superhero in modern literature,
Yet such a supremely adult take on the fetishistic pull of the heightened existence that life as a saviour of society creates, and a wildly exciting adventure story that turns normal people into exaggerated victims of their own creation and then back into mere humans. 
An exploration of the plot would reveal more vast themes, but at this early stage of its release I don’t want to risk lessening the experience for anyone. nice! 
“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.
shut your curtains and get the munchies!! magic
