Just watched Watchmen. Awesome show.

Most of the people I know that have watched it found it stupid and a waste of money. But the concept of the whole movie is amazing. Firstly, it deconstructs the stereotype of superheroes, transforming them into mere humans who sin like every other being. Secondly, it questions the value of human life. *Spoiler Alert* At the end of the movie, the sinister plot is finally unveiled, which involves the sacrificial of millions of lives to save billions from a possible nuclear holocaust. Makes one wonder: Can the value of human life be measured by numbers? Does one life worth less than five?

And the character Rorschach, played by Jackie Earle Haley, is just effing cool. I mean, the rough, raspy voice, his unpredictable temperament, his ever-changing ink patterns on his mask. Just so cool. I might even start talking like him.

So if you can just look past the director's fetish with blue male genitals, and the meaningless after-heroic-act sex, it's a definite must-watch. But you will probably have to think over the movie after you watch it to let it sink in.

Definitely not your usual Superhero movie.
