Watchmen Film Review

The first "big" film of the year, based on a comic, with superheroes, should have been a stunner, but instead stuttered and stumbled all over the place. The story has an under lying US/Soviet streak set in the 80's with nuclear global meltdown as the plot threat. The heroes don't really seem to have any powers, are sometimes a bit twisted, and certainly earn the film its 18 certificate in certain scenes! A very dark film that didn't really get going and not thrilling us in any particular way.
