Review of Watchmen. Who watches the Watchmen?

Watchmen, directed by Zack Snyder, tells the almost three hour tale of a band of masked vigilantes and their origins. With naked blue nuclear guys, a crazy guy with a cool voice, and a lot of flashbacks, this movie wasn't half bad. A bit long at times but in the end, Zack Snyder crafted a good production. Sometimes, though, there were flashbacks right after an important event happened and I wouldn't know that it actually was a flashback. Taking place during the cold war in an alternate 1980s America where Nixon was elected for three terms, vigilantes were part of society, and it's okay for a giant nuclear blue man not to where any clothing. I mean, seriously. Was it really necessary for a giant blue wang to be hanging out for two and a half hours? Somebody get that guy some boxers.
The Verdict:
Watchmen dragged on for a few hours and it was hard to follow at times, but in the end it was a good experience and there are even a few things that you'll be able to catch that you couldn't if you've only seen it once. I give it four GIANT BLUE WANGS out of five. 4/5.
