It is a movie with a lot of weird stuff in it. It's about a man with a cigar who gets thrown out a window. He lands and a guy with a weird mask on finds a button with a smiley face and blood. The guy with the weird mask is the kid from the Bad News Bears. And he likes to beat people up if they are bad people. He's quite adamant about it. His name is Roschach.
Rorschach is also the name of tests given to mental patients.
Many comic fans like Rorschach. That is because he is a badass character. Many fans like badass characters. They like characters who speak tersely in grating voices. They find these characters realistic. That is because life is full of men who wear strange masks and fedoras and trenchoats and beat up rooms full of people.
Rorschach is depicted as having an archenemy who is a midget, and who is also a known associate of noted Hepcat Hermit Cosmo Kramer. That part was kinda boss.
Hepcat Hermits might not like The Watchmen. As a comic movie that takes itself very seriously, it sort of goes against the Dementia Squad credo. On the other hand, it does have a lot of weird stuff in it. And other serious comic movies, such as Batman Begins, are favoured by today's discerning Hepcat Hermit.
It does have many of the qualities and attributes we look for in a film. There are costumes, superpowers, a super vehicle that is one of the cutest looking I have ever seen, the already mentioned midget, several groovy chicks, a villain's secret base, a hero's secret headquarters, gadgets and more.
On the other hand there is some unpleasant stuff that is not a lot of fun.
So watch The Watchmen at your own discretion; be advised that is has no talking gorillas in it, but you might enjoy it anyway.
