Watchmen
Aventure à la fois complexe et mystérieuse sur plusieurs niveaux, "Watchmen: Les Gardiens" se passe dans une Amérique alternative de 1985 où les super-héros font partie du quotidien et où l'Horloge de l'Apocalypse - symbole de la tension entre les États-Unis et l'Union Soviétique - indique en permanence minuit moins cinq. Lorsque l'un de ses anciens collègues est assassiné, Rorschach, un justicier masqué un peu à plat mais non moins déterminé, va découvrir un complot qui menace de tuer et de discréditer tous les super-héros du passé et du présent. Alors qu'il reprend contact avec son ancienne légion de justiciers - un groupe hétéroclite de super-héros retraités, seul l'un d'entre-eux possède de véritables pouvoirs - Rorschach entrevoit un complot inquiétant et de grande envergure lié à leur passé commun et qui aura des conséquences catastrophiques pour le futur. Leur mission est de protéger l'humanité... Mais qui veille sur ces gardiens ?

Given this film was made by Zack Snyder, I came into this film with low expectations. My previous viewings included the DC films (none I liked) and 300 (a movie I did like), so to be suggested that Zack Snyder made a good movie over superheroes not being symbols of good and justice *before* the MCU really took off? Got to me kidding me.
However, the man pulled it off. I watched this with a good friend of mine who pointed out the differences the movie did vs the comic and to AGREE with Zack's changes was a delight. I was hooked and despite sitting through the THREE AND A HALF hour Ultimate Cut I was pretty engaged throughout. No need for sequals, remakes, reboots on this one. This might be the most definitive edition of this story you can do. Not to mention the CGI aged way more gracefully which didn't take me out of the movie too much.
To anyone a fan of the superhero genre I say this is a MUST WATCH. Time to give Sucker Punch and Dawn of the Dead a watch!
