Watchmen
Directed by Zack Snyder
In een alternatief 1985 zijn superhelden in de ban gedaan door de Amerikaanse federale overheid. Waar voorheen superhelden tot het algemene Amerikaanse straatbeeld behoorden, heeft de overheid het superheldenbestaan illegaal verklaard. Wanneer één van zijn oud- collega's in deze onrustige dagen van de Koude Oorlog wordt vermoord, start de gemaskerde burgerwacht Rorschach een onderzoek. Langzaam maar zeker brengt dit een duister complot aan het licht.

Watchmen Ratings & Reviews
- ayayron23 februari 2025I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.
- Daniel Gustavsson11 oktober 2024The best "superhero" movie ever.
- Andrew Clout4 juli 2025Excellent. Didn’t appreciate it when it first was released so rewatching it was a treat.
- Zokkiie22 maart 2026Gone back to this a few times and it still hits every time. As someone who loves the comic, it just feels like it gets it—no watering things down, just fully committing to the tone. Everything looks amazing, super stylized but still grounded enough to work, and the performances really carry the weight of it. The soundtrack and overall atmosphere just pull you in even more. It’s dark, a bit brutal, and doesn’t really try to be easy or crowd-pleasing, which honestly makes it better. One of those movies I’ll keep rewatching without getting tired of it.
- tnt.psd19 februari 2026This is the greatest comic book movie ever made. The book is excellent, it’s my second favorite book behind the catcher and the rye.
- CravanThePugilist21 januari 2026As much as I want to type it, if you haven't seen the movie (or read the comic).... I don't want to spoil anything. So.... besides literally everything in the film (& I mean that. I literally cried in the cinema when that Dylan song plays at the beginning)... enjoy Rorschach in prison. One of the greatest quotes in history.
- Eithan Hopkins3 januari 2026This is one of those films where you either love it or hate it, I'm on the love side...
- TheDesertLad19 juni 2025Given 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!
- mickerdoo13 juli 2025With no previous knowledge, this movie creates stunning characters with gorgeous backdrops. Captivating.
- Einie27 december 2025This could have worked.... but it didnt
- Hexcas29 augustus 2025Great movie, incredible talent. Zach Snyder and his vision were breathtaking. An almost shot for shot from the Graphic Novel, highly recommended
- ProfSolon17 augustus 2025By far undeniably, the best superhero movie ever made. It's a shame that they canceled the second one. Because this one did so poorly at first.But now it has a cult following.
- The Gutter Monkey17 oktober 2024One of the most intelligent, thought-provoking, and beautifully directed "superhero movies" ever made, adapted from one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking "superhero comics" ever made.
- MikefIix17 maart 2025The absolutely worst move I ever watched by far. I managed to stay till the end in the cinema, because I thought my girlfriend enjoyed it. By the end she said she only stayed in because she thought I enjoyed it. It was terrible, boring, uninspired and dragging, pretending to be deep, yet uninteresting. The fans of the comic book will fight you for that opinion. Save yourself time. It's boring from the beginning and it's not getting any better.
