Watchmen (2 Disc + Digital Copy - Exclusive to the UK) Blu Ray

Watchmen is based on arguably the best comic book ever written, so it's bound to be aimed at youngsters, right? Wrong! Director Zack Snyder has triumphed, transforming Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ brilliant comic, Watchmen, into an epic, dark and brooding film with more than a good helping of violence. It's sure to appeal to all you action-adventure junkies out there. The movie version of Watchmen is set in the 1980s where costumed superheroes, who were once part of everyday society, have been outlawed by the government. But when Comedian, one of the former... vigilante heroes is brutally murdered, a very determined masked superhero, Rorschach, investigates the murder and uncovers an even deeper plot to kill all past and present superheroes. Watchmen is a fan-pleasing film although many believed the movie could never live up to the comics' especially in portraying the complex world of costumed crime-fighters, social instability and Cold War paranoia. Snyder's movie does contain more than a few deviations from the original, however, despite all of this, movie-going audiences seem to have fallen in love with this film, but don't just take our word for it, see what you think! Based on the acclaimed graphic novel, "Watchmen" will be brought vividly to life by "300" helmer Zack Snyder. Soon the only question will be...'who's watching the Watchmen?'. [show more]
