Watchmen (2009) (Director's Cut)
Hmm, mixed feelings. Mainly because the movie tries to position itself above the average superhero action flick, playing on philosophy, the nature of existence, and the differences in human worldviews, and therefore I had to evaluate it more critically. Well, I'm familiar with Snyder's films, so I knew roughly what to expect. Another complicating factor is that the shortened version, which is more than an hour shorter, differs significantly from the full version.
On the one hand, I noticed several stunning plot arcs with a worthy dark atmosphere, and on the other hand, there's an excessive emphasis on the pompous glorification of hopelessness (as a resident of the CIS, I find this artificiality of dark colors very noticeable). At the same time, the narrative is quite drawn out, and even tedious in certain places. I had highlighted the moments that were later cut, and I can say that I don't fully agree with all of them. Some of them are a plus for the film, while others are a definite minus. Nevertheless, it has a decent ending, which smooths out the, in my opinion, unsuccessful second half of the film.
6/10 +1 for a good attempt
