THE WATCHMEN

The Watchmen
"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" (Who watch the watchmen?)

Kayaknya film bagus banget nih. Sudah main di Amerika. Sebelum nonton lihat reviewnya dulu.

Mick LaSalle, Chronicle Movie Critic, * * * *
Director Zack Snyder is beginning to look like the best thing to happen to the action movie in this decade. His new picture, "Watchmen," achieved a psychological sophistication that "The Dark Knight" aimed for but didn't quite reach.

Kyle Smith, New York Post, * * * *

WATCH IT! DARK COMIC IS THRILLINGLY SOPHISTICATED.

Despite the burden of a story in which "it's too late, always has been, always will be," "Watchmen" levitates with a prophetic fury worthy of the Jimi Hendrix cover of "All Along the Watchtower" that blasts over a key scene. Other fantasy movies are playing checkers. This one plays chess, with grandmaster panache.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Suntimes, * * * *
The film is rich enough to be seen more than once.

That level of symbolism is coiling away beneath all superheroes. What appeals with Batman is his humanity; despite his skills, he is not supernormal. “Watchmen” brings surprising conviction to these characters as flawed and minor gods.
