Watchmen was a phenomenon?




At a time when superhero movies' as beating, one does not stop wondering: Why Watchmen were given phenomenon?

Many critics want to ensure that it is the high content of violence and nudity, in short called "R rated". I say no. Watchmen is for me the best adaptation of a graphic novel - or if want to call it, comic book - which has done so far, even a cut above The Dark Knight. The difference between these two is one: The Cult. While Batman is a figure well known, a story recounted in the media-without detract-Watchmen was not that great background to support the transition to the big screen, of which I am pleased enough by the very nature of the source material.

Gentlemen, Watchmen, Heroes are made for us, not the general public. Want an example?; Here it is: Compare the level of science / technology demonstrated in Iron Man with the Watchmen. IM is a cinch.

Which brings us to another dilemma among the critics: the complexity of his narrative. My verdict?; Lie of the devil.
"Superheroes exist in the real world. The ancient heroes die as their ideals. The economy has collapsed and the government to a new model. Science reaches its highest peak with Dr. Manhattan, and there is no superhero to represent the government because Nixon, destroyed its value. "

The idea of \u200b\u200bthe revolving door is a metaphor brilliant.

Rorschach We understand, because as human beings, we share his perception of good and evil. His way of seeing the world as his mask, black and white polarity as such.

We identify ourselves with the Comedian, because we have the same level of cynicism and often employ methods opposed to objective we want. Because we can not deny that we are animals in captivity in our self-created jungle society.

We understand Dr. Manhattan, because despite being a man of science, shows the depth of his emotional side, because despite being "God" among men, teaches us that man is more fragile than you or me.

And so I can continue to explain, in my view, the depth and greatness will Watchmen. But that's not the point of this topic.

Watchmen, the audience was not as expected, with all respect Zack Snyder, Lords. producers and / or Warner Bros., we only wanted to take another superhero movie to the big screen using a great story as a simple excuse advantage of the success of Batman, Spider-Man and X-Men, which if they were developed properly and because of the nature of the story, less complex, therefore easier to carry, there results .

sounds a bit contradictory to what I said at first, but it is real. The strength of the graphic novel is such that its weak points leading to the big screen, as if they were the great virtue of history, makes a great fit.

For those who do not know, Watchmen, no returning heroes is removed to restore their status in society. Is that superheroes should never exist. They exist because we are morally corrupt and incapable of resolving our conflicts. Nuclear war are trying to stop is almost entirely their fault and was accelerated by its very existence.

I deeply regret not see in the near future a continuation of this great history. But even more regrettable that the industry is not prepared

Good Movies with at least 4 well-known actors




Continuing the theme of Inception, which, apparently, is my topic for the evening, in my life I have seen a Cast as perfect as this movie. What I began to investigate and inquire about good movies with at least 4 players first. Here we go:
Sin City (Clive Owen, Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Rutger Hauer, Mickey Rourke, Elijah Wood, Tommy Flanagan) - Director (s) : Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino - IMDB Rating: 8.3 (# 95 of top 250) - RottenTomatoes Rating: 75% (Visually groundbreaking and terrifically violent.)

Jackie Brown (Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Chris Tucker)- Director(es): Quentin Tarantino - IMDB Rating: 7.6 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 85% (Tarantino's third film, fashioned as a comeback vehicle for star Pam Grier, offers typical wit and charm -- and is typically overstuffed.)

Saving Private Ryan (Tom Hanks, Vin Diesel, Matt Damon, Paul Giamatti) - Director(es): Steven Spielberg - IMDB Rating: 8.5 (#45 del Top 250) - Rottentomatoes Rating: 91% (Anchored by another winning performance from Hanks, Spielberg's unflinchingly realistic war film virtually redefines the genre.)

Featuring outstanding work from an excellent cast that includes Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon, some critics say the film even tops its source material (the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs). The Departedmarks a triumphant return to form for Scorsese; it's his best-reviewed film since GoodFellas.)

Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges) - Director(es): Jon Favreau - IMDB Rating: 8.0 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 93% (Director Jon Favreau and star Robert Downey make this smart, high impact superhero movie one that even non-comics fans can enjoy.)

Jackson) - Director(es): Jon Favreau - IMDB Rating: 7.5 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 75% (It isn't quite the breath of fresh air that Iron Man was, but this sequel comes close with solid performances and an action-packed plot.)

Ocean’s Thirteen (Al Pacino, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, Casey Affleck, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac)- Director(es): Steven Soderbergh - IMDB Rating: 6.9 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 69% (Ocean's Thirteen reverts to the formula of the first installment, and the result is another slick and entertaining heist film.)
