Regarding THE WATCHMEN, by Alan Moore.

<br><br>

I still have to read the last 4 chapters of the comic books themselves, but I read enough to understand the universe. Turns out, I cut it off at the perfect time, right when the epic action starts, so I was completely blown away. A+ to the writer, and enacters of this epic, epic tale of why mankind in a parallel universe still needs a god to live with itself. Beautifully thought out and exactingly presented. I also enjoyed the soundtrack of the movie which was an additional new element to me. The deus ex machina, as he so readily admits, is the epitomy of superherodome. The superhero exists, and he is American. One of so many sweet, sweet lines from this absolute gem of an idea. Only now has film technology caught up to the point where it can consider reproduction of such madcap ideas as thef earth-shatteringly madcap escapades of a human god in a universe which, while holding astonishingly many parallel elements of our own universe (down to minor details as the comic book itself more lovingly exhibits) is eventually forced to ask itself a question: what to do. And who is there to solve the problem? the smartest man in the universe, alongside the most omnipotent. Infinite power, requiring an infinitely precise solution. Godhood at a razorblade. An epically sweet, wonderfully rendered, and totally worth any wait and expense piece de resistance, Watchmen is the tombstone in many other comic books, which it totally blows away. Superman flies huh? There is a dramatic plot which revolves around the possibility that Dr. Manhattan may give people cancer merely by hanging around. Mankind's fate hangs in his tiny tearful whims, a watchmaker of infinite power governed by the emotional vibrancy of an infant, and the way the story draws its conclusion can only seem natural in retrospect.
