Watchmen

CriticsCritics: 60
AudienceAudience: 7.5

In an alternate 1985, costumed vigilantes have been outlawed and forced into retirement. When a former masked hero is murdered, a determined investigator brings the scattered group back together, uncovering a dangerous conspiracy against a world already strained by political tension and the threat of nuclear war.

My take

You’ll like this if you want a dark, adult superhero mystery with political tension, moral questions, memorable characters, and bold style; Not for you if you prefer lighter, faster, straightforward comic-book entertainment.
