Zack Snyder has returned with his sweeping stylish action for the adaption of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' graphic comic following the life of the costumed hero organization who have been broken up and disbanded after Nixon being elected for a third time. Writing the happening in his journal, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) takes his business into being imprisoned, Doctor Manhattan flees to Mars upon the learning of a nuclear war, while the rest focus on the world they know crumbling upon the rocks.
Some have said that people who have never read the comic may consider this too complex to be appealing, but I've barely even opened it and now it's beaten my top favorite. Once you get a good taste of its atmosphere, there is no point to get out.
