WATCHMEN

Ok, here comes another movie i am highly anticipating after 'Dark Knight'.

Please scroll directly down if you do not wish to read this long synopsis.


"Watchmen" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?"

It's the 1980's and it's a different world. Superheroes have been outlawed, the only ones still in operation under direct control of the United States government. Suddenly, those heroes both still in action and retired find themselves targets by an unseen enemy, who wants to kill them one by one.

A group of heroes, forced into retirement a decade before are called together once again to investigate the murder of one of their own. What they discover an age-old conspiracy to change the balance of power in a world not different from our own.


Basically, Watchmen is about 'retired' superheroes being hunted,
so, they once again grouped up to discover an age-old conspiracy to change the balance of power in the world...
the fun thing is that there is only one person who have superpower.
So, there won't be superpowers fighting each other in an epic scene like X-Men.
But i think it will be a thrilling cool movie based on the trailer.

Here's the trailer:

And i haven't watched it, so, i'll update my info once i watched the movie.
