Killer Avatar Movie Toys to Know About
The latest movie project of James Cameron promises to be the most thrilling and spectacular movie that you have ever seen before in your life. It is of course, The Avatar Movie. And like most high budget and extremely popular movies, there are a lot of Avatar movie toys being manufactured that children and collectors want to reenact battle scenes seen in the movie.
And I shouldn't forget to mention that the faraway planet in question is called, Pandora. It is inhabited by strange and fascinating creatures that can become violent too. And there are indigenous humanoids that are 12 feet tall, blue skinned, with a tail and glow in the dark. Well, most of the creatures found in Pandora glow in the dark and you will find that a lot of the Avatar movie toys also can glow in the dark too! But I'm getting ahead of myself here...
You will also find action figurines as well as the mechanical toys of the marines that were sent in by the mining consortium to subdue and conquer the Na'vi people so the mining operation can continue unabated.
So let's get into specifics here. The first Avatar movie toy I want to talk about is the most popular one, the Avatar RDA Scorpion Gunship. This neat Scorpion Chopper has 24 points of articulations (moving parts) with dual firing projectiles, 4 spinning blades and rotating gun barrels. It is packed for action and is sure to please any child (or collector) that wants to enact some of the actions seen in the Avatar movie. However, I have to warn you, the Avatar toys don't come with the figures. Those are sold separately. It is a little irritating that you need to buy one more thing to make the set complete. But I can see it from the manufacturer's point of view too. It is better to offer a wide range of figures and then have the fans pick out the one they like to match with their toys.
Having said that, onwards to the next Avatar toys! The next two toys are the fierce and dangerous creatures of Pandora. The first is the Thanator creature. This is a very strange looking creature that has six legs, 9 inch fangs and a face only a mother could love. Truth be told, it is probably much safer to get the toy instead of showing up on Pandora for the simple reason. You will still be alive.
And I also wanted to mention that most of the genuine Avatar toys, if not all of them, come with i-Tags which allows the owner access to their "virtual" toy on a special website that allows you to vicariously live through them on the virtual Pandora. I think this is a super idea that is going to make owning one or more of these toys much, much more fun.
The second creature that you may want to get is the flying creature that is all claws and teeth, the Leonopteryx. This is a pretty large toy, over 20 inch wing-span and can carry any Avatar figurine on it.
The next cool Avatar movie toy I wanted to tell you about is the RDA Combat Amp Suit that the solders get into to fight the denizens of Pandora. It has lots of articulations and can fire multiple projectiles. It can hold any Avatar figurines (so I'm told but check to make sure). And of course, you get that i-Tag so you can activate your virtual toy in the virtual world of Pandora on the Internet.
Another toy is the winged creature that is also fierce is the Mountain Banshee creature. This is the animal the Na'vi warriors bond with as a rite of passage.
I want to talk about three more toys and then you can check them out. The next Avatar toy is the RDA Combat Grinder Vehicle. This is a very cool toy that is based on the armed land vehicle that travels over rough and uneven terrain. It has cool weapons and is capable of going at high speeds. Yes, you can put in an Avatar figurine and yes, you get an i-Tag too so you can explore the wild and woolly planet of Pandora.
The next to last toy is the Dire Horse creature (or Direhorse). In real life on Pandora, this horse is big as an elephant, has six legs and has two antennae. They run very fast and can turn on a dime. But don't worry, you don't have to master the art of riding one of these huge creatures. You can get the toy instead! And sure, figures can ride them and you get an i-Tag along with this Avatar toy too.
The last toy I wanted to discuss with you is the RDA Jake Sully action figure. Jake is on a wheel chair because he cannot walk. But that won't stop him from using the Avatar Program to become mobile and whole again in the wonderful adventure of a lifetime on Pandora.

Checking Out the Hello Kitty Story
Hello Kitty is the name given to a simple cartoon character developed by the Japanese company Sanrio and which has developed into a global, political and cultural icon since its inception in 1974. The line-drawn Hello Kitty cat burst onto the scene in a line of greeting cards created by the company but soon spread like wildfire as Japanese consumers everywhere embraced the gently drawn feline art character. Soon a whole line of merchandise displaying Hello Kitty emerged, featuring dolls, shirts, toys, school supplies, vacuum cleaners, home appliances and much more. Within a few years the Hello Kitty icon was splashed all over Japan and then quickly entered the global marketplace.
Commercialization of the Hello Kitty concept expanded to major product lines and franchises. Taiwan-based Eva Air emblazoned Hello Kitty on their airlines and their ticketing materials. In the year 2000 McDonald's in Singapore began giving away Hello Kitty dolls with their Value meals, and generated such a mad dash of customers eager to get their hands on the product that riots ensued, a wildly successful product craze not seen since the early days of the Cabbage Patch phenomenon here in the United States. Sanrio expanded on the commercial success of the Hello Kitty product line by creating the Sanrio Puroland theme park based in Tama New Town, Tokyo Japan. Like a Japanese version of Disney World, the theme park features all of the usual attractions, restaurants, rides that one would expect, except with Hello Kitty replacing Mickey Mouse.
As with all mass market concept product crazes, some people might be left wondering how such a simple character as the Hello Kitty character could hold such an appeal to so many people. There is nothing spectacular about the story line of the Helly Kitty character. Here complete name is Kitty White, and she dwells with her parents and her sister Mimmy in London, England. However, the story line does not seem to be the real appeal-it's the abstraction of the character. Hello Kitty is not an embellished character in any way, and so people of all cultures and age group can effectively read into her whatever they want.
Japanese fascination with cartoons extends into adult life, and so it's not uncommon for a magical character to hold a spell over an entire population of people regardless of their age. The Japanese are a highly visual culture, and the Hello Kitty character plays into that aspect of their society quite well. Because Kitty is such a simple visual expression of an idea, she catches on quickly with people of all educational and ethnic backgrounds.
It is this aspect of the Hello Kitty phenomenon that lends itself easily to transforming it into an icon or a mascot representing a group's values or ideals. In this sense, it is no surprise that non-profit organizations have adopted Hello Kitty as the emblem of their organization's culture and philosophy. For example, Hello Kitty earned the award UNICEF Special Friend of Children and in Hello Kitty in 2008 was named ambassador of Japanese tourism in Hong Kong and China.
Hello Kitty has commercial admirers as well. The pop singer Mariah Carey famously decorated the rooms of her house with Hello Kitty curtains. Ms. Carey also collects the Hello Kitty products, a fascination that she shares with Drew Barrymore and the Hello Kitty picture has appeared on the album cover of Lisa Loeb.
Commercial fads seem to come and go, but there is a reason for Hello Kitty's enduring success. The charming, simple smile and the positive optimism radiated by this cartoon character seems to reach into the psyche of a critical mass of people, who in their own way interpret her subjectively in the light of their own culture and values. Because of this, it is not likely that the Hello Kitty phenomenon will disappear anytime soon, and Sanrio will continue to do well selling this commercial concept.

Naruto Character Profile - Hyuga Neji
Neji is a member of the Hyuga clan and possesses the Byakugan. He is a child prodigy and a genius. But as a member of a branch family of the Hyuga clan he is ineligible to learn their most secret techniques. Despite this however, he has managed to deduce their workings simply through observation, and has learned many of them.
Neji is highly proficient with the Gentle Fist style of hand-to-hand combat, which, in combination with the byakugan is used to attack an enemy's Chakra pathway system (the network of vessels which carry chakra), thus causing internal injury.
On the third birthday of Hinata (his cousin) when Neji was four years old, he was branded with the Main family's Juinjutsu which serves two purposes. The first is to seal their byakugan ability when they die (shielding its secrets from enemies) and the second is to control the branch family members with the ability to destroy their brain cells with a secret hand seal.
A night soon after this, an incident occurred involving the main family's Hiashi (Neji's uncle and his father's twin brother) which could result in war for Konoha. To avoid this, Neji's father sacrificed himself. Neji mistakenly believed that the main branch had forced him to do so, and from this he developed a fierce grudge against them.
His feeling of oppression from the main family resulted in him adopting a fatalism philosophy - "fate is something decided at birth and no matter what one does, people cannot escape their destiny". Neji attempts to condescend Naruto during their Chuunin exam match saying "that someone who is weak will always remain weak" but this fails and he goes on to be defeated. Naruto then suggests that if a "failure" like himself can change his destiny, a "genius" like Neji can, too.
After this match, and having been proven wrong, he abandons his philosophy. He also learns the truth about his father's sacrifice and is given the opportunity to resolve his estranged relationships with members of the main family by training with their leader (his uncle).
Neji is a member of Team Guy, along with Tenten and Rock Lee. During the two and a half year time skip between Part 1 and Part 2, when all the other rookie team members have advanced to Chuunin, Neji has gone one step further and advanced to Jounin - further emphasizing his abilities as a genius.
He is one of the best examples of the true talent which resides in Konoha, along with the likes of Naruto and Shikamaru. He trains constantly and vigorously. This is one character which deserves your attention.
Banshee 7-10 of Avatar with Navi : Flight & Gliding with New GLDAB
Avatar's Banshee 7-10 : Good Fight & Gliding with Navi. Banshee is aflight creature appearing in Avatar. This creature which James Cameron created has a suitable design for flight. Hind legs work well as inverted V-shaped V-tail. Flight manoeuverability of Banshee7-10 is very good, and gliding is good. I added carbon rod to wings and Flight was better.

RPG PC Games
History
The earliest computer role-playing games began in 1975 as an offshoot of early university mainframe text-based RPGs on PDP-10 and Unix-based computers, starting with Dungeon and graphical RPGs on the PLATO system, pedit5 and dnd, games inspired by role-playing games. Other influences during this period were text adventures, Multiple-User Dungeons (MUDs) and roguelike games. Some of the first graphical RPGs after pedit5 and dungeons and dragons, were orthanc, avathar (later renamed avatar), oubliette, dungeons of degorath, baradur, emprise, bnd, sorcery, moria, and dndworld, all of which were developed and became widely popular on the PLATO system during the latter 1970s, in large part due to PLATO's speed, fast graphics, nationwide network of terminals, and large number of players with access to those terminals. These were followed by (but did not always lead directly to) games on other platforms, such as Akalabeth (1980) (which gave rise to the well-known Ultima series), and Wizardry.
The first RPG PC games offered a single player experience. The popularity of multiplayer modes in these games rose sharply during the mid-1990s. Diablo (1996) was one of the games that heavily influenced this boost in popularity. It combined RPG and action game elements, and featured an Internet multiplayer mode that allowed up to four players to enter the same world and fight monsters, trade items, or fight against each other. Massive Multiplayer Online RPGs (MMORPG) introduced huge worlds with open-ended gameplay and thousands of interactive characters (both player and computer-controlled).
In 1997, a new Internet fad began. Influenced by console RPGs, a large group of young programmers and aficionados began creating and sharing independent RPG PC games, based mostly on the gameplay and style of the older SNES and Sega Genesis games. The majority of such games owe to simplistic software development kits such as the Japanese RPG Maker series.
A steadily increasing number of non-RPG video games have adopted aspects traditionally seen in RPGs, such as experience point systems, equipment management, and choices in dialogue. The blending of these elements with a number of different game engines and gameplay styles have created a myriad of hybrid game categories. These hybrid games are commonly formed by mixing popular gameplay elements featured in other genres, such as first-person shooters, platformers, and real-time strategy games.

Movie Review - Edge of Darkness (2010)
Mel Gibson's got a new movie out, called The Edge of Darkness. He plays a Boston police detective and is visited by his daughter who is shot on his front porch after she gets mysteriously sick and needs to go to the doctor.
To be honest, this movie made me yawn a few times. I went back and forth, trying to figure out if it was supposed to be a serious movie or some sort of joke. The fight scenes (the few offered) were quite comic bookish and the filming seemed strange. The problem, though, is the story just drug on and on.
I have always liked Mel Gibson movies. He is a legend with movies like Lethal Weapon 1, 2, 3, 4 and great films like Braveheart and The Passion. There is a reason why he is very popular around the world. But this newest movie just seemed to lack that realistic element most of his movies have, not to mention the usual pounding action that we've all come to love.
The Edge of Darkness, although filmed in 2010 and set during the same time, seems old and antiquated. Most of the time I thought I was watching some 1980's cop movie, instead of one more relevant.
With a terrible plot, terrible filming and even worse ending, I'm glad I didn't pay money to see this film. I feel robbed, just losing the two hours it took to struggle through it. You might consider foregoing this flick and maybe read a book or something.

Rurouni Kenshin
Rurouni Kenshin is an animated story that combines passion, intelligence, respect, and fantastical combat situations. This anime is based off a manga which in my opinion has a better storyline. Nonetheless with the combination of anime movies and the first two arcs of the anime, it is fantastic.
Story of rurouni kenshin begins when kenshin was called shinta as a child. He lost his parents and later became a student of a martial arts teacher. During that training period of many years he joined japan's army in order to help to provide justice in a time period of chaotic revolution. Due to his exceptional skills with a sword he was involved in the killing of many men who revolted against the government. In the midst of all that killing he lost his prospective on justice and his value for life. Once he realized he became the very thing he was fighting against he left the revolution and became a wondering swordsman with a reverse blade sword. Ten years later his story begins, wandering the streets in hopes to quiet the pain and sorrow he feels for the sins he has committed.
This story of redemption is one I can relate to and I think many people can as well. Plus, interjected in the story arcs are amazing fight scenes with amazing scenery from late 19th century Japan. And did I mention the fight scenes! Not only are the physical movements terrific the reasoning and rational and analyzes of technique and the passion of the fighters is completely engrossing!

Samurai Deeper Kyo - Volume 1 Episodes 1 to 7 is Released
Based on the manga series by Akimine Kamijyo, Samurai Deeper Kyo is a Japanese anime TV series that's set to be released in the UK on the 13th of July. The DVD, which will include episodes 1-7 of the 26 episode series, follows the story of Kyoshiro and Demon Eyes Kyo among other characters in an epic sword fighting tale set in the 1600s.
The first episode opens with the epic battle scene of Sekigahara, where Kyoshiro and Demon Eyes Kyo, two samurai warriors, are engaged in a duel. This is then interrupted by a falling star hitting the ground and consuming both Kyoshiro and Demon Eyes Kyo.
The plot then moves forward in time (by four years) and a female bounty hunter by the name of Yuya is on the prowl for Demon Eyes Kyo. She discovers Kyoshiro instead, who is now a medicine man with no memory of his previous life as the most deadly warrior.
As Yuya recognises him, she proceeds to take him into custody. However, a fearsome snake monster that has been hunting Kyoshiro attacks them both. The plot then takes a twist and we discover that Kyoshiro has the soul of Demon Eyes Kyo inside him and with a bit of persuasion in battle, the warrior that is Demon Eyes Kyo rages deep within to win the fight and save Yuya.
From that moment on, every time Kyoshiro enters a battle, the fury of Demon Eyes Kyo is awakened inside him. It turns out that Demon Eyes Kyo is now looking to find his earthly body to return his soul to it's rightful place.
With epic sword fighting scenes and high quality animation, Samurai Deeper Kyo is a fantasy story with many twists and turns. The TV series has also been turned into a Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS game which is hugely popular. With the release of this new DVD in the UK, the English audience will now get to see their favourite characters battle it out on their screens whenever they wish.
Future releases are expected, but as of now, dates are unknown. I, like many other anime fans, have been eagerly awaiting this release. Directed by Junji Nishimura (Ranma ½), we can expect an all round good interpretation of the original manga which collected over 38 volumes.
If you're interested in this release, you'll be pleased to hear that there's not long to wait - Samurai Deeper Kyo Volume 1 will be released on DVD by MVM on 13th July 2009 and will be priced at £15.99.

The Best Animated Movies of 2009
In early 2010 The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences will again award one animated film the best picture of the year. The category has only existed since 2001 and is awarded only if there are at least eight animated feature films released in that year. In past years this competition has been dominated by one film company, Pixar. Will 2010 be the same? Lets look at this years main contenders for Best Animated Film.
Up
Why not start with Pixar. In the last years their films have dominated this category and there have been rumblings that some of their films should in fact compete with life action films for Best Picture of the year. Their films are that good. Winners in the past few years have included The Incredibles, Finding Nemo and Wall-E.
This year, their film Up has garnered the highest praise from critics being called the best animated film since, well...since Wall-e. An old widower sets out to achieve his wife's lifelong dreams by floating his house with thousands of balloons and travelling to South America.
Ponyo
Hayao Miyazaki is one of the greatest and most successful film makers in Japan's history. Like Pixar, Miyazaki's movies are constantly on lists for the best films of the year, each and every year and if you come across a list of the top 10 animated films of all time chances are there will be more than one of his films represented. Miyazaki has won only once before in this category for the masterpiece, Spirited Away. This year his retelling of Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid garnered praise from all circles, even if not quite living up to his previous best.
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs
Adapted from a children's book with the same bizarre name this film is about honouring the strange and unique facets of humanity and how human ingenuity has the opportunity to solve seemingly impossible problems. At least that's my take on it. Also a lot of big food falls from the sky. Highly regarded by most critics the film was produced by Sony Pictures Animation who have had previous nominees including Surf's Up.
Coraline
Adapted from a book by Neil Gaiman this is a stop motion animated film produced by Laika films and directed by Henry Selick. Coraline is the story of a young girl who discovers an alternate reality where she finds another set of parents who at first seem to be everything she has ever wished for. As this is a rather gothic dark piece you can imagine things don't stay that way. The film was highly regarded by critics not only for its story but the beauty of the animation technique.
Princess And The Frog
Surely this will be the academy's sentimental favourite. Disney Animation Studio's first 2D animated film in six years and their first since amalgamating with Pixar, garnered praise from critics worldwide. A twist on the traditional tale where a young princess kisses a frog who turns out to be a prince under a curse, this film is notable as its protagonist, Tiana, is Disney's first African-American princess character. Given the studio's salient place in animation they have never won the Oscar for best animated film.
It has been a rich year for animated feature films in 2009 and other possible films in contention include The Fantastic Mr Fox with outside chances from Astro Boy and Monsters vs. Aliens.

Become a Smart Shopper For Collectible Action Figures
Whether you're new to action figure collecting or want to increase your buying sense, it's wise to gain as much knowledge as possible about buying and preserving the value of your collection. Collecting begins with buying, and the smarter a shopper you are, the more likely you'll end up with a collection with lasting value. Here are some basic tips to find great figure collectibles for your favorite comic book hero, sports legend memorabilia, music legends figures, or whatever appeals to you.
Start with Knowledge
Learn as much as possible about action figures and collecting in general. Read magazines and use the Internet to find out how other collectors find valuable items. Gain access to little known secrets by speaking with action figure collectors in online forums and newsgroups. Subscribe to a few newsletters or e-zines that offer weekly collector tips and resources.
And don't stop there...narrow your research to certain action figures you'd like to collect. For instance, if you want to start a SCI-FI collection, research items such as Star Wars action figures, Transformers toys, Star Trek figures, etc. Perhaps you want to focus on movie memorabilia. In this case, you might consider Avatar movie toys or Harry Potter memorabilia. The key is to research specific categories of interest to find the best information about your desired items.
Save Your Money
Instead of buying up every item you find, save your money and be patient as you shop for action figures. At first glance, it might seem that an item is rare and will never be available to you again, but waiting a bit might give you something even better. Successful collectors understand the importance of shopping around and researching before taking that dive into their wallet!
Watch Out for Scalpers
Scalpers operate by purchasing a large number of highly advertised or low-run collectibles off the retail shelves, and then selling them at two or three times the retail price. Though this practice is technically not illegal, it does cause the after-market pricing of action figures to be extremely high. The best way to avoid scalpers is to monitor local stores to see if this might be happening in your town. Or, simply buy your items online and compare retail pricing before you shop to be sure you're getting a fair price.
Willingness to Share
Be friendly to other collectors and don't be afraid to share good buys or valuable information with others. They might return the favor some day and help you obtain a hard-to-find item. Other collectors are simply enjoying their hobby as you are...they are not necessarily competitors. It's a big world out there, and many folks just enjoy certain figures!
So the next time you find out where to buy some rare Star Wars action figures, or a great site to buy affordable McFarlane figures, share your good news with others online or even those who live just around the corner! You might even decide to start an online newsletter revealing tips on collecting sports legends memorabilia, or figures of music legends or comics such as DC Universe or Marvel legends. Whatever your hobby, I'm sure there are hundreds (or thousands) of people on the Web who share the same excitement.
Use these tips to find great buys on action figures and save time and money by shopping online!

Avatar Aang's Staff
Avatar Aang's Staff Review
We just purchased this staff for my son as part of a halloween costume. Needless to say, he's already enjoyed it immensely. He especially likes the whipping sounds it makes whenever he moves/tilts the staff. It makes for great imaginative play alone and with his playmates (or mom and dad!). He has some difficulty pushing the button hard enough to open up both the top and lower wings, but I can open both with ease. My son is only four and doesn't have a lot of hand strength yet. Still, he loves playing with it and we love to watch him have so much fun. I do question the 89.99 price tag. I ordered it from this site two weeks ago for 14.99, which I thought was a steal. I'd have paid a bit more for it, but certainly not more than -40.
Avatar Aang's Staff Feature
- Aang's Transforming Staff will allow boys to act out their own Aang adventures at home
- The toy will have two modes of SFX: battle action SFX when in the staff mode and flying SFX when in the glider mode
- This is the shelvable version of the item
- Avatar Action Figures

Avatar Aang's Staff Overview
If you enjoy the popular Nickelodeon show "Avatar: The Last Airbender," you'll have fun acting out your own Avatar adventures at home.
With the push of a button, Aang's Battle Staff transforms into a glider. Features two modes: battle action with sound effects when in the staff mode, and flying sound effects when in the glider mode. Requires 3 "AA" batteries (included). Measures 23" long.

Animation Career Paths - A Look at the Storyboard Artist
The storyboard is the visual shot-by-shot translation of a script and is the basis for the entire production process that follows, including design, background and layout, animation, and post production. Despite changing technology, storyboards are still mostly drawn by hand.
Storyboards represent the finished product long before great time and expense goes into a project. The storyboard artist, working in the style of the production, maintains storytelling continuity, breaks down the script into scenes or shots, establishes the size relationships between characters and props, and indicates the acting by hitting strong poses on each story point. In addition, the storyboard artist is often the first to rough out new background locations, characters, and props. A storyboard artist balances strong drawing skills with a good knowledge of anatomy, acting, directing, staging, and the ability to think creatively and quickly. With such commanding skills, story-board artists often develop into animation directors.
Veteran storyboard artist and co-creator of Frederator/Nickelodeon's Call Me Bessie!, Diane Kredensor, describes the daily duties of a storyboard artist, "First, you go through the script and thumbnail out your shots. Then you pitch your thumbnails to the storyboard supervisor or animation director for notes and changes. From there, you flesh it out, adding the acting, into a full rough storyboard. Some productions already have the voices recorded and the board artist will board to track. Otherwise, you create (draw) the acting and the voice actor match your board. Once your rough board is approved by the director, you make it pretty, putting everything on model, and then you're done.
What kind of training and skills does a storyboard artist need to develop to start out and to keep advancing in her career? According to Diane Kredensor, you want to be a good draftsman, able to draw the human figure in a variety of poses. " Other skills should include strong storytelling, cinematography, staging and composition. Storyboards should clearly communicate ideas to the entire production team, so strong communication skills are an important asset".
All the experts agree that the most intensive learning takes place on the job. The more experience you have out there working with other people's good boards, the better your own boards become.

The Watchmen Comic Book Movie Review
If you have been living in a cave or haven't visited the cinema in the last year or so let me introduce you to the Watchmen. The Watchmen is set in an alternative America where costumed superheroes roam freely among us, however this all changes when the government cracks down on the superheroes, who are then looked upon as vigilantes.
After one of the Watchmen known as the comedian is killed the Watchmen reunite to ultimately prevent their own destruction and possibly a nuclear holocaust, however as the plot thickens so does the mystery and betrayal surrounding the Watchmen.
The Watchmen has been called an unfilmable comic book movie adaptation, so Zack Snyder had is work cut out from the very start. Snyder who created the equally as stunning '300' movie doesn't disappoint either. Just like the 300 the Watchmen is visually stunning and the visual effects are equally as impressive. From the get go this movie feels like what I call an event movie, a movie that should only be watched in the cinema because of its epic proportions from visual effects to the impressive musical score. The Watchmen don't fail in any of the above categories through out the whole film.
The cast of the Watchmen are all equally as strong as the next; it seams Snyder as gone for acting talent in this movie rather that just casting Hollywood stars that you may think you would see in a blockbuster movie such as the Watchmen. All the cast do a good job to convince you that what you are seeing on screen is believable and there's no where throughout the movie that had me thinking come on this is to unrealistic even for a comic book movie, and I think that's saying a lot when there is a giant blue man through out the entire piece.
If you're not a fan of comic book movies then that no big deal as the action and particularly the fight scenes in this movie are very impressive indeed and feels like you could be watching the latest installment of a James bond movie, from the hand to hand combat to the destructible sets there's something here for every action fan to keep them happy through the film.
Having said all the above positive points I have to move onto the negative, this movie is around 3 hours long, this in its self isn't a bad thing as if kept interesting like lets say The Dark Knight then there's no problem, however I do feel like some of the scenes in the movie felt like they were there to fill some gaps, like night owl trying and having sex with silver specter twice, however that's only a little problem.
Another gripe I have with this movie is that we have Dr. Manhattan a blue god like person who can pretty much do anything including changing the tone of his skin within a couple of seconds but he must choose to constantly walk around butt naked showing his penis to everyone, this isn't really a problem but it does feel weird that this godlike person can transport himself to mars, crush tanks, change skin color, change into suits within seconds but he can't seam to put a pair of pants on.
People who aren't familiar with the source material may also find the narrative structure confusing, but I'm sure any able minded person will be able to figure out what's going on in this movie, so it should not subtract from the Watchmen experience.
So the question is who watches the Watchmen? I believe you should. I award the Watchmen movie 3/5 stars.
Thanks for reading.
