I decided to rent this off of the PSN this week. I watched it tonight and thought it was good.
The premise of the story is set in 1982. The fiction part is thta nixon is on his 3rd term about to go to 4. Nuclear holocost is about to start and the only hope for America is a blue fellow by the name of Dr. Manhattan a physicist that was apart of a horrible accident that turned him into a God by earthly standards.
While this is all going on The Comedian is murdered and a character by the name of Rorshack is trying to figure out who did it and why. Turns out that everything is connected in the end. Surprise twist of course.
The movie starts out fairly slow, because it goes into backgrounds of the characters and mainly The Comedian. But after a "Cinemax like" sex scene between Birdman and The Silk Specter, which I might add is GREAT, the action picks up and there are some very nice fight scenes.
If you have a chance to rent it I would suggest it. But expect something different then what the previews suggested.
I would recommend renting before buying, if this is the type of movie you have not watched before. When I say "this type", I mean it is a movie based off of a graphic novel. Which is not up to some peoples liking since there is over the top gratuity and nudity, especially male nudity. Fortunately the female nudity makes up for it entirely.
Good movie IMO.
