As it is done in many movies like a movie I despise: Total Recall. This was very much a dark, dystopian movie which showed the country and heroes out of control. I too went to this movie expecting to not like it. I am not a fanboy nor even heard of Watchmen. I picked up the book and really didn't like it too much. I thought the movie was excellent and very dense. Much of the brutality comes from the source which is graphic novel stuff made into real life action much like 300 (a movie I didn't like much) made itself seem like a pornography of violence. But the violence was sporadic here and not the central thing. The story hinged on the dual events of an actual world with superheroes and the impending doom of the world.
