STRONG POINTS : The film shows numerous special effects, the actors play their part well , the story is first commonplace then spins some magic .This trilogy remind us in the Harry Potter legend . Moreover the main actor is really attractive ^^ .
The film makes us want to see the followups.
WEAK POINTS: It is necessary to wait for a long time before understanding things in particular the fact that Robert is a vampire and that he loves kristen

Correction : Watchmen : the Guardians.

Watchmen : the Guardians.


Watchmen's director is Zack snyder, the American director of 300. It was released in American theatres on March 6. Watchmen is inspired by a comic book :" Watchmen" invented by Alan Moore in 1986. This movie mixes action, drama and S-F and stars"Jackie Earle Harley, Patrick Wilson..." who are not very famous because Zack Snyder did not want a " Big star" in his movie. Watchmen is a very long movie, it lasts 241 minutes, because the comic book is long too ( 408 pages). In the USA, Watchmen was prohibited for under 17 years old whereas in France it was allowed for 12 years old and more!

Review :

_The Comedian has been murdered and his friends want revenge which is the main plot of this movie, but the audience discovers many other things... As a result, Watchmen is a difficult and amazing movie . It mixes complot, Cold war atmosphere, manipulation as well as History and fiction...

Good points:

_ The film is long but the spectators are not bored. There are lots of action, humour, but sorrow and love too.
_ It is not a simple movie of Superheroes, only one Watchman has great powers and this movie is not for children.
_ The graphic style is engrossing because Watchmen has been adapted from a comic book.

Weak points :


_ Many people do not like superheroes' movie.


I recommend this film because it's engrossing, attractive and it changes from the idea of "the good superhero ".

correction gran torino


The film was directed by Clint Eastwood, it was released on February 25 2009, starring Clint Eastwood, Bee Vang and Ahner Her. The film lasts 155 minutes. It is an American film, a drama and a thriller.





Walt Kowalski has just buried his wife. He is surprised when Thao, his young neighbour, tries to steal his collection car, a Gran Torino . A few days later, while members of a small gang headed by Thao's cousin tries to assault Thao, the retired Ford factory worker brings his gun out and scares the thugs. Many Asian families in the neighborhood come to thank him with gifts. The Korean War veteran and racist Walt rejects these oaths of friendship, but Sue, Thao's sister insists. She even ends up convincing him of accepting the young man's help to pay his debt to him. A friendship gradually grows between the two men.




In my opinion the story is great and moving because the story does not end badly for Walt Kowalski.


I recommend this movie to everyone because it is a film with a lot of humanity and the character played by Clint Eastwood is very endearing.
