Watchmen

Watchmen is a massively underrated 2009 movie about the comic book movie team of the same name. Taking place in an alternate 1980’s, when the existence of vigilante teams has dramatically altered world events, it’s based on the 1986-87 DC Comics limited series of the same name.

It’s one of the more mature comic book movies in every single way – the plot, the language, the relationships, the gore, the tone, everything!

There’s an actual sex scene – something that very rarely happens in comic book movies – but it is the explicit language that really ensures it has a place on this list.

Example: When fictional version of famous political figures are swearing, you know it’s a no-go zone for your children!

Richard Nixon: Bold moves, Henry. That’s what’s needed right now. We can’t let these f**kers think we’re weak! Henry Kissinger: Yes. They must fear the madman Richard Nixon.
