A remarkable film, in many respects.March 13, 2009
Great book, mediocre adaptation.March 09, 2009
Watchmen left me looking at the exit far more often than at the screen.April 14, 2013
Watchmen the movie provides ample evidence that more is more, but less might have been closer to Moore in spirit (that is, anarchic, witty and compelling).March 06, 2009
Zack Snyder's film version of Watchmen is a grim and grisly excursion into comic-book mythology.June 10, 2014
I truly wanted to love Watchmen, but I never warmed up to it and ended up only liking it in parts.June 10, 2014
Undeniably, skilfully and wholeheartedly realized by Zack Snyder, the impossible now exists: Watchmen isn't just a movie, it's a great movie.June 10, 2014
For such an epic spectacle, it's not burdened by a lot of clutter. It's intellectual complexity seems well-earned, not gratuitous. It's also visually stunning.June 10, 2014
Those unfamiliar with the work may be completely bewildered, but stick with it -- this is a bold and uncompromising take on one of the genre's sacred cows that stands up to repeat viewings.June 10, 2014
Snyder has done a good job of staying true to the source material.May 06, 2011
If you haven't read the source material I think you're going to dislike it even more than I did. So yeah, it's sort of bad news around here.March 06, 2009
[T]there are problems both with the tale, which was an awful lot more subversive 20 years ago than it is today, and the telling, which in contrast to Moore's radical experimentation is disappointingly staid and straightforward.
