It's a shame that Allen Moore has no faith in movie adaptations of his work. Granted, considering what has been released, I don't blame him ("League..." is a guilty pleasure, I admit, but is hardly reminiscent of the source material!). However, I wish he had given "Watchmen" a chance. It looks just like the graphic novel. It's beautifully shot, the opening montage setting the tone for the alternate timeline. Great cast and performances, as well. We're liberties taken here and there? Sure, but what film doesn't? I won't leave spoilers, but if you love the book, give the film a watch, especially the Ultimate Cut, which includes the animated "Tales of the Black Freighter" edited throughout, just like the comic-within-the-graphic novel!

Zack Snyder's Watchmen is an underrated movie and it is easy to see why it is loathed by some. Based on Alan Moore's hugely influential graphic novel which is incredibly multilayered just to bring the book to screen would seem an arduous task. Snyder brings his usual visual flair and the characters are given the best possible content that one can put in a feature film of a certain length. All the actors are very good and embody every character in the best way imaginable. The film is bleak and the morality of many of these "heroes" can be questioned on so many levels. Regardless of the general consensus I suggest you watch this film with an open mind and make your own judgement. This is a very good film in my opinion.

I personaly loved the movie. I loved how they mixed the action with mistery and thrilling! Not a big fan of the animated sequences, still fine. I think they did a perfect job on the 4 hours version!

The show has it's absolute pro's, such as some characters, like Roschack, Dr. Manhattan, The Nightguy. The setting is pretty good too. There are a lot of good things, hard to grasp, but it's there. The politics, the grim, the power, all of them fits pretty well. Than there is the philosophy.. and the story.I also feel, that some things are just.. bad, out of place. Especially the philosophy. The thoughts, the ideas, which the movie is trying to imagine or screen are just bad. Sometimes childish. It feels forced, it feels long. Most of them could be summed up easily, and answered in the same way. It falls flat on the face. It was so hard to watch through all the scenes and explanations that were put together like some childlike idea, which than was kept being pulled longer and longer.The story... well.. Not the best. The start and lead up was good. An afterworld of the hero era with some remainders and political influence. Not realistic political influence or put together. More like a wash up. But okay.Than came the mid part and the end. The animation was good, but out of place and explaining way too much. I was happy to see it, but absolutely unnecessary in this form. The whole Adrian thing is just bad at best. The whole Dr. Manhattan as the "uniting enemy" is just stupid. It's.. faulty at every stage. To put such a scrapped together ending to such a long and mixed together movie.. well.. a bit disappointing.So I would say the first hour is exciting, interesting, than downhill from then. I didn't like how there are gangs with Roschack around. It makes no sense. He is like a sociopath Batman. How are they even alive? How he died was emotionally touching. I'm not sure if.. it was sound. But I really liked his character and the actor did a great job, his death was emotional. I would say he was the max of the story.
