I enjoyed the film, as I did the graphic novel. I thought that Zack Snyder and his cast and crew were able to bring a faithful adaptation of Alan Moore's well loved graphic novel. The film is graphic, while also bringing a new look to the superhero film genre. The film may be slow for most film goers, but the 162 minutes zooms by with awesome cinematography, acting and Snyder's great direction. While this film is not along the same level as The Dark Knight, it is still good and 2009's own hit comic book film.ralph (9 out of 10 )
I enjoyed the movie and like Rorschach's character a lot. I hope there can be a part 2.Aaron (9 out of 10 )
Sorry Ralph, but there can be no part 2, the film was based off a graphic novel that was only 1, and the film left off where the graphic novel ends. But I loved the film and script a lot, Zack Snyder did a great job. It's a shame people fail to see the depth and genius of Watchmen but it it certainly amazing, great visuals, character development, never a dull moment.crater (4 out of 10 )
I was extremely disappointed with Snyder's interpretation of the book and especially his portrayal of the characters Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias. I felt Dr. Manhattan's persona was still too human when compared with the novel. Namely, his voice needed to be deeper, which would have, in addition to creating a more imposing and godly effect, served to sort of balance his voice to make it less expressive, as I viewed Dr. Manhattan in the GN.
Ozymandias in the movie was a little sneering bastard, and even though he acted like he knew everything the aura his actor gave off just made me want to break the screen. I got the impression that Adrian was really a sort of worn out individual who felt alienated from the rest of the world due to his higher intellect. In the book, I almost felt convinced that what he did was right. Almost. I think one of his main traits that they completely overlooked in the movie was his square-ish jaw, which I thought really helped determine his overall character.
The way Rorschach was portrayed was all in all pretty well done, but I think they made him a little jumpy. Sort of. The other characters were very fine, like the Comedian, Nite Owl II, and Laurel, though I don't think they spent enough time at all developing the more minor characters, such as the psychiatrist and the common people. I understand that this may be a result of having to cut back majorly due to time restraints, but still...
One of the things that pissed me off the most was his graphic depiction of the sex between Laurel and Daniel. That was just unnecessary, man.
The soundtrack also put me off. That was just a weird soundtrack.Annie (2 out of 10 )
This is honestly one of the most boring movies I've seen. It was too confusing, and nothing interesting or exciting ever happened. There weren't even any cool action scenes to back that up. Even Transformers was better, and that's REALLY saying something. I couldn't even finish the movie, and it was unnecessarily violent. I did have good visuals though, and the only thing worth watching it for is seeing Dr. Manhattan's hot bod.
