The movie was too long and slow paced. It was also confusing going from the past to the present and the ending was dragged out and the plot was not that great.

Really amazing visual effects and fight choreography. I was not familiar with the graphic novel so the story was a little hard to follow because there was a lot tense changes from past to present. At any rate a really original film and one of the more substantial super hero movies I have ever seen.

The Watchmen is a relevant film directed by Zack Snyder (the director of 300) addressing the eternal dilemma of war with additional themes about the meaning of friendship, flawed heroes, our place in the universe and the relevance of our existance. Where do we fit in in the universe? The movie makes us think about metaphysical questions dealing with time, quantum physics and parallel realities. What makes us human? What does it mean to be a hero? This is a good, fun story that is faithful to the limited comic book series written by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons that it is based on. It is full of action and is wonderfully interspersed with great classic songs booming in the background. These so

I think the movie was interesting. There wasn't a lot of action, however, the plot was intriguing and kept the audienced interested in the film. The special effects were excellent and from watching the movie, one could tell that the actors had put in their best acting masks for their roles. I liked the transformation from comic books to more visual and creative moving images. The setting was explicit and I liked how the dark colors of blue, gray and black worked so well in the film together. The dark setting definitely created an aura of suspence, intrigue and mystery. Patrick Wilson and Matthew Goode did a fantastic job as the superheroes. I hope the movie does very well in the theaters

I wish I could rate this movie an extra half a star because it definately deserves a 4.5 and not a 4. Can't wait for the DVD so i can watch it over and over. :P

This "unfilmable" novel really was unfilmable to an extent, much of the depth and meaning which is so important for the novel was missing in this big screen version of events. Themes from the novel were presented in the film, but were limited. Many parts seemed rushed, and did not have as powerful an effect as I feel they should have. Malin Akerman's portrayal of Laurie wasn't too great, she lacked the "presence" essential to her role. Praise goes to the depiction of Rorschach, and also both the Comedian and Sally Jupiter. Ozymandias was not reflective enough of his own actions near the end - as he was in the novel, and such takes a bit away from the depth of his character. They focused more

This is a complex film that I really appreciated. It was everything to me that Batman lacked. Dark, flawed heros are always more compelling. John's nudity was refreshing in a genre known for its sexualization and scopophilia of the female form. Telling all of my friends to go who do not normally appreciate this genre. Excellent!
