An excellent "anti-" superhero movie ... loaded with symbolism and hidden meaning. A comment on society that rings truer today than it did 40 years ago when the original comic book was written. A movie where superheroes are depicted as…

One of the great works of Comics of all time adapted by one of Hollywood’s worst filmmakers. The film is without art, class, or anything to say. Truly a miserable experience.

A surprisingly literal depiction of the graphic novel. Surprising because the novel is so complex. Well acted, with superb special effects. Best viewed after reading the book.

THE DIRECTOR’S CUT, running 186 minutes, is by far the best way to view this important piece of cinema. Children may want their perfect superheroes, but those with adult tastes will find these flawed characters more intriguing.

One of the deepest most sophisticated nuanced super hero movies ever. Production quality is amazing. The story is complex and long but worth the payoff. The acting is great overall. The hero's are vulnerable in so many ways. For every…

If you're looking for superhero ideals and razzle dazzle, you're not going to enjoy this film. If you want dirt, grit, and all of the muck that is the human condition masterfully written and beautifully shot, then you're in luck.
This is…

Not knowing the storyline, it took a moment to figure out why Nixon and MTV were on television in the same era. After that, the suspension of disbelief was easy and enjoyable. Dig it for what it is, an entertaining piece of fiction about…

This wasn't bad, but could have been great with a decent director.
The ending is slightly different; works better in context, though.

Based on the Alan Moore graphic novel by the same name. If you haven't read the novel then the complex narrative structure and deep societal message will be difficult to interpret. I watched this movie when it came out and was confused.…

The opening fight scene is a decent homage to A Clockwork Orange but the rest of the film is pure cancer. It tries to innovate by creating flawed heroes, but the flaws are base. One hero is a rapist, another a dissolute lush, another an…

I guess you could call this an intelligent super hero movie, but for all the intelligence this movie it has it lacks in every other area. Can’t understand why the high ratings, definitely skip this one….

This edition of "Watchmen" was okay, if you don't base the film off of the graphic novel, you'll be fine. It's dark, and quite frankly? Downright depressing at times, but when a film delves into the dark recesses of our society, it is…

There's no question in my mind, as far as superhero movies go, Watchmen was strictly the bottom of the barrel.... If these emotionally dysfunctional jerks and all of their personal dramas were supposed to be the best that we can do for…

I was not sure what to expect while watching this movie. I have not read any reviews or listen to any one telling me about it ( and there were plenty) and spoil the movie for me. So,…

Pretty but overall not that great. Enjoyed the aesthetic and the opening scenes (both the fight with the Comedian and the intro credits). Interesting premise, so much potential, but I really question the execution with this one.

This movie was like "X-Men on Steroids". Although it was filled with (some disturbing) graphic violence (and some gratuitous sex), I found this "noir-ish" super hero flick uniquely humanizing and original. Dazzling visual effects. Creative…

This is like the "adult" cartoon/super hero movie. Although the superhero "chick" costumes were well received the story line, time line and characters weren't.

This was a good well rounded super hero movie. Not as good as I had expected going in to this film, but still worth seeing. If you like the super hero, sci-fi genres of you film you will love this movie.

The original comic is WAY better than this adaptation. Though the movie isn't completely bad, it could have been better staying true to the original comic, which is exceptional (coming from someone does not like American comics and is…
