Jasmine W @jasniquejewels 1d I was impressed by this live action adaptation probably my favorite film zack snyder ever directed. See more Leigh S @Icedprism Aug 24 I am impressed, he did a great job on character choices. JDM played a great Comedian.. See more Raquel E @raquelea Aug 23 A dark, thought-provoking take on superheroes that’s far more interested in morality, power, and ideology than traditional heroism. I loved how committed the characters are to their philosophies, even when those beliefs lead them to horrifying places, and the story isn’t afraid to leave you questioning whether the ends can ever justify the means. The visual storytelling is incredibly creative, the opening is a work of art, and the soundtrack might genuinely be one of the best I’ve ever heard. The pacing had a significant impact on my experience, most of the characters didn’t connect with me equally, and the women deserved much better writing. Flawed, but with some genuinely brilliant highs. See more Keith B @Okbullard Aug 15 It was not bad but was kind of getting a little tedious before the end. I doubt I'd ever watch it again. Btw most of the Marvel superhero films (take your pick) are much better than this one. See more Daddy M @daddymooch Aug 4 One of if not the best superhero movie ever made See more Matthew D @OceanSage Aug 2 This is honestly as great as a Watchmen film will ever be. Director Zack Snyder’s superhero epic Watchmen (2009) still impresses me all of these years later. I truthfully hate Snyder’s other movies, but Watchmen will always have a special place in my heart. Snyder’s hyper stylized direction is very cool. Snyder goes full neo-noir to capture the aesthetics of Alan Moore’s legendary comic book. He certainly misses the point of the comic about how immoral and fascist it is for superheroes to do whatever they want. Snyder wants all the over the top violence to look like cool action. It surely looks cool and makes for thrilling action sequences in this movie. The endless narration is a lot, but I like all the details. Watchmen is seriously a must see film. I will say that Zack Snyder cannot ruin author Alan Moore’s genius graphic novel. Watchmen is a gripping portrayal of a bleak world of jaded superheroes. See more Read all reviews
