The Bottom Line:
A long film that doesn't feel long, Watchmen is an astonishing visual experience (for all his faults director Zach Snyder sure can craft a pretty frame) that has its flaws--the scenes with Rorschach work far better than anything with Matthew Goode or Patrick Wilson and Malin Akerman, some of the flashbacks don't make much sense to neophytes--but Jackie Earle Haley is great, the CGI is very effective, and the film works as *spectacle* even when it fails a little as a story; no one can deny that Watchman has issues, but it succeeds despite them.

This movie surprised me. I was expecting B movie treatment of heretofore unknown superheroes. Far from it. This was one of the most stylish movies I've seen in a while. I cared and identified with the characters. I understand they came from a popular comic book but it was all new to me. And that made it all the more impressive that I was drawn into their world, a very serious world with a history that was different and compelling. I can't imagine a sequel. I hope one isn't made since it would surely diminish the accomplishment that was this movie. The Kennedy Effect

When this movie came out the attitude around it was it was another superhero movie, but those who had read the graphic novel knew better (I was not one of these people). After seeing the movie and then reading the book afterward I realized why this was such a groundbreaking show that surprisingly moves with the book. Overall it's a movie that should not be presented to young children without the much tamer version of book form being seen first. Even at that parents should decide if their children can handle some of the more graphic scenes in this cinematic and cultural ride.

This film took a couple of screenings for me to really warm up- fantastic cinemetography and special effects. On the '"dark side" of the light spectrum, wich ads to the dark overtones in the plot. The final hour or so (from when Rorscach is busted out of the slammer, and the Mars scenes with Dr. Manhattan) is real eye candy. I've used it several times as a demo for friends that have not seen Blu Ray yet, and get the dropped jaw response every time! Fun stuff, and a great soundtrack (All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix- too much!!) make for a very entertaining film.
 Director's Cut and Blu-ray does not help movie. October 25, 2009

While the movie has well-written costumed vigilantes performed by above-average actors, the movie ran like a re-telling of the graphic novel verbatim. The movie itself is so long, the additions provided by the director's cut are forgettable. The last forty-five minutes are still the best part of the movie.
Blu-ray helps with the visuals; but does not accentuate the storytelling. Unless you are an avid Blu-ray fan like myself, Watchmen can be viewed in regular DVD Video format.
