Review of Watchmen (2009) by Matthewhenkel — 07 Mar 2009
While pulling amazing levels of detail from Gibbons work the film fails to do the same to Moore's narrative. The violence is overly gorey, the sex overly porn-like in contrast to the realistic nature of the comic. The ending is not only different from the comic - it makes no sense.
*SPOILER ALERT*.
... whuy would Russia and the world unite with the US when the US's weapon of mass destruction goes awry? The alien threat was an outside threat that forces the world to cooperate - Dr. Manhattan as a threat would make all of the other nations see the US as a threat.
