Review of Watchmen (2009) by Jaredc324 — 09 May 2019
Shame such visual extravagance and stylistic fervor goes partly to waste from such an overly dense, stretched out, and lazy execution. Watchmen has moments and stretches of intrigue and awe, but the splendor dies and gets reborn again and again throughout the movie.
It's never consistent, and especially with the character motivations. I just felt there wasn't a single character I could resonate or relate to. They're just posers with backstories that are more interesting than the characters themselves.
Watchmen isn't a total collapse. It's actually a masterpiece in the eyes of many, and to me for what it withholds. It just doesn't know how to shape it's glory within the time frame it strives for.
