Review of Watchmen (2009) by Jake C — 19 Mar 2013
For Zack Snyder's effort to adapt heavily philosophical and dense graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, this movie deserves 5/5. However, it is nearly impossible to put all the essential elements from this graphic novel into a full-length motion picture(it might be possible for miniseries).
Trailer is intriguing but the movie left out many details that make the original source great. Nonetheless actors are fabulous in their roles especially Billy Crudup and Jackie Earle Haley. I really hoped the movie included comic strip portion of the graphic novel.
Big disappointment, but saw it coming.
