Watchmen removes the blindfold and puts it all in your face.

by cntaur5, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Mar 22 '09
Pros: Production value, cinematography, talented cast and action. 
Cons: It's not suitable for children of any age.
The Watchmen is set in 1985 and begins much like its well publicized trailer with a hero and I’m using this term loosely being killed under extremely brutal and mysterious circumstances.  After Edward Blake (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) a.k.a. ...

Intense Sex And Nudity, Horrific Violence, Flawed Heroes…The Stuff Graphic Novels Are Made Of.

by coldsteel7 coldsteel7 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 09 '09
Pros: Intense characters, unique setting, strong dialogue.
Cons: Shock value alone doesn't get it done.  Mediocre plot and lack of flow hurt.
A blue penis is still a penis.  I could have done without the flaccid member flopping around the big screen for two and a half hours.  One thing is certain about this graphic novel-based film…it is not the type of superhero movie you ...

Watchmen --- Sex, Violence, Rock & Roll, and a Lot of Superheroes

by three_ster three_ster is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Mar 06 '09
Pros: very interesting premise, some great acting by leads,  doesn't pull any punches, makes you think
Cons: pacing problems, no surprises
With Watchmen comes a different brand of super hero movie, taking everything to the extreme, and asking the question of what would the masked men do when they weren't fighting crime.  Who watches the Watchmen?  That is the ...

The Watchmen sucked

by phungus phungus is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Apr 01 '09
Pros: A couple of nice fight scenes, the setting was interesting
Cons: Most everything
I was very disappointed by The Watchmen. When I told some friends this, they asked if I had read the graphic novel upon which it was based. I have not. I want to, or at least I wanted to, but now I'm not sure. I thought this movie was way ...

Watchmen - The world will look up and shout 'Save us!'... And I'll whisper 'No'

by t13monkeys t13monkeys is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 08 '09
Pros: faithful translation, great soundtrack and casting, entertaining
Cons: excessive while missing a few of Moore's philosophical points, not appealing to everyone
Watchmen, unlike The Dark Knight, may not have the same mass appeal- but it at least does what Synder intended it to.  It manages to present a smidgen of Alan Moore’s vision to the mass audiences.  Watchmen shouldn’t ...

"WATCHMEN": OVERWHELMING IN MANY WAYS

by mike.holmes mike.holmes is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 13 '09
Pros: Strong acting, great script, tremendous special effects and music
Cons: A few minor glitches
Although the trailers for this film were certainly intriguing, I had never read the graphic novel on which the film is based.  Therefore, I was anticipating the movie as much as many people I know.  To be perfectly frank, I was a little ...

Superman is Naked, Blue, and American. THE WATCHMEN

by talyseon, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 07 '09
Pros: Unbeleivably great adaptation moves the tale into the third dimension.  An instant Classic.
Cons: Are you kidding?
The Watchmen (2009) Directed by Zack Snyder, from the Hugo Award winning graphic novel by Alan Moore.Rorschach's Journal: November 12th 1985. Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I ...

Who Watches the Watchmen? Me and a lot of other people.

by ssjakira1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 31 '09
Pros: Wow.  Just...whoa.
Cons: Not for everyone, definitely.
I just got home from watching Watchmen.  It is currently 12:07 AM.  The movie began at 9:00 and ended around 11:45 PM, so be ready for a picture that's long and involved.As some people are aware, Watchmen has its roots in ...

The Watchmen

by yakkowarner Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Aug 05 '09
Pros: The character development, CG
Cons: Slow and long.
Basically this is a boring movie. A great and well done boring movie. The first two hours were a patchwork of different stories written together. Some poorly written in, some well done. To show you how I personally handled the pace, it took 3 ...

Who watches the Watchmen? You should!

by Chad9976 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 08 '09
Pros: Very faithful to the source material; great performances; complex suspenseful story; thought-provoking
Cons: Whole premise is a bit difficult to buy; arbitrary action scenes; gratuitous nudity and gore
3/9/09 UPDATE: I'd recommend reading my essay "Are Comics & Graphic Novels Finally Part of the American Literary Tradition?" here: http://www.epinions.com/conten t_5226340484 in conjunction with this review. ...

Fascinating, imaginative but often disappointing. Still worth a look.

by rmurray847 , Mar 11 '09
Pros: Packed full of plot.  Excellent work from Jackie Earle Haley.
Cons: A few instances of really poor acting and characterization.
All I know about WATCHMEN I learned from the movies.  I’d never read the graphic novel…I’d never heard of it, in fact, until buzz about the movie started.  So I cannot comment on the faithfulness to the source, or whether it ...

Who Watches the Watchme....

by mattygroves , Mar 07 '09
Pros: Visually superb. Very faithful to its source material. Exciting.  Beautiful
Cons: Female characterisation and casting flawed. Ozymandias' hair. Slightly slow centre section
It's autumn 1985, and cold war tensions increase to worrying levels as Dr Manhattan flees Earth. It's 1959, and a tragic accident utterly annihilates Jon Osterman within an Intrinsic Field test chamber at Gila Flats. It's 1977, and the Keene Act outlaws ...

"I'm Not Stuck in Here with You, You're Stuck in Here with Me" (No Spoilers)

by cestvrai , Mar 08 '09
Pros: beautiful cinematography
Cons: 15 words is not enough
It was pretty to look at, but that's about it.The cinematography is one of the only things that was captivating in Zack Snyder's much anticipated "Watchmen."  To call it disappointing is a sad understatement for the screenplay adaptation ...

Watchmen Is A Big Mess, The Most Hard R Rated Film Of All Time

by movieman9000 , Mar 07 '09
Pros: Some fantastic performances, Beautiful visuals, Epic scope, Realistic twist on- super-heroes
Cons: A few bad performances, Uncompromisingly dark, Insanely violent at times, Nixon scenes
When I first read the graphic novel about 4 years ago I rather liked it. It was a very interesting idea, showing superhereos interact with history, and popular culture. When I saw a movie was being made about a year and a half after I read it I thought ...
