Finally read the book in its entirety. Not bad. Not the masterpiece it's made out to be (purely imo, and i know people will disagree), but enjoyable. as for the movie? decent enough, enjoyable in parts. some nice scenes.

I just watched it the other day.
I know,I know,I'm behind the herd.

In my personal opinion,I thought the movie was great.
I can't compare it to the comic because I never got a chance to read it,but as a film I enjoyed it.
It made me want to see all my favirote super heroe's interperted the same way.

But I would also think,that this movie will probably mainly appeal to comic book enthusiasist,and will probably get neglected by everyone else as being too confusing or weird.

i think this is the best comic book movie. This movie is just so deep with so many themes. The movie is a testament to human resilience

dark night is second.

Yea we get it, you didn't like the film.

I don't think it's fair to compare Watchmen to The Dark Knight. One is a straight forward, page for scene adaption of a great piece of witting and the other is it's own story based on a comic book character. I can appreciate them both for what they are but it's hard for me to say which one is better or if one is even greater than the other.

Watchmen isn't page for page, page for scene or anything close.

This is what YOU fans need to grasp; you enjoying it doesn't make it things that it wasn't. It was not page for scene, Sin City was.

I really liked the movie, while most of my friends hated it and thought it was a yawnfest... I guess we all have our own opinions on what is and isn't entertaining.

Matt Cohen said it best on Bagged and Boarded. People who aren't fans of the comic or aren't more open minded (the majority of people) are going to hate the movie because it doesn't follow cinematic conventions, it's long, it doesn't follow a linear formula, there's no clear protagonist or antagonist, and there's no conclusive ending. I'm still getting the box coming out in november though.

I'm a fan of the comic and I thought it sucked.

Besides, the condensed and SEVERELY edited story makes it easier to get. My mum understood it and she had to have The Matrix explained to her.

So, Matt Cohen is talking out of his ass.

I haven't seen Watchmen since about 2011 and decided to watch it last night.

It's the best Alan Moore adaptation to date, but it's still just an "okay" film to me.

The production is spot on, really. Truly talented actors and film makers.

Still, the overall story is so cherry picked and skewered that it diminishes the greatness of the source material.

Great point: the title sequence.
Good Points: It's a labour of love apart from the ending with no giant bioengineered psychic monster it's very true to the source material.
Bad points: It perhaps uses the comic too much as the storyboard for the images of the film.
It seems sterile and lacks passion... To a point the comic did.

Even though V deviates far more, I find it more rewatchable.

I really want to see Miracleman done.

I liked it. Fun movie.
I never expect any story to be adapted scene for scene from any one genre to another, so i’ve never seen the point of that complaint. In and of itself it was a good actiony version of the story.

It's between Watchmen and V for favorite Moore adaptation, and perhaps favorite comic book film ever (though The Dark Knight, Logan, and Infinity War are top 5 choices as well, with stuff like Sin City, A History of Violence, Road to Perdition, and The Crow all being good choices as well.)

I agree to some extent with the points brought up by you last 3 guys (Riv, Imp, Putin).
