also many of spiderman villains were every inaccratly poytraid as well as the events that took place.
x-men was reidculously bad as was other comic movies.
Watchmen was far from the worst and it at least made up for it by being a solid movie which many of the others can not say the same.
I thought the movie was good. Nowhere near as good as the book but I've yet to see a movie that is.
Even my Dad who doesn't read any kind of comics, afterwords described the movie as much more high brow than your average comic book movie. ✅
Like I've said in earlier posts on this thread the graphic novel is brilliant. It's nowhere near my favourite, but there is a difference between personal enjoyment of a piece of literature for the interest you get from the content and an appreciation for the complexity of the text that can be exclusive from that enjoyment.
e.g.
As an Eng lit student at university, I don't like all Shakespeare's plays (although some are awesome) but I have yet to read one of his works that isn't incredibly complex and intricately woven together.

Like who? The only one I wasn't impressed with was Silk Spectre. I thought all the other actors did a quality job.
How would you even know? You've never read the book, so you won't know what I'm talking about.

Movie was good, on par with the Dark knight.
Never in a million years is it in the league of The Dark Knight.
If it was, it wouldn't need multiple cuts to express the story. The Dark Knight did it all in one release.

Oh please.
Don't use that as an excuse. His role was leagues ahead of anyone in Watchmen, not because he died, because he was better.
If Watchmen was half what The Dark Knight is, it could have got the job done in one cut. An R rating, a director's cut, two additional DVD side stories and three hours of movie; nothing close.

No.
Never a fan of Ledger until Joker.
Every little thing Joker did just made him more awesome, even the little tiny things Joker done all added to an overall great character and great performance.
Watchmen had some great characters and acting I say (Rorshack) but Joker was one of my favourite characters (in the movies) for years.

This just proves there is a lot more to the content of Watchmen than the content of TDK ...
