This is now one of my top three worst movies of all time. What a waste of time.

This was a very well put together movie. The ending was unexpected but done well. To have had everything the graphic novel had would've increased the length of this movie and while it was long, I don't feel it was too long. Not all superhero movies are action flicks, folks.

The movie was alright,a bit too long like everybody else has said. I guess the high light of the movie was when the 2 elderly ladies behind me kept saying "there it is again." Referring to the over kill view of the blue wang. Give me a break! ,at least Malin Ackerman's bare bottom made up for it. The movie had that nice dark feel to it. Too bad it just dragged along.

Worst movie I've seen in a long time.
March 23, 2009
garbage to long not enough action and way to many male appendages

An amazing movie! It has a very original plot and manages not to drag on. The characters are all interesting and well developed. Overall, it is a very good film and highly recommended. Though you may want to read the graphic novel first before you watch it to get the full experiance.

This movie wasted too much time, from the rawn out opening scene, opening killing of the comedian, and the sexual scenes. Also this movie took 2:45 mins to say that mankind is ugly and will destroy itself, and by killing some you will save the rest. A fact that has come up in many movies even a speech about the pointlessness of crime fighting came from steven seagal in a movie. I never was into the comic, but i still didnt see the point of most of it.

what a terrible piece of crap. that's three hours of my life i want back. and no, i don't know the book.

Fun. You definitely do not feel the length, unlike Dark Knight.

Boring and long? Too philosophical and therefore boring? As a society we've apparently lost our ability to sit still longer than 60 minutes; lost our ability to think before we're interrupted by somethin going up in flames. If you went in expecting your typical superhero movie, then this is not it. There are things that could have been better, but that is not its length and it is certainly not its philosophical side. Those Watchmen cannot do without and should not. And get over yourselves. Has no one seen a penis? Manhattan is not human and not bound by human conventions. It's not even given as much screntime as people are talking about it. We're just more used to seeing breasts.

Okay people who haven't read the comic and cannot understand the movie are going to see it and then giving it bad reviews... this is an amazing movie.. and you should read the graphic novel.. its amazing too.

I've not read the comic fully yet. But I mus say that this movie was fantastically done. There are, of course, some differences between the comic and the movie, but honestly it's to be expected. The changes aren't that dramatic either and actually make more sense for the movie. A lot of people rag on the acting, however I believe the acting was well done within the confines of the characters. As for the pacing, it was done, in my humble opinion, perfectly. Just because it's a movie based on a comic doesn't mean it's got to be exploding with action, after all, The Comic itself doesn't explode with action, it tells a dramatic story enhanced by pictures, while the movie itself tells and acts ou

This move was just average. I understood everything, but it was just way too long. And the blue wang was a bit much. Yeaaaah!! for Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel in the music though.. that was the only time I felt excited. If you have nothing else to do, then this is a fine movie for you.
March 20, 2009
Ok i do not understand what a vast amount of critics are seeing in this movie, giving it 4+ stars. The acting was substandard, characters that might have been ok in a comic book did not resonate live. However understanding of how a cult following started for this comic has happened as it provided im sure a lot of lonely men some self love.
March 20, 2009
Too long, and too boring. Total waste of time and money. Rent it if your curious, but otherwise, it's a pass.
March 20, 2009
EXPECTED MORE ACTION,BORING
March 19, 2009
It was so good, and the nudity and violence was tastefully done. I am going to watch it agian. I am a big fan of Alan Moore. Best PERSON ever.
March 19, 2009
If you like looking at blue wang for 3 hours, this is the movie for u. Absolutely horrible.
March 19, 2009
Best comic book adaptation tot he big screen. If you read the graphic novel you will love this movie! 5 stars!!!
March 19, 2009
The trailers did nothing for me; I ended up going to the movie with some friends "for something to do" and was totally blown away. This movie is not your average superhero movie; it is very heady and at times pokes fun at itself, and the alternate historical timeline is pretty fascinating. I've seen this movie twice now, and will buy the DVD the day it is released. If you like your movies with a healthy side dish of philosophy and irony, you'll dig Watchmen.

Surprisingly good!After reading all of these reviews I wasn't sure.......but I'm glad I went.
March 17, 2009
boring and long. I am surprised that true comic book fans seem to enjoy this. Way too philosophical and boring. Perhaps I was expecting a movie with energy.
March 17, 2009
4 stars a very good rating. A significantly good movie. If you like meaningful movies. A good movie overall. It was mellowly interesting at some parts not exactly the type of movie that keeps you off the edge of your seat throughout the movie, which is hard to achieve. 4 out of 5! You can put in on the good movies section.
March 17, 2009
terrible movie... 3 hrs on nothing!!
March 17, 2009
very different from other superhero movie!! it has a great concept, which i really enjoy watchin it.
March 17, 2009
baddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
March 17, 2009
boring but great cinematography. I'm not an idiot. I got the point. It was still boring. Didn't need to be three hours, I could have been doing laundry.
March 16, 2009
This movie was way too long and boring!!!! Go see something else!
March 16, 2009
Great movie!
March 16, 2009
What in the world??????? How do people actually spend money to make such a movie? Only eye candy and gore but overall what is the sense of watching a movie if you end up scratching your head at the end?
March 16, 2009
The movie was pretty, lots of special effects, and the story made sence but damn it was boring. The violence was the only thing keeping me from walking out. I had no expectations. I think I might go see it again. I did not Lord of the Rings when I first saw it. But, after soaking it all in I ended up enjoying it.
March 16, 2009
one of the most profond action movies in a long time, it's a thinker and good for conversation after. A must see for anyone who likes their heroes a little more human, but the movie did drag on a little longer than your average hero flicks. I enjoyed it but I can see how someone expecting another "xmen" could find this a little too heavy.
March 16, 2009
I only heard about the Watchmen graphic novel and knew of the characters by their images not name. So I went in very open. I did enjoy the movie though in certain spots it did feel like 3 hours. But it made me go buy the novel and compare the two. Sure the movie styled it up but it was very close to what I am reading. If a movie can do that I say its worth while but not everyone's cup of tea. Still I'm sure it will end up in my DVD collection.
March 16, 2009
This was probably the worst movie in a long time for me. I didn't expect this movieto be that bad. It's my fault..I should have read the story line before going to see the movie. Anyway, I felt depressed after seeing this movie. Also, no need to see the blue genital for half the movie. The only think good about the movie is Malin Akerman...Grrrr!
March 16, 2009
Easily the best comicbook movie since The Spirit.
March 16, 2009
I thought this was a very well done movie. It is about the ugliness of humanity and it depicts it well. Not all hero's are perfect. You have to be older to appreciate this type of movie.
March 16, 2009
found it long and the storyline cliche. Doesn'treally set the storyline up for people that haven't followed the franchise .
March 15, 2009
Dissapointing...nothing but eye candy and thats even lacking
March 15, 2009
I wish there were negative numbers for the stars. this movie made me fall asleep.
March 15, 2009
Warning-Don't see this movie if you are: A) Simple-minded. B) Wanting a feel-good comic book movie. C) Not willing to follow a plot. D) A child.
March 15, 2009
Greatest movie ever.
March 15, 2009
This was dreadful, depressing and disturbing. I have never seen such a cruel and mindless movie. There is no story line and it is very confusing. On top of that, they show very awful things that NO ONE should ever have to see.
March 15, 2009
It's ok, but I found the ABBA songs distracting.
March 15, 2009
I dont know how anyone could say they liked this movie. 3 hours of little action, a story that didnt know what it wanted to do and blue mans genitals. By the end there was probably half the audience left in the theatres. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY
March 15, 2009
One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I can see why some people may not like it, as it is very graphic. If your not offended by profanity, nudity, etc. this is a must see. 5 STARS!
March 15, 2009
This movie is so bad! It was a waste of time to watch it in the theatre.
March 15, 2009
Very faithful, I enjoyed it. My only complaint would have to be the music, it didn't seem to fit it too well
March 15, 2009
this movie is a waste of time, if you like the comics go watch it. if you have never heard of the watchmen then forget it. save your money, piece of garbage, not worth watching.
