Watchmen (directed by Zack Snyder ) is flat out awesome!

I enjoyed it, great atmosphere and cinematography make it a captivating watch at times. However it was a bit too slow in places. 7/10

I love elements of it, but as a whole I don't think it's a great film. Interested to see what the TV series will be like.

I watched the Ultimate Cut last week, and overall, it was pretty decent, thoughtful superhero film although it was a chore to watch because of its running time. The movie did a good job capturing the stylized look of the original graphic novel and the actors were well-cast in their roles. 7/10

It was much better than I ever expected to be...one reason why I was excited at the prospect of him directing the DCEU films. Sadly he seemed to have lost hi s mojo after Watchmen

Its an unusual film, quite violent, had never heard of The Watchmen before---I actually saw the second half first, on TV, and then the first half later--I think that was an advantage because when I saw the Vile Comedian getting beaten to death in the beginning, it was quite satisfying--Billy Crudup was great as Dr Manhattan, and Jackie Earle Halliday was amazing as Rorschact--some good use of music, and good visual effects--7/10

I really like it too. I wish people would just shut up about Snyder being an awful director because what he did to the DCEU and just look back at his earlier works, like this one. I also really like the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake he directed, which is also his first movie.

Yeah I own the Blu-ray which is the director's cut. That was pretty much my first and so far only experience with the movie.

As with his DCEU work, Snyder has a knack for capturing visuals from the comics (in this case, slaveishly so), whilst missing the point of them and not understanding their characters. Him, his style, and the way he tries to make everything "cool" is completely at odds with Moore's story. As are his silly and pretentious musical choices.
