Staged in the early 80's, the movie follows the everyday show of superheroes until a plot rises to annihilate all the superheroes.

For such an epic spectacle, it's not burdened by a lot of clutter. It's intellectual complexity seems well-earned, not gratuitous. It's also visually stunning.

Snyder has done a good job of staying true to the source material.

Undeniably, skilfully and wholeheartedly realized by Zack Snyder, the impossible now exists: Watchmen isn't just a movie, it's a great movie.

A remarkable film, in many respects.

I truly wanted to love Watchmen, but I never warmed up to it and ended up only liking it in parts.

Watchmen left me looking at the exit far more often than at the screen.

Those unfamiliar with the work may be completely bewildered, but stick with it -- this is a bold and uncompromising take on one of the genre's sacred cows that stands up to repeat viewings.

Watchmen the movie provides ample evidence that more is more, but less might have been closer to Moore in spirit (that is, anarchic, witty and compelling).

Zack Snyder's film version of Watchmen is a grim and grisly excursion into comic-book mythology.

[T]there are problems both with the tale, which was an awful lot more subversive 20 years ago than it is today, and the telling, which in contrast to Moore's radical experimentation is disappointingly staid and straightforward.

Great book, mediocre adaptation.

If you haven't read the source material I think you're going to dislike it even more than I did. So yeah, it's sort of bad news around here.
