Watchmen




 I love Watchmen, i love the comic, i had the issues then i bought the graphic novel. It felt larger than life, it felt cinematic and art house. I liked Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead but hated 300, so i was iffy on his take on Watchmen, but wound up loving that, i actually have all the cuts. I have the motion comic, i have liked the DC crossovers, i struggled with the HBO series but wound up enjoying it for the most part. Now we get the animated film.....the animation style is different...in a good way, the voices take a bit of getting used to, but the overall presentation of the story was lacking. Yes this is chapter 1 but it felt like the depth was gone, this didn't feel epic. Yes it could be niche but a property like this deserves to feel like an event and film in general is so oversaturated that this doesn't feel special and if it had it would have been hella disappointing.  I'll stick with Watchmen Babies....look it up!
