Running Time: 2h 42min
Visually impressive, Watchmen continues a strong line of comic book adaptations that impeccably capture the tone, look and feel of their source material. More astoundingly, Snyder's version manages to fulfill expectations for one of the greatest graphic novels of the 20th century.
Snyder manages to do this by casting some great role players over big name actors, allowing the viewer to become immersed in the storyline. It's truly awesome how he sets up many shots to directly reflect the artwork of the graphic novel, giving us a film that recreates key details with much precision and accuracy. All the actors are remarkably restrained, as Akerman, Morgan, Haley, and Wilson will certainly have their performances in this film be career highlights when all is said and done. i can't imagine how they could improve this film, as it is visually captivating and thematically enticing, by faithfully sticking to the groundbreaking work it came from.
Grade: A+
