Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the outlawed, but no less determined, masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion--a disbanded group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers--Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity--but who is watching the Watchmen?

Do you think Bob Dylan has ever seen this movie? Does he even know it exists?
Matt SingerSep 22, 2022Jesus I forgot how much screentime goofy cartoon Nixon with terrible makeup gets considering he appears on like four pages of the comic
Patrick WillemsNo film takes a giant shit on its source material like Zach Snyder’s Watchmen. Not even Daredevil completely disrespects its comic book origins as much as Watchmen does. In this review, I plan to go over where the film simply fails as an adaptation, and therefore as a…

I would have give it five stars, but a bit too much blue cock.
Warren WilkinsonFeb 1, 2014Ladies & Gentlemen: I have found a Super Hero movie that is better than The Dark Knight. Yes, I just said that and I truly mean it. Watchmen is bold, intriguing, and captivating. Visually it's outstanding. The cinematography is stunning, everything looks so crisp. It's…

Snyder is far too literal to seriously dilute Moore's already blunt cynicism but he's also not smart enough to actually bring any new ideas to the table, and so the result is this drop-dead gorgeous, meticulously overdesigned visual transcription. generally it's unafraid to…

Jacob Hall is "meh" onWatchmenAt first it was looking like it was a satirical take on superhero films, then i realized no, its an actual superhero film. And if im being completely honest, I'm tired of superhero films. This didnt add any more new content than any Marvel film has ever added.
Trey lovedWatchmenbest super hero movie ever

If only this was a show or 2 parter. People like Zack Synder are so well-liked by me because they make movies you expect but are so unexpected. The comicness is just perfect, I could picture every shot and piece of dialogue as a stereotypical, gritty, dirty, and deep comic. This movie is iconic in…
Cinemutt is "meh" onWatchmenIt was a pretty great adaptation stylistically & scene-by-scene wise, but the changes Snyder made to the story make me wonder if he really understood what the comic was trying to say. (I’m specifically talking about the monster being purposeful, nite owl’s story, & the ending)
MovieDaddy dislikedWatchmenThis movie is good upon first viewing, but progressively worse with each subsequent viewing. Snyder cares nothing for plot or character, only flashy things that go bang bang. Would have been better if Nolan was the director.
- Michael is "meh" onWatchmen
Just read the comic book. The movie is pretty entertaining but Zack Snyder definitely misunderstood parts of that comic when making this film. 5.5/10
Aleksander Guimaraes likedWatchmenHoly hell is it well done with a great story and everything, only wish it was shorter coz then I'd maybe be willing to watch it again
Shan dislikedWatchmenThink I need to give this another watch, didn’t fully understand it or maybe missed something the first time

Metacritic
Snyder and writers David Hayter and Alex Tse never find a reason for those unfamiliar with the graphic novel to care about any of this nonsense. And it is nonsense.
Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter
The movie is ultimately undone by its own reverence; there's simply no room for these characters and stories to breathe of their own accord, and even the most fastidiously replicated scenes can feel glib and truncated.
