Review of Watchmen

Watchmen (2009)
9/10
Wonderful adaptation, not without flaws though...
6 March 2009
Fantastic movie, overall. Here's the flaws: 1.) The movie is excessively violent, to the point where it begins to distort the characters somewhat. Nite Owl, Ozymandias, and Silk Spectre II are WAY too brutal during their combat scenes. 2.) Too much excess and fluff. Critical elements were removed from the screenplay, which allowed for Snyder to keep unnecessary scenes. 3.) The title scene is poorly done. 4.) Not long enough. This should be 3.5 hours+ long. 5.) The ending is crap. It completely destroys some of the characterizations.

Here's what Snyder does exceptionally well 1.) The music is unbelievable (the soundtrack choices) 2.) Rorschach and the Comedian were played impeccably 3.) Special effects were very good. 4.) RICHARD NIXON! HARROOOHHHH!
