Rodney V Fun . Little more deep than then the movie , same story line . Chapter 2 in next . We be watching Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Justino G As far as comic book accuracy goes, Brandon Vietti's newest adaptation of Alan Moore's masterful graphic novel is a win. The animation lifts right off the page in every frame. What this film lacks however is the pacing of reading the novel. The runtime felt really rushed. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review J M I don't get it- why not just watch the actual live-action movie? This left me wanting to break out the Blueray player and dust off the comics. Watched Chapter 1 on HBO, but having to pay to stream Chapeter 2... will pass. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Alex R Unnecessary.Computer animation feels out of place, shot for shot take on the comic lacking soul and depth. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review matthias s **Watchmen Part 1** is a blast for any die-hard fan of the comic. As someone who considers *Watchmen* one of my all-time favorites, seeing this iconic story brought to life was so much fun. The animation is fantastic, capturing the gritty, dark atmosphere of the original perfectly. Brandon Vietti, who’s already directed some of my favorite Batman animated films, absolutely nails it here. The voice acting is on point too—every character feels true to the comic. Sure, it doesn’t really do anything new or creative with the source material, but honestly, it doesn’t need to. The comic is a masterpiece, and this adaptation respects that. My only gripe is the pacing, which drags a bit toward the end. That’s the only thing keeping it from a 4-star rating. If you love *Watchmen*, you’ll definitely love this. A faithful, gripping adaptation worth watching! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Logan D The death of a superhero begins a sequence of events that draw his former comrades out of retirement. Imagine an adaptation of a beloved comic book stayed faithful to the material! It's been decades since I read the seminal work by Alan Moore (whose name does not appear in the credits) and Dave Gibbons (whose name does) but I think this is one of the most faithful adaptations since Lord of the Rings. I do find the 3D CG style a bit distracting but finally got used to it. I also loved they hewed closely to Gibbon's style. This films makes me optimistic about the future of the DCAU as many of their recent releases have declined in quality of storytelling. I didn't know who Conrad Veidt was until much later after reading the series. Supposedly he was the inspiration for Ozymandius' last name but unless there's a film he did close to the character I think that's about it for inspiration.
