Critics Reviews

William Bibbiani TheWrap Despite the fundamental problems with any Watchmen adaptation, and the serviceable but not entirely effective visual aesthetic, Chapter 1 does a respectable job of retelling this story. Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness .... this film version, while incomplete as both a first part of two and because it must cut or reframe the source material, still manages to make one feel like they’re experiencing "Watchmen" uniquely. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Jeff Beck The Blu Spot What we get with "Watchmen: Chapter I" is a remarkably faithful adaptation of the graphic novel that has a few flaws here and there, but which ends up being a pretty good rendition of the material. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 28, 2024 Full Review JK Sooja Common Sense Media Fans who know the story will understand what the story is trying to do (something to do with Veidt), but for the uninitiated, these scenes will be confusing. Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Bradley Gibson Film Threat Watchmen: Chapter 1 is a delight for fans, and great follow up for those who enjoyed the comics and want to see more. Rated: 9/10 Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Jonathan Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast Despite filmmakers’ best intentions, the film is faithful to a fault — in essence, an abridged and superfluous version of the celebrated graphic novel. Rated: 3/5 Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Goose R. This a a complex super hero story. Based on earth 1985. Masked heroes have been banned. However some are still active solving crimes. The latest of them being that someone is killing masked heroes. Really good story full of twists and turns. A must watch for the fans. This review is the same for chapter 1 and 2. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿/5 on Max Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Andrei D The voice acting is not great, the animation has something weird, there's no attempt to try anything interesting with the adaptation Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Calvin O I may be alone in my criticism, but I didn't enjoy the animation or the dialogue in this wannabe Watchmen revamp. It kinda did suck Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Audience Member They just remade the Watchmen 2009 in animation... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review John D Waste of time. Stereotypical nonsense with no redeemable properties. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Rodney V Fun . Little more deep than then the movie , same story line . Chapter 2 in next . We be watching Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
