The finest adaptation of one of the most important comic book stories ever told gets the ending it deserves.

Rated: 9/10

This abridged, animated adaptation benefits from increased action in the source material’s latter half, but fails to capture the impact of the book.

Rated: 3.5/5

Watchmen: Chapter II is worth a watch for fans and unfamiliars alike – the former will satisfy their curiosity for an adaptation, and the latter will hopefully be inspired to pick up Moore’s brilliant work.

Flickering Myth

Movie adaptations always get scrutinized by fans, even more so when it’s a popular, long-lasting story like Watchmen, and Brandon Vietti and J. Michael Strączynski have succeeded in crafting a faithful adaptation with Watchmen: Chapter II.

It's a good adaptation that stays true to the source material, but Chapter 2 still falls short of adaptational greatness.

Rated: 7/10

It's certainly got its flaws, but if you're looking for an iteration of the popular graphic novel that follows it almost perfectly, then it's one that's definitely worth checking out.

Loving the story, still getting used to the animation. Felt like watching a telltale video game.

Like Chapter I, Watchmen: Chapter II’s CG animation is still somewhat dodgy, but it’s nonetheless a solidly told second half of the acclaimed graphic novel that adapts the story well while retaining the emotional weight or cerebral themes of its source material, this one’s also got the giant squid monster!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Watchmen Chapter II felt much like the first chapter. As much as I admire Alan Moore, the original unfortunately pales in comparison to Zack Snyder’s Cold War-themed adaptation. It’s one of those rare projects where the adaptation surpasses the original.

As a huge fan of the *Watchmen* comic, I was super excited for *Watchmen Part 2*, and honestly, it didn’t disappoint. Seeing this incredible story brought to life was so much fun. The animation nails that gritty, dark atmosphere perfectly—exactly how I pictured it when reading the comic. The voice acting? Spot on. Everyone feels like they were plucked right out of the pages. Sure, it doesn’t take any big creative swings or try to reimagine the source material, but that’s okay because the comic is already perfection. Why mess with it? While it’s not quite as strong as the first part (which set the bar ridiculously high), it’s still a fantastic continuation. As a fan, this is everything you’d hope for—a faithful adaptation that captures the heart of the story. Definitely worth the watch if you love *Watchmen* as much as I do.

I was thoroughly bored with part one, wasn't bad but wasn't that good, so I walked into this with the same expectation and was pleasantly surprised. My feeling though is if had the same mindset with the first installment then they're probably both on the same level. In other words, set the bar low and it's easily hopped over.
