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.

Rated: 3.5/5

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

The animation style does not help, characters are all slightly off in terms of voice acting, tries nothing new

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
