It’s Watchmen, but it’s not Watchmen

Rating: C+

As a fan of the graphic novel — one of the finest pieces of literature I’ve read — I was incredibly skeptic as to if Watchmen could be transitioned well onto the silver-screen, and this film did nothing to initiate a change of heart. It’s sad, because there is so much here, so many possibilities — pieces of a puzzle — that ultimately, don’t come together as they should, leaving you to connect with it solely on an aesthetic level.
