There have been plenty of unfortunate cases where an adults-only graphic novel gets toned down, and often ruined, for cinematic adaptations. Watchmen contains plenty of graphic violence, language, sexual assault, and nudity. However, these things exist organically within Moore's story, moving the narrative pieces along until the puzzle is completed...
One of the more brilliant aspects of the miniseries was how it weaved its own story in seamlessly with the events of the graphic novel. Perhaps the finest example of this integration is the show's backstory on Hooded Justice. Originally a significant, but minor, character in the original comics, Lindelof and his writing team assembled a timely and ...
A fundamental part of the Watchmen universe, Rorschach/Walter Kovacs is one of the most complicated characters in the novel. Both admirable and scary due to his total commitment to his own morals and ideals, Kovacs serves as the primary source of exposition in the story as he unravels the conspiracy at work. Snyder's film does a great job of presen...
What began as a strange subplot initially soon proved to be a delightful merging of fan service and truly great character development. The HBO series chose to bring back Adrian Veidt, played here by Jeremy Irons, as a manor lord trapped in a world where he is perpetually unchallenged.

No doubt one of the riskiest decisions made by Snyder and screenwriters David Hayter and Alex Tse, the Watchmen film maintains the elaborate structure of the comics. Jumping between timelines, characters, planets, and all other things in between, the sprawling narrative takes on many detours and seemingly tangential subplots. However, the film, muc...
Part of what makes the original book transcend its comic origins to be considered great literature is the fact that it had something to say. It not only existed to entertain and deconstruct the superhero archetype but also to ask broader questions about ethics and the responsibilities of the citizen to protect the greater whole.

There is no question about it, Watchmen's story is pitch black. Moments of humor are present, but few and far between stretches of grim and brutal scenes of heartbreak and trauma. The tone of the film largely matches the tone of the graphic novel, Snyder's tendencies proving to be an asset in this case. Visually and dialogue-wise, the film is a fai...
Even as Snyder's film stays mostly faithful to the original novel, a glaring change was the specifics of Veidt's machiavellian scheme to save the world. Thankfully a decade later, fans got to see the dreaded giant squid that serves as the ultimate threat Veidt conceives of in the comics.

Something the HBO show could never recreate due to it being a sequel of sorts, the 2009 film accurately incorporates Rorschach's infamous journal. As the show's events are kickstarted by the journal, Lindelof acknowledges its importance, but unfortunately does not allow us to hear it in its author's voice, as Snyder's film does. Rorschach's recitat...
In a lot of ways, the success of adapting Watchmen rests on how you do the big blue guy. One of the most iconic characters of the property, Dr. Manhattan/Jon Osterman is a complicated mess of a man and a god sharing an existence. It's heavy stuff, and while Snyder and Billy Crudup came up with a fairly decent version of the character, there is simp...

Apr 1, 2022 · Movie Nation. Apr 1, 2022. Waterman is a grand feel-good remembrance of an epic life, a documentary that could make even non-surfers and “haoles” (non-Hawaiians) swell with tearful pride that the human race ever produced this “bronze god” who walked among us and changed the world.
