Watchmen Ratings & Reviews
- HexcasAugust 29, 2025Great movie, incredible talent. Zach Snyder and his vision were breathtaking. An almost shot for shot from the Graphic Novel, highly recommended
- ProfSolonAugust 17, 2025By far undeniably, the best superhero movie ever made. It's a shame that they canceled the second one. Because this one did so poorly at first.But now it has a cult following.
- StairwaytothestarsAugust 9, 2025Great visual style and if you're up for something a little different, this is it!
- mickerdooJuly 13, 2025With no previous knowledge, this movie creates stunning characters with gorgeous backdrops. Captivating.
- Andrew CloutJuly 4, 2025Excellent. Didn’t appreciate it when it first was released so rewatching it was a treat.
- ayayronFebruary 23, 2025I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 11, 2024The best "superhero" movie ever.
- TheDesertLadJune 19, 2025Given this film was made by Zack Snyder, I came into this film with low expectations. My previous viewings included the DC films (none I liked) and 300 (a movie I did like), so to be suggested that Zack Snyder made a good movie over superheroes not being symbols of good and justice *before* the MCU really took off? Got to me kidding me. However, the man pulled it off. I watched this with a good friend of mine who pointed out the differences the movie did vs the comic and to AGREE with Zack's changes was a delight. I was hooked and despite sitting through the THREE AND A HALF hour Ultimate Cut I was pretty engaged throughout. No need for sequals, remakes, reboots on this one. This might be the most definitive edition of this story you can do. Not to mention the CGI aged way more gracefully which didn't take me out of the movie too much. To anyone a fan of the superhero genre I say this is a MUST WATCH. Time to give Sucker Punch and Dawn of the Dead a watch!
- MikefIixMarch 17, 2025The absolutely worst move I ever watched by far. I managed to stay till the end in the cinema, because I thought my girlfriend enjoyed it. By the end she said she only stayed in because she thought I enjoyed it. It was terrible, boring, uninspired and dragging, pretending to be deep, yet uninteresting. The fans of the comic book will fight you for that opinion. Save yourself time. It's boring from the beginning and it's not getting any better.
- The Gutter MonkeyOctober 17, 2024One of the most intelligent, thought-provoking, and beautifully directed "superhero movies" ever made, adapted from one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking "superhero comics" ever made.
