(51 - 57) of 57 OFCS Rating: 63% Fresh Prev < Page   12   3.5/5 "comes about as close to Moore's intent as we're likely to see in adapting the sprawling Watchmen into manageable, feature-length form"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell "Ponderous and dull, this filmic adaptation of the famous graphic novel proves that great source material, a healthy budget, and technical competence are not enough to make a good movie."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski D "A thoroughgoing deconstruction of humanity as well as heroism, one that takes its world apart without putting it back together again. There are things to admire here, but Watchmen doesn't make me care."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 8/10 "Intense, ultra-violent, eerie and awesome, it's aimed primarily at a young male audience familiar with the blood-stained smiley face."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 5/10 ""Does this film approximate the feeling and meaning of the book?" and "If the book didn't exist, would this be a good film?" My answer for both of these questions is "No, not really"."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 2/4 "a movie made by Dr. Manhattan; it should've been made by Rorschach."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 2.5/4 "Visually, it's eye-popping and gorgeous, and the costumes are a sight to see; but with its heavy adult-themed plot, viewers will be mixed with this artistic approach."   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales  (51 - 57) of 57 OFCS Rating: 63% Fresh Prev < Page   12
