rotten:
Zack Snyder's film version of Watchmen is a grim and grisly excursion into comic-book mythology.

Watchmen left me looking at the exit far more often than at the screen.

If you haven't read the source material I think you're going to dislike it even more than I did. So yeah, it's sort of bad news around here.

rotten:
Watchmen the movie provides ample evidence that more is more, but less might have been closer to Moore in spirit (that is, anarchic, witty and compelling).
