Watchmen Reviews

[comics] Mike Sterling On Watchmen: ‘…there’s a part of me that wishes the Watchmen film had been an enormous hit, enough so that a sequel would have been inevitable, and that even possibly new comic book follow-ups and tie-ins would have been published. Because really, the fanguish that would have caused would have been epically [...]  

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Back in March, comedian Patton Oswalt had some fantastically expletive-filled words for "Watchmen" haters, those frothing fanboys and armchair critics who began to trash the movie before they'd even seen Zack Snyder's big screen adaptation of the Holy Bible of graphic novel geekery. As the year in movies comes to a close [...]  

       I'm still not sure why Watchmen was pilloried by so many. Considering how many adaptations are butchered by filmmakers, it was refreshing to see how closely Zack Snyder adhered to the source material by Alan Moore (except for, of course, the ending). Sure it may have been a little obtuse for people unfamiliar with the graphic novel, but so what, right? Anyway, today's DVD release is a treasure trove for Watchmen fans. For less than...  

After last week's jam-packed release schedule led by "G.I. Joe," we're given an opportunity to breath today with only two new theatrical titles coming to market, along with an assortment of action-filled catalog titles making their way to Blu-ray.

"Andrew Rilstone has written the finest analysis of Watchmen that I have so far read." -- Eddie Campbell "....One of the best things (if not *the* best) I’ve read on comics this year...probably the best thing I’ve ever read about Watchmen, and one of the best things Rilstone’s ever done.""The only essay on Watchmen that you will ever need...It's setting off fireworks in my head.""(Rilstone) has at times reduced me to a state of...  

Recommended THE PROGRAMIn time frame of just over eight months after it's theatrical release, Zack Snyder's "Watchmen" has seen three separate DVD releases: a single disc theatrical edition, a two-disc extended director's cut (which I previously reviewed here), and now a five-disc behemoth titled, "Watchmen: The Complete Story" or "The Ultimate Cut." When I sat down to review the extended...  

Comic book writer Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta) recently spoke with mustardweb.com about his new porject, a bi-monthly magazine called Dodgem Logic.However, near the end of the interview, he talks about how Gorilllaz' Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett visited him at his Northhampton home to recruit him for their new project, and then inversely how Moore asked them to help him with Dodgem Logic: They came down to Northampton last week...

The ultimate cut of The Watchmen came out recently and we got it. Other than Star Trek, it's the only other movie that really caught my attention so far this year. I saw it twice in IMAX and then once on DVD when it came out a while ago. I think I have seen Star Trek almost ten times already. This ultimate cut version includes the "Black Freighter" comic within the comic as animated segments interspersed throughout the movie roughly as...  

"New Moon," "Watchmen" and "The Hangover" were among the films whose trailers left us wanting more in 2009.

Remember the Forest Gump muddy t-shirt scene, or how about the sci-fi comedy Evolution? Heck, more recently it's become mega popular with the release of the Watchmen movie. Although the blood spattered Watchmen Smiley has been around ...  

DC Comics lovers would know about Watchmen, the limited series comic books which were created by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgin during 1986 and 1987, and with 6 opposing characters and amazing physical abilities, ...  

This week I want to talk about something near and dear to my heart, comic books. Actually I want to talk about comic book movies, one in particular. Watchmen. To put a point on it I would like to submit that Watchmen is the greatest comic ... Unlike the Batman movies, the hand to hand combat in Watchmen is on par with the best action films, which says a lot about the film makers attention to detail. What I appreciated was the idea that these...
