Ambitious, Bloody Watchmen Earns a Bright Yellow Smiley - WIRED.com
Dueling Reviews of Watchmen Movie
Few comic books have captured the imagination like Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' mid-'80s masterpiece, Watchmen. And few comic book movies have generated as intense an interest as Zack Snyder's bold mission to bring Watchmen's "unfilmable" story to the screen.
A special movie deserves special treatment, so Wired.com brings you two separate reviews: One, written by a Watchmen fanboy who's pored over the source material for years, examines the movie as it relates to Moore and Gibbons' original vision. The other, by a Watchmen virgin, judges the film strictly on its cinematic merits.
