We give you a rundown of what the critics are saying about Zack Snyder's adaptation of the beloved graphic novel.
It's finally happening. "Watchmen" is here, and now the mere mortals among us who didn't catch advance screenings or couldn't stake out a midnight showing (what, you had a job to wake up for in the morning?) can begin to weigh in. Success or failure? Triumph or catastrophe? What's the consensus on Zack Snyder's adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's universally lauded graphic novel?
Predictably, there isn't one. Critical reaction to the film has been split into three camps: those who immediately loved the book and now immediately love the movie (our own Kurt Loder called it a "monumental accomplishment"), those who love the book so much they believe the movie should never have been made and those who never read the book and now are wondering, "Really? This junk is what everyone's so excited about?"
And so it goes. Will you love it? Hate it? Have you somehow never even heard of it? |
