Billed as Unfilmable - The result is Unwatchable

Rating: 2/10 (8 March 2009)

This film will undoubtedly be a paen to the Watchmen fans out there. If you are not already steeped in the mythology of the Watchmen universe, don't waste your time. This movie is a collection of short films for each of the main characters. These independent films are loosely strung together by a silly plot that is revealed with a sophomoric plot twist in the last 30 minutes.
Unless you're a hardcore Watchmen fan, or have three hours to waste avoid this movie like a venereal disease. I stick it through this movie hoping that there would be some point where it became bearable. By the last 30 minutes I was jealous of the people who got up and walked out in the first hour.
If you are looking for any bit of action, there is scant little of it in this film. The action stops and starts intermittent. When there is action it tends to be violent and cruel. Its like the imaginings of a nascent sociopath.
The dramatic scenes don't offer much more to hope for. The dialog is overwrought, over thought, and overacted. Mostly its just BORING. Even the sex scenes are BORING. The blind groping of arthritic octogenarians would be more inviting.
Bad movie, too long, and not worthy of the actors in it.
