Mr Snyder Got It Right

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2009)

This is one of those movies where you either love it or hate it...Well, i loved it. Maybe it is because i had already read the graphic novel and my expectation for the movie was quite high. Mr Snyder met my expectation and most probably many more who had read the awesome graphic novel.
Mr Snyder tried to do a scene by scene adaption of the graphic novel and he nearly did that to perfection (perfecting it is impossible) without leaving anything important.Mr Snyder had to get the cast right and he did just that(with the exception of Mathew Goode as Ozymandias).
Jackie Earle Hayley steals the show as Walter Kovacs AKA Rorschach. He suits the character perfectly, from his nasal voice (unlike Cristian Bale's Batman) to his dazed look as Walter Kovacs and mannnerism of Rorschach. His voice over from reading Rorschach journal was what people imagine when they read the graphic novel.
Billy Crudup as Dr Manhattan...well he did not need to do much because Dr Manhattan is somewhat close to an alien than a human. I usually tend to imagine Keanu Reeves as Dr Manhattan as it would suit hiim perfectly. The manner he speaks and move is what Keanu would be good at.
Patrick Wilson is another perfect fit as Dan Dreiberg AKA Nite Owl II. He got the side parting hair on him and those big glasses which gave him the nerdy look that is required. He acted as the kind hearted guy who deep down inside misses the vigilante days after retiring from it.
Malin Ackerman as Silk Spectre II...well she is hot and that is what most fanboys wanted to see. Enough said.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan did not have as much screen time being The Comedian but he did the best with the screen time he gets. Being the scumbag in the movie and got killed at the start of that gave the setting to the whole movie. The Comedian gave two hoots about who he offends or whatever decision he made, whether it's wrong or right and Jeffrey did just that to the character.
Matthew Goode as Adrien Veidt AKA Ozymandias...Well he just doesn't fit, from his frame to his hair and the way that he talks. It all seem wrong to me.
Overall Zack Snyder did what most people thought was impossible, bringing the Watchmen onto the big screen. Most of the credit should be given to him. Everyone should watch The Watchmen.
