Watcmen is impossible to film

Rating: 7/10 (12 July 2009)

I'm a big fan of the graphic novel. At first I had a doubt that Watchmen won't turn up to be a great big screen adaptation. After I watched it, I thought it was pretty decent. There are 12 chapters in the novel. Each chapter gives a detailed exploration about each character and their parts in the bigger plot, as well as the point of views from other supporting characters.
I know it would be very difficult to translate the complexity of the book into the film, but the film itself wasn't that bad. The storytelling way in the film was a bit messy because there were so many parts of the book that were cut from the film. Those parts actually held the connection between each sub-plot tighter. And of course there weren't an in depth approach to each of the character. Leaving their personalities to be floating on the screen.
But it was still enjoyable to watch, with great special effect, fighting scenes, and definitely the soundtracks.
