Loved the book, loved the movie

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2018)

It's a shame that Allen Moore has no faith in movie adaptations of his work. Granted, considering what has been released, I don't blame him ("League..." is a guilty pleasure, I admit, but is hardly reminiscent of the source material!). However, I wish he had given "Watchmen" a chance. It looks just like the graphic novel. It's beautifully shot, the opening montage setting the tone for the alternate timeline. Great cast and performances, as well. We're liberties taken here and there? Sure, but what film doesn't?
I won't leave spoilers, but if you love the book, give the film a watch, especially the Ultimate Cut, which includes the animated "Tales of the Black Freighter" edited throughout, just like the comic-within-the-graphic novel!
