The Watchmen

What can I say that hasn't already been said about the Watchmen. Frankly nothing but, I am going to review it any way.

Having read and really liked the graphic novel I was somewhat let down by the film. it felt like a 75% effort. I know that there is a follow DVD that completes the experience, but from Zach Snyder (from 300 fame) I expected more. Or at the very least I hoped that they would have left the story alone.

I realize that the film was nearly 3 hours long but there were story lines that were started and not finished that should have just been left out, or what I would have liked to have seen was 3 movies.

They would have made money and it would have done the watchmen justice. After the amazingly unflinching version of 300 I expected so much more from Zach Snyder. Crucial story points were left out and unnecessary moments were left in.

I would expand upon these thoughts but I would like to leave this spoiler free.

I did enjoy the film greatly, it just did not meet my expectation form a titan like Snyder
