Quote:
If nothing else, Zack Snyder's Watchmen demands praise as an awe-inspiring achievement. Snyder has done what many considered impossible - he took Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's seminal comic book, Watchmen, and turned it into a movie. And not just a movie; Snyder hasn't created some processional of images or a living audio book. He's made a film that feels like a living, breathing thing all its own while also being - almost completely - the book. Snyder's Watchmen captures the themes and the meanings and the characters that Moore and Gibbons created but makes them his own, turning the movie from being simply an adaptation into something that feels closer to collaboration.
