This has got to be one of the best comic book movies ever made, watchmen easily stands up to anything before it, it has an amazing and deep and interesting storyline unlike allot of comic films, great effects, interesting characters with good back stories. it was rather a brave thing to do giving this an 18 certification and having it run at just over two and a half hours, but it was needed and well worth all the effort, plus with all the cool features you get on this disc its a must own film and already a classic, BUT if you want the real version of watchmen you need to see the ULTIMATE CUT which runs an hour longer! This is only available in the u.s but if you order it you will find it runs no problem as it is region free!!

Loved this film,it's super anti heros for adults,this directors cut is very long,but at least you can have a cup of tea & come back later.It looks wonderful very dark & moody.

This is one of those films that people will only respect in time, it happened to blade runner, 2001, and many other great films. The watchmen film is everything it should be, and its amazing Snyder got it released in such good shape, compared to what it was originally going to be like.

Watchmen is intelligent, and often eye opening about many issues. Directors cut is a bit late over here, but put it this way, the film is 3 hours long, and I can watch it over and over. The Dr Manhattan scenes with music from Phillip Glass are among the best scenes I have seen all year. You might want to read up a bit about watchmen before watching though, so you don't expect something it isn't.
