i think my house moved 2 inches off its foundation after watching this movie.

 well i rented it.. just have to watch it now...  i cant watch it right now.. hopefully i will be able to tonight as i have to return it tomorrow..  

Watched it late last nite, it was late so i couldnt watch it at the levels i wanted to. 

Watched it last week. Very entertaining.

good movie... but i think they could have shaved 20 min off of it easily...then it would have been a great movie

I agree!!!

Maybe you should have rented the one not marked "director's cut".  That's the one I rented and it was marked as being 28 minutes longer.  Didn't seem like too much filler to me, but that's just my opinion.

I had the strait up version...i watched it a while ago so i cant tell you exactly where the went but that whole other planet scene was just brutal....dragged..

 I have to say I totally disagree with everyone who said this movie was great. This was one of those movies that I would not of stayed up till 230 am watching. I thought it was way too long, felt that it could of been made into two movies instead of trying to cram everything into one movie. It will look good on my DVD rac, but I will probably never watch again. This is what I get for buying movies instead of just renting them.

As far as visual and sound quality, it was great........just the story was blah to me. I didn't know anything about the Watchmen so maybe that is why I was dissapointed. I love comic book movies, this just didn't do it for me.

The director probably could not get enough money to do 2 movies so he had to make one.

Also agree it was too long but the graphic novel had a lot in it.   Kind of like the Lord of the Rings movies were too long in the theaters and way too long on the extended dvd versions.  They could have made the movies even longer since they left alot of the books out.

I think it is much harder to take a book or comic book and make a movie compared to writing a script for a movie.

 I am just a "nerd" like that. Its sort of a hobby to just collect as many movies as I can have. I have about two thousand movies or so, a small percentage is what is displayed on my dvd rack though. People come over to my house instead of going to blockbuster lol.

I was unfamiliar with the comics & back story but I really enjoyed this movie. The sound was fantastic on blu-ray, I may have to buy this for reference material.
