Too long, too many pointless scenes, too much pointless action, too much use of crappy music, and far far too much bright blue computer generated penis. Save your money and buy the graphic novel instead, it is far far better.

Zack Snyder is not a "visionary director" by any right, but at least now he proved he doesn't have to copy every single frame out of the source material.

If there is any thing to take away from this movie it's Jackie Earle Hayle's awesome performance. That's about it.

Do you like this review?

    well since youve read the novel you shouldve known that Zack Synder was gonna show Manhattan completely nude throughout the movie.That was Zack Synder staying true to the graphic novel.if you dont have music,action,or useful scenes in a movie then you gonna end up with something like Dragonball Evolution or Streetfighter the legend of Chun-Li.sorry if i offended anyone on that but its true.Synder is a Visionary Director.Yes Rorscach was Amazing.

  2. Structure (ONSTRA)

    I really don't have to say anything but I guess the story showed itself. it is complex and I agree with the fact that it's so hard to understand the story so fast. MABYE THAT"S WHY IT WAS F*CKIN 3 HOURS. I think they cut off too much actually. these things are by the way are not pointless, they actually make big sense if you actually are going to see the movie not going to the theater to talk to your friends. Zack Snyder is a visionary director and I've heard this story from before, but just the fact that he made the "UNMAKABLE GRAPHIC NOVEL" come to the silver screen and put it in a way that follows the exact flow of the actual novel than I think he is a great director. and he is deffinitely visionary to make the unmakable with great (ehhhh) EVERYTHING.
    WOW so from the whole movie you only took his preformance. I agree his preformance was f*ckin awsome but you must be blind to not get the fact that all of the f*ckin movie is greatly taken under consideration.
    TOO MUCH USE OF CRAPPY MUSIC. it's the 60's -> before. what kind of music do you want. POP and rock or probably britney sprears.

    WOW, somehow Einstein noticed that ACTUALLY Dr. manhattan glows.

    WOW. just, siriously, Shut up. everything you said was so not right about the actual masterpiece.

    Sounds like someone just wants a lil attention. I doubt you thought it was this bad. Look at your sentences: "Too long." The graphic novel is nearly 400 pages long and within those 400 pages there is an enormous amount of complex story angles and ideas. To make this movie NOT long would be a "f*ck you" to the fans, and I will be awaiting the 3 and a half hour directors cut, thank you very much
    "Too much use of crappy music" Music played a key role in the graphic novel, in case you missed it. Alan Moore's quotes at the end...it's 80s music, because that's when the novel was published.
    "far far too much bright blue computer generated penis" You didn't know that going in? What were you expecting?
    Snyder might not be "visionary" in the traditional sense, or your sense, but he's visionary in his cinematography. When you see an image or clip from a Snyder film, you automatically know it's his. Maybe "unique" would be a better word, but whatever. He may have only done works that aren't original so far, but he was granted the right to adapt the great graphic novel ever because he's the only one who wouldn't f*ck it up. That counts for something

    Also, you gave the story 3.5 stars? From what I've gathered the movie stays incredibly faithful to the novel, so I guess that means you didn't like the novel's story either. What a load of sh*t.

    With all that said, I haven't seen the movie yet, but judging from other reviews, I doubt it's this bad and I doubt I'll hate it as much as you did. You don't exactly have the best track record around here for making smart and intellectual remarks, so I won't take this seriously, and this review is proof of that. Not just because it makes no sense, but because it's five sentences and hardly counts for a review anyways.
