Editorial reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[Snyder is] tremendous at directing action....The Comedian's deadly opening sequence is a masterpiece of fight choreography..." Box Office - Amy Nicholson (02/26/2009)
"Whether it's Dreiberg's flying owl ship or the staggering glass palace Dr. Manhattan conjures up on Mars, the filmmakers have spared no expense in their mission to visualize every frame." Variety - Justin Chang (02/26/2009)
4 stars out of 4 -- "The film really does the graphic novel justice....The music is perfect....Snyder did a great job creating a film that's loyal to both the source material and his own style." Premiere (02/27/2009)
4 stars out of 4 -- "[A] compelling visceral film -- sound, images and characters combined into a decidedly odd visual experience that evokes the feel of a graphic novel." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (03/04/2009)
"[T]he production as a whole is impressive. So is the eclectic soundtrack, which ranges from Philip Glass and Leonard Cohen to Bob Dylan and Paul Simon." Wall Street Journal (03/06/2009)
"[A] teemingly ambitious, jam-packed movie....The opening-credit sequence has a marvelous audacity, as it packs in the story of how the Minutemen -- masked crime fighters of the 1940s -- gave rise to their more nihilistic counterparts in the '50s." Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (03/13/2009)
"[There are] flashes of visual brilliance and performances, especially from Haley and Crudup, that drill deep into the novel's haunted soul." Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (03/19/2009)
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] labour-of-love, epic, stylish, violent and very, very faithful....Even under a luminous layer of CG muscle, Billy Crudup's beautifully subtle performance hides electric flickers of pain in the impressive face of quantum superman Dr. Manhattan." Total Film - Jonathan Crocker (04/01/2009)

Visually-stunning, this thrill-packed actioner is guaranteed to appeal to fans and non-fans alike. With loads of extras, this edition fully unleashes Snyder's ultimate vision. Witness this complex, multi-layered mystery adventure set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the 'Doomsday Clock' - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight.
When a hero known as the Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, TV's Weeds) is murdered, his former colleague, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach (2007 Oscar®-nominated Best Supporting Actor for Little Children, Jackie Earle Hayley), begins investigating who is behind the death. Soon thereafter, the other masked crime-fighters, Silk Spectre 2 (Malin Ackerman, 27 Dresses), Ozymandias (Matthew Goode), Nite Owl 2 (Patrick Wilson, Phantom of the Opera), and Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup, The Good Shepherd), a godlike being who is the only hero with actual superpowers, soon learn that there may be a plot to rid the world of their kind. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching over the watchmen? Find out in this dazzling 2-disc Director's Cut Special Edition that will have you watching again and again.
Full Plot Description: 300's Zack Snyder brings Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' critically acclaimed comic book Watchmen to the big screen, courtesy of DC Comics and Warner Bros. Pictures. Set in an alternate universe circa 1985, the film's world is a highly unstable one where a nuclear war is imminent between America and Russia. Superheroes have long been made to hang up their tights thanks to the government-sponsored Keene Act, but that all changes with the death of The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a robust ex-hero commando whose mysterious free fall out a window perks the interest of one of the country's last remaining vigilantes, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley). His investigation leads him to caution many of his other former costumed colleagues, including Dr. Manhattan, Night Owl (Patrick Wilson), Ozymandias (Matthew Goode), Sally Jupiter (Carla Gugino), and her daughter, The Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman). Heralded for bringing the world of superheroes into the literary world, Watchmen gave the super-powered mythos a real-life grounding that had been missing in mainstream comics to that point. The film adaptation had languished in one form of development hell or another for years after the book's release, with various directors on and off the project, including Terry Gilliam, David Hayter, and Darren Aronofsky, as well as Paul Greengrass, whose eventual dismissal stemmed from budget conflicts with the studio. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
