It is a performances centric movie

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I saw the Watchmen movie the weekend it came out.I was completely blown away by it.I then read the graphic novel, and was blown away by that.I then saw a few episodes of the motion comics.Is it faithful? well yeah because they just took the comic book, animated it and used voiceovers.The graphic novel was awesome, but this was fairly pointless.The animation is fairly good and it does a good job of capturing the graphic novel.However, I found it annoying to watch.There is only one voice for every single character in the comic(yes even the women), it was fairly slow as well.My suggestion is you just stick to reading the graphic novel.

I have never rated anything a 1, but this is completely unwatchable.The motion comic concept is great - take the original art and material and product something faithful to the original with lite animation enhancements, sound, music and voice overs. The voice overs are the problems here - there is only one voice talent, and so the feel is like an audio book... Just imagine Silk Spectere's lines being read by a man, and you'll know why I have rated this as completely unwatchable (OK maybe if you turn the sound off).Again, a great concept, but a complete failure due to using the audio-book style convention which is completely jarring in this genre and utterly ruins the effect. The production company should have spared the budget for an expanded voice cast, and this would been MAGNIFICENT.

I watched the blue-ray release of this comic first because I had heard the movie was full of plot holes and bad acting. They were right.I watched all five and a half hours of this and was amazed at how well written it was. Every character was given a chance to get flushed out and become attached to. The alternative universe setting of a Nixon run America was a great idea.Don't listen to complaints about the animation. This movie delivers exactly what it says in the title, a moving comic. If you watched the real movie and were confused and disappointed then I suggest you watch this and see the author's original vision.

I've not even finished watching this and may not. It's not the story that makes it so boring. It's like having some one reading a comic book to you. Yes 1 voice is used for all characters including the women. The ramblings of the characters blend into each other I forgot I was watching the movie & went to do something else.Animation? What animation! South park has more & better animation. It's crudely drawn in old 70's early 80's comic style & not good like Superman & X-men.It really could have been much better if it wasn't just one voice for all the characters.
