JoeB131 It's nice to see the original, and you respect the fact the movie version was so faithful....but....Did they really need to get the same guy to do all the voices? That's what I found to be kind of off-putting, especially when he did the female voices. He sounded like a drag queen after the fourth drink.Not that it wasn't fun compared to other action comics, but that is only because the source material was so good. And the pencil work of the artists comes through and all, but a fully animated version with talented voice actors would have been a lot better. In this longer version, you do get some of the character subtleties that have been lost in the big screen version.

Twelvefield For the longest time, "Watchmen" was considered an unfilmable property. It took years to get the script, visuals and story into a form that was manageable for a motion picture, let alone the rumored miniseries.While I appreciate the talent that went into the "Watchmen Motion Comic", I can't help but think that the project just took a few weeks or months to put together in an effort to cash in on the Watchmen marketing blitz. Some bits of it are rather well done, most of it is just long and expositional, and a few parts, especially the female characterizations, are embarrassing to watch. The original "Watchmen" comic was none too kind to women, and this video is even less so.Apart from the single baritone male voice that reads the entire comic aloud, the whole thing has one massive issue with pacing. When you read a comic book, you set your own pace. You can spend half an hour gazing at a single panel of ultra-violence, or you can blip through a dozen panels of navel-gazing introspection, it's your choice.I suppose you can advance the DVD at whatever pace you'd like, but sometimes the voices and the animation just do not flow naturally, and the motion comic lingers over scenes that should be brief and skips over stuff that needs more visual attention.After a while, I found myself becoming obsessed that the characters never (or seldom) blinked and their mouth movements would periodically and reliably go askew. Maybe you like the theatrical film, or maybe you don't. Maybe you like the motion comic, I know I don't. If you want the best Watchmen experience, bloated, misogynistic, dated, self-important, and yet compelling and even a little beautiful under all that blood and ick, just read the book.

gangstahippie 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.

jetboy99 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.
