I actually think the film is better than the comic, the tentacle monster was stupid. Thematically the film is superior. It makes more sense.

Zack Snyder did a fantastic job recreating many of the most iconic images in the graphic novel in this film. Jackie Earle Haley was born to play Rorschach, there is no one else who could do a better job or look more like his comic book counterpart. Also I highly recommend the 3-hour Director's Cut of this film. Crucial plot points that were cut, presumably for time, are put back in and helps to explain a couple of things.

The reason the masked heroes are "retired" is because Nixon outlawed them. Rohrschach is the only one still running around in his costume- Everyone else has either just stopped wearing their custime like Night Owl, gone public like Ozymandias and the old Night Owl or is working for the government like Dr. Manhatten. Fun Fact: a lot of the songs in the soundtrack are already mentioned in the comic. if I remember correctly there is a song mentioned on either the first or last page of each chapter setting the musical tone for that chapter. so when you read it you already have a soundtrack in your mind.

It sucks that HBO Max didn't have the director's cut of this movie, it's so much better than the theatrical cut. I love how you guys liked the movie regardless because it is such a compelling story

The 4-Hour cut of this movie is my favorite movie of all time

Also the Rorschach reveal is one of the craziest movie moments. I did not expect it to be revealed at that moment since I haven't read the Graphic Novel. And then when you go back and realize he was hiding in plain sight, watching them the whole time... such a crazy scene. The mystery vibes are so strong in this movie.

2 hours? What? The director's cut is 3 hours long, you guys missed about an hour of the actual movie. I'm not even mentioning the ultimate cut which is 3.5...

As a huge fan of the graphic novel this is the most accurate adaption I've ever seen on film from keeping the tone, complexity of the characters, design, and spirit of the Novel. Its also basically a shot for shot with a lot of the lines pulled from the source.

I love ❤️ this movie. Went to see it with a friend who was expecting something like x-men. Instead we get this artsy, R rated story for adults.

Yeah that would be insane...I’ll have to check it out at some point

Watchmen's opening sequence is probably one of my favorites. Visual storytelling basically giving you the context of this stand-alone universe.

I've always been a massive fan of Snyder's filmography. It's always the most 'what the fuck' kinda movie.

This is incredibly underrated. I think its Snyders best film. I saw this in theaters opening night. It was very derisive, there were audible boos from people. I was blown away so much I went out the next day and bought the novel.

That was a really good reaction to the movie! Loved to see your wtf moments, haha. Reminded me of going to the theater and be completely blown away by everything. The story, the visuals, the cast, the production, the vfx, the music, everything. I knew I was watching a masterpiece. After reading the graphic novel it only made me appreciate the movie even more. All the details and how it got adapted.

Loving these Zack Snyder reactions! My 2nd favorite director

Alan Moore wanted to make this story with actual, albeit not-that-famous, DC characters which were originally from Charleston Comics before they were bought by DC back in the day, but DC didn't green-light the project unless he changed them to original characters because they thought the subject matter was too controversial and they didn't want to damage the established characters' images. So each character here has a pretty straightforward "real" equivalent. Nite Owl I and II are based on Blue Beetle I and II, for instance. Dr. Manhattan on Captain Atom, the Comedian on the Peacemaker (John Cena played him in The Suicide Squad, recently) and Rorschach on The Question, and so on. They're not exactly like the characters that inspired them because they're modified to fit this story's tone by exaggerating some of their character traits and adding some stuff that may or may not be based on other well-know DC superheroes, as is the case with Silk Spectre I & II, whom seem to be mainly based on Nightshade but also include elements from Black Canary I & II. The irony is that despite DC's misgivings, Watchmen was one of the first comic book stories to be recognized as a superior work of art within the medium by both comics fans and non-comics fans, so that the term "graphic novel" started to be used to refer to this kind of thing in order to differentiate it from the regular "trashy" and "non-literary" comic books that were perceived as being for kids and lacking legit artistic merit.

The Mclaughlin Group was so well done in the beginning. The actor did a GREAT job sounding like and capturing John McLaughlin's mannerisms. This movie brings me back to my teen years in the 80's.

Are you guys planning on watching the HBO Limited TV show? It takes place after the novel

The HBO Max Watchmen mini series it’s incredible too, y’all should watch it now since it’s a sequel to the comics and this movie are the events of the comics, only the final events were different. (It’s not a spoiler, it’s important if you want to continue to the miniseries) Snyder and co-writers David Hayter and Alex Tse stuck pretty close to the source material for the film except for a pretty bold change to the ending. Snyder's Adrien Veidt essentially frames Doctor Manhattan, leveling several major cities with a weapon that leaves behind the same energy signature as the big blue guy. Moore and Gibbons also leveled cities, but they did so with a massive squid-creature from another dimension...sort of. In the comics, Veidt assembles a crew of scientists and artists in a remote location, telling them he's making a monster movie. They create a Godzilla-sized monstrosity, Veidt kills the crew to guarantee their silence, and then he drops the tentacled beast now temporarily alive thanks to Veidt's potent energy source on top of New York City, where it causes utter mayhem and a death toll in the hundreds of thousands. The result is the same, with the world's political powers tamping down war talks immediately to focus on the extraterrestrial and/or interdimensional threat that has clearly set its many eyes on Earth. The series won like 11 emmys, tons of others nomination and awards. Highly recommended. Another good reacting, love this channel.

Opening credits are still unmatched. God tier

This film is amazingly faithful to the book...the comic was practically a storyboard for the film. I've never seen a greater effort made to be true to the source material. Even the casting was clearly done with an eye towards making the characters look the way they were drawn. There's really only one change of note, but it essentially gets you to the same conclusion in fewer steps, and I've got no issue with it at all. You should absolutely give it a read, though. The amount of detail in the book is astounding. It was the only graphic novel to make Time Magazine's list of 100 greatest books of the 20th century.

300 is more action packed and another graphic novel adaptation you should watch it.

Awesome stuff guys, Shazam and aquaman are great

I read this 5 years ago, hands down best comic story ever. That weekend I bought the directors cut with low expectations. How could they fit that dense story into a single movie? I knew nothing of its reception aside from it wasn't a huge box office hit. It was remarkable how well it was adapted. I was blown away. Great reaction

im here for big bro Nick haha

*A bit of history before the movie starts:* Sometime before the Vitenam war, all vigilantes were given a choice(Keen act by Nixon) to either retire, work for the government or publicly reveal their secret identity. Most of the Minutemen(1940s suited up cops) retired except Hollis Mason aka Nite Owl 1 (wrote a book and revealed his secret identity). Dr. Manhattan, Silk Spectre 2 (Laurie), Comedian chose to work for the government (secret identities intact). Veidt used his watchmen persona to start a company (hence publicly revealing his identity). Nite Owl 2(Daniel) retired. Rorschach refused and stayed a vigilante (hence was on FBI's most wanted list). *About the heros in general:* None of the heroes except Dr. Manhattan have any powers whatsoever. They are normal human beings with some training with masks, outfits and gadgets. They seem to be extra strong but that's just for cinematic purposes I guess. *About Dr. Manhattan:* Dr. Manhattan can bend space-time. So he can bend matter to his will and he sees all of time simultaneously. Like he says he felt fear for the last time but actually he is being ripped apart all the time and he feels all of that all the time. He doesn't have to go back in time per se because he is living that instant right now. According to the comics, he can see alternate realities like the cat in the Schrodinger's box. For instance, before the watchmen first meet(where comedian burns the map and all) the future didn't show a nuclear holocast and then he is paired up with Rorschach(decided through picking chits out of a box) to patrol, so he chooses to alter the outcome of the chit picking and changes it Laurie(hence they grow closer and make out on the roof during one of their patrolling nights). This is the universe where Manhattan's vision of the future is blocked by the temporal interference which the movie covers. ***SPOILERS*** . . . . . . . . . Difference between the Comic and Movie: Almost all of the scenes are shot to be the exact same as the comic. If you read the comic, it'll be very hard to not notice that. The most glaring difference is that in the Alan Moore comic, Veidt drops a gargantuan alien squid on Manhattan and blames on an extraterrestrial attack, uniting the world and preventing nuclear holocaust. I am looking for all and any Batman/Superman references. Please comment if I got anything wrong or missed any clues.

Great reaction guys keep it up!! It would be great seeing you guys reacting to Aquaman

I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!!!!! The speech that Dr. Manhattan gives to Laurie on Mars about her being a miracle is so great. The moral ambiguity and philosophical dilemmas are so intriguing. The direction, color grading, lighting, music, and general aesthetic of it all is so appealing. I just love it!

I haven't read Doomsday Clock but it seems to me technically he has no power since he makes no choices. Jon Osterman is blown up and then this glowing being with his memories just appears and is then puppeteered by basically spacetime itself.

NiteOwl is a derivation of an existing comic character called Blue Beetle, of which there are multiple versions. Hollis Mason represents Dan Garret, the golden age Blue Beetle who was an actual comic from the 40s, and Dan represents Ted Kord who was the Blue Beetle from the late 60s through the early 2000s.

You guys should definitely watch the Watchmen TV show next, it's more a continuation of the book than a continuation of the movie. This movie is a good primer for the show too, you just need to know about the squid.

Excelente!!! The best DC superhero movie ever. Braaavooo!!

You should watch the limited watchmen series on HBO. Its equally amazing and twisted

All these cool shots were basically lifted from the graphic novel.

They were talking about Ronald Reagan running for President at the end in the late 80's and they showed the explosion sites still in rough shape. So not so much time had passed. Regarding Reagan, the reason the newspaper manager/supervisor was in disbelief of him running, was because he was a well-known movie actor in real life. But those patriotic roles he played in his early days did help him become the President for almost the entire decade.

If you liked this, watch the “Watchmen” TV show which takes place years and years after the graphic novel that the movie is based on.

Best reaction of this movie i've seen to this date :)

It wasn't on the "Batman" universe but it had a Batman poster on the beginning, that's on the comic book as well. Anyway; it wasn't but 'it is' now that is a property of DC Comics and it was integrated recently to the main universe, on Doomsday Clock and DC Rebirth. Superman fought against Dr. Manhattan in it. The music was a topic of debate for the so-called fans, but most tracks are actually on the panels, with the lyrics somewhere around a radio or a window.

My first viewing was the Ultimate cut of Watchmen, I really liked how it blended the comic book stories of the Black Freighter into the movie, felt so unique, and similar to how they did it in the comic.

Subbed ! Congrats on reaction to WATCHMEN - I've seen all the Marvel and DC movies but this remains my favorite superhero movie - I think the events and dark tone are more like what it would actually be like if there were superheroes in real life - not all sunshine and roses. I think one of the most amazing things about this movie is that it can actually make you empathize with the Comedian even though he's a truly horrible person. One cool thing is at: 3:33 Night-Owl 1 is saving Bruce Wayne's parents - therefore BATMAN will never exist because his parents were never killed by a criminal and drive him to become BATMAN. (There's even BATMAN posters on the wall behind the action.) I always figured if I were a superhero I'd probably be the moth-guy who flips out and gets dragged off to a padded room. :D

How can there be "....BATMAN posters on the wall " if Batman was never created because of the exact event showing those posters? Whoever put that in screwed up big time. Batman was created from a fear of bats not from following a movie/book/poster character.

Another fun thing they did was Rorschach speaks very simple and childlike around people he doesn't care about, but only around Daniel and in his journal does he speak elegantly and cohesively.

44:00 to answer this... Walter Kovaks with the "end is nigh" sign keeps asking for a magazine or something from News Frontiersman. Maybe it's a paper company Rorschach trusts.

I was fucking trippin aswell when the movie ended (yesterday i watched it) Man it was a fucking journey It made me think a lot, there's a lot of philosophical concepts in this movie, i didn't even know where to start I love you reaction btw❤️

I hope you do the series. Its a great compliment.

Adapting watchmen was deemed impossible bcoz the novel had 13 issues and so much material. Also the ending was completely different where instead of a bomb. It was a trans dimensional Octopus monster made by veidt

Yes. In the graphic novel, Adrian's plan was to fool the world into thinking it was being invaded by interdimensional aliens to force the U.S. and Russia to unite in peace against the supposed threat, thus averting nuclear war. Adrian bioengineers a giant squid-like creature and teleports it into the middle of Manhattan, which results in millions of deaths. While it is a shocking plan, the squid creature was deemed so bizarre that Snyder and the scriptwriter felt that they needed to change the creature into an energy device Adrian uses to frame Dr. Manhattan for the destruction. So even though the plan is different in the movie, Adrian's goals are ultimately the same while managing to tie Dr. Manhattan to the story better than the novel does. John realizes that he has to keep Adrian's secret and leave Earth so the world will remain united against him, forever fearful that he may someday return to further smite them like an angry blue god.

Not sure if you guys would ever do TV reactions, but there's an absolutely amazing sequel series (also titled Watchmen) that aired on HBO recently. It has a couple small deviations from this film adaptation (namely, the nature of New York's destruction), but overall it's a perfect thematic and narrative continuation of this story and this world. :)

The guy who plays Nixon was a teacher of mine in highschool. Local actor named Robert Wisden... Been in a number of shows and movies. Cool guy.

I wish this movie was released now rather than it was back in 2009 when Superhero movies started to become mainstream. I genuinely believe it would’ve been much more appreciated in genre that’s becoming oversaturated.

Yeah I saw this movie when I was a 19 year old college student back in 2009 during it's release night. It honestly blew me away, I didn't think it was going to be that good. I had heard of the graphic novel but never read it until after the film, since then I became a fan as well of director Zack Snyder (also 2013's Man of Steel amazingly good). Very underrated movie that unfortunately didn't get a lot of attention or praise until much after it's initial release. Still one of my favorite sci-fi/comic book films to date.

Crank file = Crazy File Most jornals and book companies have the crazy email/letters Archive and other stuff they receive... About the bad reception of the Movie, was bc of like aways the so call "critcs" that said was too dark/complex for the regular ppl and swayd the opinion of the public about the movie, but for those who were fans of watchman and DC is was one of the best Superhero movies, bc Snyder really know how to make feel like a graphic novel and use the "dark/realistic" theme that DC have on some of the stories.

Great reaction guys! Thank you! Despite what a lot of purists say, I think the movie kept the heart of the story. It even improves the ending in my opinion. The places it fails a bit are in setting the scene. A lot of the audience didn't realize that only Manhattan actually had powers. Even Ozymandias was just supposed to be the pinnacle of human performance, but still within reach of humanity. If you liked this, you should check out the HBO series as well. It's outstanding, but know that it is truer to the ending of the novel, so try not to get confused if it mentions things that happened differently than this movie.

I agree...I actually think the ending of the film is more elegant and makes Jon's character even more important.
