Many of the people who saw this movie when it came out were unfamiliar with the source material. This was before edgy superhero flicks were the norm, so it pissed a lot of parents off. Unclear marketing didn’t help in that department either. Additionally, critics panned it for being too narratively complex - in their minds, it either needed to be divided up into several movies (horrible idea), or simplified for the average consumer. Ultimately it isn’t the turn-your-brain-off, cookie-cutter experience that typically leads to commercial success and critical acclaim. Imo there were minor pacing issues, but other than that, it was the best Watchmen movie anyone could have hoped for. If it came out a few years later with a better marketing campaign, it could have done better in the box office - but it was never going to be an extremely popular film

Manhatten is not smart. Veidt is also stupid. The problem with the entire movie is the ending. The rest of the movie is great but the end is dumb. Manhatten likes Veidts plan and doesn't know that his plan will fail in the long run is stupid. Night Owl realizes the bad thing about that plan after Rorschach is killed, that it will leave behind a deformed humanity. Also since the newspapers have Rorschachs diary they will print it and the world might know that Veidt did all of those bad things. And when Manhatten left the planet there is no threat humanity can go against. Since Manhatten was an American citizen they might even combine their forces against America, so Veidt just killed millions for nothing, just to feel better by being "smart".

The logic behind the thoughts of Ozymandias was very simple - it is worth it to sacrifice "millions" in order to save "billions," as we heard him say in the movie. I did NOT like the Watchmen TV series version of Ozymandias.

Dr. Manhattan was more interested in not knowing what was happening than winning (I could turn the walls to glass) and then thought he was beyond failure only to realize Ozymandias wasn't trying to kill him, just distract him long enough (by vaporizing him) to kill millions of humans and blame Dr. Manhattan.

"What's that? Another Ultimate Weapon?" That's such an OP line. The line expresses the idea that Manhattan not only shrugs off Ultimate Weapons but does so unconcerned. Good writing!

When a go out my first watching of this film, I had a strange feeling, except for silk specter (the woman), I feel able to understand every points of view : Manhattan, Ozamndyas, Owl and Rorscharch. I was able to understand behond any moral position. The distance of Manhattan, the cold but necessary choice of Ozymandias, the good man in Owl and the cynical violent vigilante with no pity but obsessed by the truth Rorscharch. They all have a point of view you can understand. And for me, Ozymandias is not "evil". He is the answer of the abnormal presence of Doc Manhattan. Manhattan push the world near atomic holocaust, not deliberatly. Manhattan was an abnormal threat for world peace, changing history pushing humanity to a dead end. Ozymandias respond to save the world with a method equaly enormous. Manhattan was lesser and lesser affected by moral dilemna and empathy, Ozymandias need to answer with a same attitude, cold mind, no ethic, just cold mathematics to permit survival of humanity. The same way than Spock in Star Trek : logic. Accept the lost of a few to save majority. Except Spock sacrifice himself. Not Ozymandias.

Nah. Ozymandias is evil af!! He stopped being a "good guy" and became the problem. "The ends justifies the means." That is where Rorschach had it right. He represents the morality, the knowledge of good and evil. The belief that good should win over evil and that the TRUTH of "How We Got Here" is as important as getting here. Ozymandias is just another arrogant idiot savant - someone who thinks he knows more than you and can tell you how to live. Failure to believe in his plan leads to your death. Yeah, he's evil.

He didn't. He orchestrated a plan, at great risk to himself, even allowed himself to get hurt (a sociopath would *Never* allow that) for it to work, in order to save humanity from itself. Oz cares about everyone, but he knows that to make the superpowers put away their differences and stop fighting, they need a bigger threat than eachother to unite against. This is even more obvious in the comics. The plan can basically be boiled down to; The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few. He might be a megalomaniac, but a sociopath? No.

Veidt and Manhattan are two of the best characters ever conceived.

All I've ever been able to think about is what a Dr Manhattanized version of that cat would be like.

Those events that are so tiny are the size of universes and galaxies. He's actually telling you how large of an entity he is himself to see an entire universes timeliness past by but to also see it slo MO and in an instant is a boost to how powerful he is over himself.

"I have walked across the surface of the sun" is a great line that really captures that Oz is dealing with a being that is different, not in degree, but in kind. Reminds me of the book of Job in the Bible, where God is questioning/humbling Job by asking him a series of questions about existence, and among them is this: “Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place." A being with that type of power is difficult to even comprehend.
