Watchmen: The movies

Not so good. The book is like a tapestry. There are so many individual threads that make up the story of the watchmen. The thread with the sailor. The thread with the boy reading the sailor comic. The thread with the psychologist. The thread with the original Nite Owl. All of them make the Watchmen comic. The book is more than the sum of its parts, yet what you remember of the book are its parts, which hold your attention long enough, and have you panting for more even after you have turned the last page and put the book back onto the shelf. The movie is bland. It moves forward linearly, which is asinine at least for an adaptation of the watchmen. Overall a 2 out of 5.
