Watchmen the movie was a bit of a disappointment in my eyes don't get me wrong I give him credit for for trying to adapt something like Watchmen onto the big screen but i thought it would have fared better as a mini series on HBO or show-time Watchmen (the films) main flaw was introducing characters and not doing ANYTHING with them. Watchmen was turned into an action movie when the graphic novel was clearly a character study. Call me a pretentious film nerd if you want but I'm a little skeptical about something like TDKR in Zach Snyders hands
I really don't see what the big deal is the people NEED to be skeptical of their leaders, I'd rather see people openly question the president then comply blindly. People are just exercising their first amendment rights.
I never really understood why they decided to leave this scene out, it just seemed so out of place to introduce Hollis and then do absolutely NOTHING with that character on screen, but now I'm really excited for the re-release of Watchmen. The first time I saw Watchmen the motion picture I went in with a bias and found it missing all of Watchmens' special elements namely the secondary characters you develop a connection with over the course of the novel, (which gave the books ending that lingering "umph".) But now with watchmens re-release I can leave my bias at the door and try to apreciate it as a film on its own.
