Forget that movie you saw. It has nothing to do with the original book. Watchmen is the perfect story along with perfect characters, text, exact art and plot yet to be surpassed. Maybe, and I said maybe, it should be a 20 hour cinematic extravaganza. But never with that kind of long form advertising. It has more to do with good cinema and storytelling than expensive special effects. Nevertheless, it is perfect as it is here. In print or on the iPad. Two and a half hours of manicured images will never match Gibbons, Moore and your imagination working together.
