Suffice it to say, Watchmen is not really a great movie in itself, and for reasons that probably aren't worth rehearsing at great length here, I seriously doubt that the comic CAN be adapted well to film. Maybe someone could make a good movie with the same characters and broad plot outline, but the things that make the comic so highly regarded are very specific to the medium. So for the folks who do know and love the comic, I'm just trying to point out that there's a level on which the film can still be enjoyed even though it (probably necessarily) fails as self-contained cinema.

O'Reilly Tue, 10 Mar 2009 04:41:40 +0000 http://www.juliansanchez.com/?p=2957#comment-6961 This post is silly. Why shouldn't "Watchmen" be considered as a stand-alone film, considering that is how the vast majority of the people who see it will come to it? And why shouldn't it be great? Unless the rule is that no adaptation of a great work from another medium can ever be great. This post is silly.
