I enjoyed it, but the UAE censors cut it to bits

Having not read the graphic novels, I can only say that whilst it was a beautiful film to look at, the constant cuts and jumps were incredibly frustrating.

I guess I just don't understand Islam at all. It's alright to show graphic violence and murder, but a d1ck is considered beyond the pale?

Weird.

Well i thought the movie was ok but it could have been better. I really didnt like the ending though. I thought it was a bit rushed towards the end. . .

And in reply to that, I would have to say that clearly you have nor the mental capacity or artistic appreciation to be able to cope with such a film. Go stick to run of the mill, prectiable movies would you. Cheers.

On comments on Zacks directing abilities. I loved 300 and is one of my fav movies watched it at the theater and everytime its on telly I watch it plus a few more times on DVD.

Although also not having read the graphic novel on that one I loved the imagery, the back drops, the sound track on that one. There is nothing bad I can say about that movie. Oh and Gerad butler was brilliant as leonidas. Perfect casting choice.

While maybe trying to replicate 300 success. Watchmen was truly one of the most crappiest movies i've seen this year. From the trailers it looked like it had potential but was a utter disapointment. Maybe hard core fanboys of franks novels enjoyed it.

But as a standalone for someone whose never heard of the watchmen before.....BORING.
