The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.�

Speaking as someone who read the graphic novels a long time ago.

In sum;

Watchmen was OK, but quite underwhelming.

srsly, it's totally played out, like bas chops. lol j/k bas chops will never get old.

I'm a huge fan of the graphic novel, like, I fucking love it, and I was pleased with how closely they translated it to film. It was obvious that they tried really hard to be faithful to the original story, but I thought they still came up tragically short. There were so many scenes that were incredibly powerful in the comic that simply lacked the same emotional significance when translated to film. In fact, pretty much every scene felt watered down.

I didn't expect too much out of the movie so it wasn't a major disappointment. It was definitely enjoyable, but it could have been so much more. If you really liked it and haven't read the original you really should. Its so much more visceral.

thought it was mostly average. and the re-creation of comic scenes might've pleased the comic book fans but they felt a little forced or obvious to me.

was still worth seeing though.
