A faithful adaptation of the Watchmen graphic novel executed in an animation style that mirrors the source material (Anticipated MPAA R Rating).
His Watchmen was painfully literal, goofy, and slavishly faithful to the source material without for a moment understanding what makes it work.
In 2009, he tackled an even more dense and beloved graphic novel with Watchmen and began his long, illustrious career in mangling things comic book nerds love.
Moore’s deconstructionist tendencies come out in the characters — best to let them live.
