USA Today - Claudia Puig
: In the canon of comic-book movies, it's not as campy bad as the Batman starring George Clooney, but nowhere near the caliber of the Spider-Man movies or The Dark Knight.

Reelviews - James Berardinelli
: Aside from Haley, who brings energy to his interpretation of the disturbed Rorschach, none of the principals are memorable.

Filmcritic.com - Sean O'Connell
: Depending on which timeline you follow, Hollywood has spent the better part of the last 20 years trying to adapt Moore and Gibbons' magnum opus from page to screen. It was worth the wait.

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
: Watchmen isn't boring, but as a fragmented sci-fi doomsday noir, it remains as detached from the viewer as it is from the zeitgeist.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Throughout the entire movie I was lost about what was going on. There is nothing to explain. | | | | Reply | | |

The movie was interesting and entertaining, but strictly not for children. I loved the movie. | | | | Reply | | |

this movie was not so interesting as i expected it to be. because of the sex scenes you cannot even watch it with your children. it focuses more on moral dilemmas than action. not worth watching it in the theatres. | | | | Reply | | |
