Review of Watchmen

Watchmen (2019)
6/10
Boring plot and characters that chain a Political Beast
15 July 2021
I absolutely love the worldbuilding in this series. But the fundamental ideas were done far better in the sequel comics, this is by far the worst portrayal of Rorschach's legacy compared to Doomsday Clock and Rorschach (comic by King). There's no dissection of his original beliefs, they took a minor fan theory then ran it into the ground so hard it made the 7th Kavalry generic after episode 2.

I think this show would have benefitted from adapting some of the material from the comics, such as the 2nd Rorschach or psychologist's son in Doomsday Clock who was on a similar level of complexity as the original character in terms of backstory and morality.
