  Is the discussion &quot;deep vs. dumb&quot; or &quot;true to the original vs. unfaithful adaptation&quot;? I had a hard time telling if you guys made that distinction at any point. You can take source material and deliver a completely different, still deep message. Deviating from the original point doesn&apos;t turn something dumb by default, the metric shouldn&apos;t be how closely it follows the comic in my opinion, but what messages it brings as its own experience.

  Watchmen is one of those films that changes with my age. First saw it at 15 and liked the violence and slow mo, then at 21 and got all the pop culture references now at almost 26 figuring out the subtext and metatext. For me it’s only got better with age. I can’t wait to see how it changes in the years to come.

  I didn&apos;t read Watchmen until after the movie and instead of it causing me to hate the movie, it gave me an even greater appreciation of the thing.

  Opinions will always differ, but, to me, this movie is a master piece. How Zack managed to portray perfectly music and slow motion iconic scenes. This movie is dope for a depressed person, it really hits on the nostalgia and reach catharsis with the violence, showing how truly fucked up the humanity really is.

  I watched Watchmen in the movie theater when it came out with my husband and my brother. We left the theater going &quot;that was so dumb. what the hell did we just watch?&quot; but as I thought about the movie over the following months, I really started to appreciate it more and more. By the time it was released on DVD I couldn&apos;t wait to watch it again, and think harder on a lot of the themes of the movie. It is still to this day one of my favorite films.
