Watchmen - Motion Comics (DVD, 2009)

As a long time comic book fan, I was familiar with the general story of WATCHMEN, but had never actually read the comics or the graphic novel. After seeing and LOVING the blockbuster live action movie I decided to buy both the graphic novel AND the Motion Comic DVD. After watching the over 5 hour Motion Comic I was absolutely blown away by the powerful, emotionally deep, and mature story. The bad ratings on here are obviously from people who DO NOT understand that this story is NOT FOR CHILDREN. This is a comic book hero story for adults, possibly the best ever told.

VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY A +++++ EXCELLENT GREAT STORY!!!! IT IS A MUST HAVE ON YOUR DVD COLOECTION. MUCH MORE DETAIL THAN IN THE MOVIE>

I bought the Watchmen - Motion Comics just out of curiousity- I originally bought(and still own)the mid 1980's Watchmen comic maxi-series,so when this came out(right before the Watchman movie premiere)I decided to buy it. At 5 1/2 hours it goes through the entire series(all 12 issues)with limited(but pretty effective) animation,like my tittle says a comic book come to life.
The only real complaint I have is that one man does the voices-and I mean ALL the voices-including the women,which is really strange sounding.
Sidenote: Alan Moore's name dosen't show up at all in the credits even though he was the writer and co-creator of the characters- Basically because that's the ways he wants it.

I was very impressed with how this DVD showed exactly what it said it would. You see the actual comics with the exact wording, in motion and being narated. It was a great experience and I would like to see more motion comics.

I am a big fan of the graphic novel so I decided to buy the motion comics. It basically just goes through the comics with animated characters and settings. The animations are pretty slow and unnatural but I didn't really mind that. My biggest complaint is all of the characters are voiced by one male actor including the female characters. Overall this is a great buy that lets you relax and watch one of the best graphic novels ever written.

I have read the graphic novel at least 6 times. Seeing it animated and read to me brought out points I had missed. It was well produced, and not over animated. Great job to sticking to the original rendition. I gave it a Good instead of Excellent, because of the narration. The narrator did a fine job, even changed his voices a bit for the characters, but I think a feminine voice to handle the ladies would have been more helpful. A seperate voice for Dr. Manhattan would have been impressive, also. All and all, well worth watching.

If you can get past the fact that the female characters sound like men than this is a good buy. Goes along exactly with the book.

I bought it to compare to the newly released movie virgin. They could have done more with the characters in the movie. but all & all I was satisfied. Good story plot.

This movie was entertaining - mostly because it was very different from your typical superhero movie. However, I would not recommend this movie to small children. In my opinion, the graphic violence and sexual content was a bit too much for a movie based on a comic which many young people who will regretably and unknowingly view. Beyond this the movie has a good story line and the ending really made me think about the possible cost for world peace.
