Watchmen - yet another version

Post by warshipadmin »

So far we've had the original comic (great) the film (pretty good) the sequel TV series (great) and now the animated version.

Well it is pretty much the comic turned directly into a cartoon. I'm not quite sure what the point is. If you've read the comic or seen the film then this is just a low res and long winded retelling. The animation style is Hanna-Barbera in quality.

Sounds like some risk-adverse C-suiter trying to tap into nostalgia to wring out a few more bucks from a previously profitable idea.

Well they got me so I suppose it worked. I'd like to see a further riff on the TV series, as that is probably in my Top 10 or 20.
