9/10 Watch if you liked: Zack Snyder’s Justice League , The Boys (but darker), Se7en (with capes). Avoid if: You need your heroes to be likable or your runtimes under two hours.
If you are coming to Watchmen for the first time, skip the theatrical version. The is the most balanced narrative experience, while the Ultimate Cut is a mandatory rite of passage for enthusiasts of the source material. It is a dense, beautiful, and cynical masterpiece that proved superheroes could be more than just Saturday morning escapism.
