dystopia on 27 July 2009
I think it's just important to realize they didn't call watchman unfilmable for 20 years for no reason. The narrative structure would be very challenging to replicate on film, especially given the length of the source material, and while i agree that it wasn't as cohesive as it could have been, being a long time fan of the graphic novel and having read it long prior to seeing the film i thought they did a decent job at bringing the core concepts which the novel addresses to the screen. visually it was spot on, and i think the actors did a good job all things considered. read the novel, you will understand then why it ended up the way it did on screen, it's very challenging source material.
