But it took itself way too serious in the 2nd half. Could have been great, if he only could kept the pace and the style of the 1st half. Instead of an honest 8, here it has 6.5, rounded to 7. The 2008 'Watchmen' remains the best comic adaptation.

All the fuss, all the references, all the pretense, all anti-dogma - all for a conformist ending. The self-appointed 'visionary' artist has proved to be just an ordinary Christian looking for redemption through his art. Hypocritical and - somehow - pathetic and disappointing end. Normally, this is a 4, but got an extra point for the actors.

the start was very good, and I expected great things to come. Unfortunately, the film goes on in confusion, the characters undeveloped, and the cinematography just showing off. After one hour, it was already boring, and wishing to end soon. The 2006 movie was way better than this... commercial business (as anything Christopher Nolan put his hands on, since 'Insomnia'). And there is no fun in it, just two or three lines thrown at the start and at the end of the movie. From Zack Snyder I expected great vision, like in its masterpiece 'Watchmen' - but there is no epic tale, but only a justification for futile big smashes and grand destruction - thus resulting into an overrated self-indulgent pile of (s)crap(s). All in all, a great disappointment from Mr. Snyder, but understandable, since Mr. Nolan produced this. Big money, but no art. An easy forgettable flick.
