Customer Ratings & Reviews

Warner Bros is no longer including digital redemption codes with this title because they’re “expired”, even though the packaging states that a digital copy of the Ultimate Cut is included. There is no mention of expiration on the packaging. Digital is the only way to watch the UC without 4k. Warners “customer service” did not care about this fraudulent claim on the packaging and will not make the title eligible for disc to Digital on VUDU.

Watchmen is a great movie. Very faithful to the source material while making some necessary changes. Reviewing it as a 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray though, it falls a bit short. First, the obvious. 4K Blu-Ray is expensive. It's nice that it comes with standard Blu-Ray disks too, but it's still a lot to pay (especially for a movie I already own). Second, the transfer of this movie, while done well, is unfortunately upscaled to 4K. This is especially noticable when the movie attempts to meld CGI with real footage. This is not the studio being lazy with the transfer, but rather the fault of the movie itself only being originally mastered in 2K (like most older movies, and still a lot of new movies). Unfortunately, there's no discount for not being "true" 4K.

The story was good. The soundtrack was ok nothing memorable. Didn’t really care for the hero's except Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan. They were my favorite and only tolerable characters. I wanted to see Snyders earlier work on supes which is why I bought it. Its one of those movies you need to rewatch a couple of times to TRULY understand it. Although im sure it wont come close to Man of Steel or Batman v Superman UE. They are masterpieces and soon to come is Zack Snyders Justice League. Anyways id recommend still give it a chance.

Even if you've seen this before, it's a remarkably engrossing movie, Probably because of its amazing cast. It's also a movie that takes its time, introduces its heroes and makes their moral compasses very clear. This is the most effective use of Zack Snyder's particular style: dark backgrounds, sharp colors, slow-mo action, random splurts of blood,

This purchase was probably the best value for a Bluray that I've bought in a long time. 1) It was only $6.99 2) It came $8 towards seeing Batman vs. Superman 3) A Cool and sturdy Steelbook design and 4) It includes the definitive version of the film. If you can do without the Ultimate Set with the Hardcover book and other goodies, this is the version of the movie. While the Theatrical Cut is good, this 3 1/2 hour Director's Cut is amazing. As a bold and true retelling of the Graphic Novel, it is visually striking and translated fantastically. The entire second disc includes extensive featurettes that compliment the influence of the Watchmen in comics, modern vigilantism and commentary on society. Very recommended!

I saw this in the movie theater but I had not read the graphic novels back then. Now I am rewatching this again and It is a really awesome movie. Especially now that the HBO show is out. I have to say that I am disappointed in the 4K Ultra HD picture quality, if you pause it you will see the grainy image. However It is hard to compare this to new movies shot using new 4k cameras. The long version is LONG but that's why you are buying it! It is quite a masterpiece, great actors for each of the characters.

Worst review I can give. I was super excited to watch this digitally with a redeem code only to find out there ISNT one! All movies should have this by now its 2023! and if they dont it should be noted in a BIG HEADER on this listing on the main page of the title. Not cool, no I have to go buy a HDR 4K players for probably a lot of money that I dont want to spend.

This is the ultimate cut of the movie in 4k, including the animated portions. There is no seamless branching to the directors cut or the original cut. Instead they are relegated to Blu-ray discs. The 4k image is great, if a bit too dark. I would score this higher if it were not for the fact that the package includes a hodgepodge of prior released materials while leaving some out. This is NOT a definitive release despite being called the Ultimate Cut. If you can get past that, the release quality itself is topnotch. No new materials here however.

I'm a little disappointed in WB for only releasing the Ultimate Cut (the nearly unwatchable, 3 1/2 version) in 4k. I don't mind having The Ultimate Cut in 4k, for occasional viewing, however I feel WB should have also offered either the theatrical or directors cut in 4k as well. Also, the movie redeems only the Ultimate Cut in 4k. So basically I just bought something I'll barely watch and have to rebuy it again if they ever have the other cuts available in 4k.

This movie is so under appreciated, I will never understand why people did not like this movie. If you haven't seen this movie please watch it, and if you have seen this movie and didn't like it you should give it another try. I think the movie came out at the wrong time, I believe that if it would have come out this year, it would have been a bigger hit. The cast in this movie is really good. Jackie earle Healy as Rorschach, Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the comedian, billy crudup as dr Manhattan, Patrick Wilson as nite owl, and many others all kick a**in this movie.

I really enjoyed the Watchmen. I did it backwards, I read the comic AFTER watching the movie. I have to say, I've never seen a movie stay so close and true to the source material, whether comics or books. It's a miracle! Movie is really great, but don't be surprised if it takes a few viewings to take everything in. It's a modern day epic, and the comic is brilliant. The steelbook is my favorite version as it just looks awesome! I definitely recommend the comic and movie. Very unique and visually beautiful experience.

Overall this is a pretty good film adaptation of the legendary graphic novel with the same name. It's not perfect and certainly has it's issues as far as capturing the feel of the novel however that certainly doesn't carry over to the visual department what so ever. This film is visually stunning in every aspect which is wonderfully transferred over in this bluray release in an equally gorgeous steelbook case all around with the original comic book cover art and inlay artwork. For $8.99 this is a steal and i would highly recommend it.

Tremendous big-screen translation of the legendary graphic novel. After so many years of hearing about it, I made sure I finally read the book before the movie came out. Film couldn't include every aspect of the original story, and alters some elements of the plot, but I didn't feel disappointed over any of the omissions or changes. Despite reported unhappiness by author Alan Moore, I think the movie is an excellent adaptation of the source. It is altogether a great entertainment, exciting, dramatic, thought-provoking, and visually stunning.

I don't know the future of steelbook collectiblities but the buy price on the Watchmen was low enough I figured I'd take a stab. I liked the packaging. And I was originally going to use the free ticket to Superman Batman, but didn't so left it sealed. I have a regular copy of Watchmen with a PS3 game inside. The movie is a good reflection of the comic and definitely is not your average Spidey or Bat film. But if you want a fun ADULT ride hop on board I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did. And if you do then by all means pick up the original graphic novel.

Greatest comic book movie of all time. So happy for a Steelbook release. Got this one on sale and could not be happier, extended directors cut and the 'Tales of The Black Freighter' included. Who Watches The Watchmen? I do!

I really enjoy this movie and the ultimate cut is the way to go for sure. I love how they weave in the black freighter story at various points throughout the watchmen story breaking it up. I felt like having both stories going on kept the movie more enjoyable and kept my attention throughout considering how long the movie is. 4K picture looks fantastic especially on the scenes when the comedian gets thrown then the window at the beginning and you can see all the little fragments of glass in slow mo and Rorschachs face looks awesome as well.

I had previously purchased the blu ray disk, but when I saw it was available in 4k I decided to repurchase. The 4k version is a noticeable improvement so I"m glad I bought it. I was a little disappointed to find that one of the versions in this set is still the HD blu ray and not 4k I was a little disjointed, but overall I'm still satisfied.

The cinematography alone in this movie is worth the experience. With this being my first 4K Blu-ray purchase, it says a lot! Although I've been reading this is simply an upscaled 4K version of the 1080P Blu-ray which I'm sure is the case as most movies were not being shot in 4K cameras at the time. This is still a great version of the already cult classic Watchmen film! Highly recommended for fans of the movie and looking to get a better quality picture with their collection. :)

I didn't even realize when I went to see this in the theater that it was DC characters, nonetheless I enjoyed the variety of unique heroes, and those not so unique! I wish it had done well enough to spawn a sequel or prequel. Picking this up for $6.99 with an $8 movie pass to the new Batman v Superman actually turns a small profit. There is no free digital copy which is disappointing, but you do get a nice metal collectors case and they paid me to take it out of the store basically, so I withdraw my complaint.

Best movie of zack snyder's and in good price and in 4k the best quantity
