Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a big fan of the Watchmen movie, and I really like the Director's Cut, but the Ultimate Cut is not that great. I didn't think the inclusion of the animated story worked very well. It take away from the movie. I hope that one day they will just release the directors cut on 4K

Loaded with extras and another ultimate cut of Watchman.

Not what i was suspecting but the movie had some good scenes but just wasnt into it

Watchmen was quite the polarizing film when it came out - fans of the comic either finding it too close or too far away from the source material. It is a little slow (even more so in the extended editions) but it certainly drops you into that world. This release includes a regular blu-ray of the directors cut, and then the UHD is the even longer ultimate cut. The UHD is a 2K uprez (do to the film being edited and mastered at 2K, despite the film sources). Between the 2K uprez and the rather strange HDR grading, as well as the fact that you're not getting an Atmos upgrade like the Man of Steel UHD, it's kind of a hit or miss release. Super fans, pick it up, regular fans are probably okay to stick with the already great looking and sounding blu disc. Of Note: while the box lists DTS Master Audio (and the regular bluray is that), the UHD is a Dolby True HD track. No real big deal as both are lossless codecs once bit streamed out, but just letting people know.

This film may not have been a huge blockbuster that everyone hoped it would be but I find it very intriguing. Every character has very interesting back stories and the movie does a great job of spending an appropriate amount of time with each character. While it can feel a bit long at times, and it can be very dark as well, I find that I have enjoyed this movie the more times that I have watched it. Also, even though it isn't exactly like the comic, I felt it was a fair adaptation that was very close to the source material. So you should watch the Watchmen too! Steelbook doesn't really provide many additional features other than the extra widescreen format. I had the original on DVD and felt I needed the upgrade, plus I'm a sucker for steelbook. But if you aren't a steelbook collector, then it isn't very necessary to get this version if the regular case is available.

No digital code in it. Also movie sounds same as regular bluray formats. This should be remastered for sounds and picture quality. I might give to somebody.

I had been wanting to see Watchmen for years. I think I only paid $9.99 for the Steel Book Blue Ray. I had heard many of my friends opinion of this movie. And, some thought it was great, while others kind of felt like me, I guess. I purchased the Directors cut, so it was even longer than the theatrical release. There were some very cool effects and a few of the characters seemed to be thought out well. Overall I am on the fence. I might need to watch it again to see if I gain a different perspective. Personally for me I would not recommend the movie unless they are die-hard fans of the graphic novel.

Yes, these characters exist in th comic book realm. And they got their own movie. Unfortunately, it's had to follow, likely because there are so many, and that unless you've freak the graphic novels, you likely know nothing about them, compared with Batman, Superman, and other DC Comics characters that have had other TV and even theatrical outings. So it is different than the typical comic book movies you've grown to expect. Not bad; just different.

If the acting wasn't so terrible, and it wasn't so ridiculously long, this could've been a great movie. The dialogue was average at best; however, the fight scenes and visual effects were most impressive. This is not something a person would want to watch more than once unless you were a fan of the graphic novel.

Never was much for many DC comics and this movie reminds me why. If you don't know much about Watchmen, do research before watching, otherwise you'll be confused for the whole 3 1/2 hours this goes on. Still, not a bad movie, just way too long to get to the point.

This is an ok show if you like the comic that it is based on then you will enjoy it. It does tell the story of heroes if they were real in resent history. It is a very gritty show and definitely not for kids.

A religious adherence to the original text keeps this film from finding its own voice. Its always good but never great, often beautiful but never gripping.

This review is about the 4K not the movie. Worst 4K movie I have seen, and I have about 15. Virtually no extra detail and hdr is non existent. If you have this on bluray don't upgrade unless you want the ultimate cut.

I watched this movie when it first came out in theaters and thought it was alright. So, I thought I would try it again years later and still think it's pretty decent, but nowhere near as good as the graphic novel.

I honestly only bought it to get the Batman v Superman coupon and see this movie again. It could've been more like the graphic novel series and needed a big dose of color correction. But for $7 I'm not complaining.

The movie's plot is cramming lots of material and because of that, the story is not very interesting to non-fans. But it definitely has style in its presentation.

If you are into really really long movies and have an entire day or night or weekend to watch then this is for you.

This is a good movie but the UHD version is a little too dark and drab. It's similar to the UHD transfers of Batman vs. Superman and Man of Steel. The movie is a little too long in this Ultimate cut.

I have only seen this movie on TV, it was like $6 on sale in Blu Ray so it was an impulse buy. When I watched it, I was impressed. NOTE: I love super hero movies like this, so my views may be swayed.

Love the graphic novel and it's great to see it on a big screen but despite the fantastic visuals, the poignancy just doesn't seem to hit as it does in the comic. Still certainly recommend it though.
