Watchmen

Watchmen by Alan Moore is probably my most favorite story of all time. Every time I crack open the pages, I find something I missed before. Personally, I think Zack Snyder did a brilliant job in the adaptation. His attention to detail was enough to make comic fans drool, but all of his significant changes to the plot really helped bring the story into the modern world, as well as make it more presentable and understandable to a new audience. One piece of criticism is voiced over and over again: male nudity. Some boys will never grow up. There is significant meaning behind Dr. Manhattan’s nudity – his complete departure from the human race and therefore modesty, for one – but there’s no use telling that to the gaping, embarrassed, intimidated brat heehawing in the front row.
