Watchmen is quite possibly the most influential comic series ever. Written by Alan Moore and drawn by Dave Gibbons in 1986, it is a thorough deconstruction of the comic book medium and a commentary on Cold War-era politics. Watchmen is credited with revitalizing adult interest in the comic industry and ushering in a more mature tone for superhero stories. The comic is dense but exceptionally well written, with many interweaving plotlines that many considered unfilmable. However, the potential profits were too tantalizing to resist.In 2009, Zack Snyder directed his adaptation of Watchmen to mixed reception. Some audiences praised the film’s visual flair and apparent “updating” of Moore’s original story. However, fans of the original series often decry the adaptation for missing the point of the story. As necessary in an adaptation, Snyder had to trim parts of the original story to fit into a theatrical runtime. However, some of the scenes he cut and changed are integral to the foundation of Watchmen.In contrast, the movie shows Rorschach brutalizing Grice with a meat cleaver. While it’s brutal, it removes the measured psychopathy from Rorschach’s approach to crimefighting. He’s a lunatic who carefully plans and cultivates his quest for “justice.” Having him hack away with a cleaver makes him seem like more of a clumsy bruiser.
