Watchmen:The Motion Comic

I had my doubts about the worth of the Motion Comic version of Watchmen. After all I've seen the live action film and I read the actual comic - of which this is simply a slightly animated version - years ago. It's worth seeing though. Though it is panel for panel and word for word the same as the original with just a little added movement there is something about it, something about the narration that focusses the attention on the words. As with all projects based on his work you will not find Alan Moore credited anywhere, it's his policy not to allow it, and while I respect his consistency it is certainly the words that are important here. Read out loud they are not realistic dialogue but they are almost hypnotically poetic. The narration draws you in even more than reading the words on the page draws you in.
You should buy the comics, the film, the extra DVD of Black Freighter and Under the Hood and you should also buy this. All of them tell the story in their own way but if you don't like comics and don't fancy the movie you should certainly take a look at this. Unlike the movie it doesn't alter the ending and it doesn't skip on detail. It is the comic but in a form that you can watch.

I was wrong. It is a worthwhile addition.
