I was very nervous about a film adaptation of The Watchmen. I really wasn’t sure Zack Snyder could properly pull off a faithful, yet crowd pleasing rendition of the classic graphic novel, since the source material didn’t really lend itself to a big screen telling. I know a lot of people didn’t like the film, surprisingly enough I did. Oh it had it’s flaws, and I wouldn’t go so far as to say I LOVED it, but I did enjoy it and thought it was pretty solid.
The movie is also LONG. At over two and half hours, it’s hard to believe there was too much left on the editing room floor. Well… the forthcoming directors cut is over three hours.
One of the key deleted scenes (that I really wish they had left in the movie) was the death of Hollis Mason (the original Night Owl). You can check out the scene here:
