No idea why this is getting so much praise. There was no reason to make this film. It is almost exactly scene for scene, word for word the same movie as Zack Snyder's Watchmen, but worse in every way.
1. The voice acting is insanely bad. Just abysmally bad. Rorschach talks really fast and nobody has any enthusiasm. It sounds like they are just saying the lines without even acting. If you watch the 2009 Watchmen and then watch this one, the voice acting is so bad in comparison it ruins the entire movie. There is no emotion in any line in this entire film.
2. Obviously the cinematography, choreography, and all visuals are utterly garbage in comparison to 2009 Watchmen. I wouldn't normally care if this movie wasn't identical. What's the point of making literally the exact same movie again but worse? All of the little details from 2009 Watchmen are just gone and replaced by cookie cutter youtube-level shorts. It feels like every scene was made by somebody who was forced to make it. There is 0 passion. They probably made this in a week. With AI.
And there is no reason this is 2 chapters. Just a way to try and make extra money. There is not much else to say since all the scenes, dialogue and story are the same as 2009 Watchmen. Just go watch 2009 Watchmen. This movie shouldn't exist. Makes sense it is not streaming for free. Cash grab. Truly terrible.
