highly recommended
Ultimate Watchmen fnas must have
Great quality image and sound. Great movie in an
ultimate
cut
is awesome. It's like the comic book except in a modernized. Incorporation of The Black Freighter into director's cut is done incredibly well and it also extends the story in a very interesting way. Bonus disc such as
Watchmen
motion comic is a great additional to very complex movie. It's great to have an option to compare differences in a movie and in a comic book.
Overall, the movie itself is a visual feast and I am glad that there are directors such as Zack Snyder and talents that brought up this feature containing so many details and refferences of a fictional but very true to its time story.
Thumbs up!!!

No words to describe it
I gotta say that I'm from Medellin, Colombia, and that when I went to watch this movie in theaters I had no idea what it was about.
It blew my mind!!!
What a great movie!
So of course I went online to find out more about it, downloaded it the comic and the animated comic, and love them even more! When I heard about the
ultimate
cut
, I knew that I had to have this, and I don't regret it.
What a fantastic tale this is, and how well it was put on screen. I have no words to describe how perfectly this comic was made into a movie.
How fulfilling it is to think that there's still are companies who bet on projects like this.
I truly recommend that you buy this ultimate cut of
Watchmen
, like me, you won't regret it, not even a second!

Superheroes, the way they were meant to be!
When this movie originally was released in theatres, I decided to wait until the actual director's
cut
came out. Mainly because I wanted to get the fully idealized version of the film, and because I wanted to avoid all the
Watchmen
review civil wars that were going on at the time.
Anyway so as for the movie itself, this is based on Alan Moore's groundbreaking comic book maxi-series from the 80s(everyone forgets it was a comic 1ST and a graphic novel 2ND!). Moore wanted nothing to do with it, because he's had a bear up his butt ever since the last couple of movie fiascos based on his works(Constantine, From Hell, League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen). But Zack Snyder came along and made this sucker work. For the longest time, the project was plagued with doubt because no one really had any faith that it could be made into a coherent story. The mature nature of The Dark Knight helped cement the idea that not all superhero movies need to be corny action flicks
The story is set in an alternate history during 1985. Nixon is STILL President, and Congress has put a ban on superheroes. The Comedian, a former hero from a group called Watchmen, is mysteriosly murdered. Rorschach, the only active hero, sets out to find his killer. What follows is a look into the background of all these now-retired heroes. Nite-Owl is dreaming of his glory days, Silk Spectre tries to live a life away from her mother while comforting Dr. Manhattan(the only one with powers), and Ozymandias is creating a new type of energy source with his vast fortune. However, Rorschach gets framed for killing an ex-villain. Nite-Owl hooks up with Silk Spectre, and frees Rorschach, while Dr. Manhattan is cooling off on Mars because he is blamed for giving his former friends cancer. It turns out the entire thing was a plot by Ozymandias set to stop the nations of the world from going into nuclear war. A final confrontation between the remaning heroes results in them going along with Ozymandias' idea, despite all the deaths it caused, except for Rorscach who ends up as snow pizza.
Despite all the fanboy gripe that this movie got, there was an equal amount of praise for it. Most people's expectations got a little to high though, thinking that a Rated-R superhero movie would stay in the #1 spot for very long, which is unfortunate because that's how ALOT of jerks are going to insist on looking at it years from now. I thought the film as a whole captured all the important aspects of the original story, at least alot better than some other comic-based movies. This new Director's Cut brings some additional footage that was left out of the theatrical edition which adds more clarity to the plot, plus some scenes that weren't included at all like the death of the original Nite-Owl. I'd recommend getting this, BIGTIME.

Very good Cut
Firstly yes, I was a fan of the graphic novel before the movie was announced. That being said I liked the
watchmen
movie from the beginning with the theatrical version. Honestly people, the change in the ending just isn't that big a deal, they were trying to make the ending more appealing to those who were new to the Watchmen and it honestly makes sense too. They
cut
some things I wish they hadn't but that's what has to happen in the movie biz. The director's cut added a lot of important scenes back to the movie. I also enjoyed Tales of the Black Freighter. The
Ultimate
Cut takes the two and combines them and then some. The Black Freighter is split up and spliced in to the directors cut at about the right times. Doing this allowed the news stand scenes to be added back in, which was great. This is a long movie at about 3 and a half hours but it doesn't feel overly long. It looks like it has some great special features that I haven't checked out yet, and, of course, the digital copy that I will never use. The packaging is great, very high quality and much better than I was expecting given Amazon's thumbnail. If you are a fan of the graphic novel or a fan of the movie who wants to see as faithful a recreation as is possible this is for you.
