Chapter 1 came out late last year and Chapter 2 not long ago. If you're a fan of the novel it's worth a watch. Animated in the style of the novel and is a shot for shot version in most parts.

It even has Tales of the Black Freighter (the comic book being read in the Watchman) in it. Which was nice to see. A very faithful adaption.

It took some scrolling on MAX for it to even pop up as a recommendation so figured I'd mention it for those that enjoy the story that might not know it's available.

Watched them both. Very faithful adaptation to the comics.

Cool. Wish they would do more Spawns. That animated version on MAX is also excellent.

Thanks. I love the film, though many comic fans don't.

I really liked the film as well. They kind of copped out with the ending not being a monster and just going with a bomb, but still for the most part a very fun movie. Perfectly cast as well. Don't think anybody could have played Rorshach, Veidt, and the Comedian better than they did.
