A "director's cut" (a warning as much as anything) of Watchmen will be released for one week only in July in just four U.S. cities: Los Angeles, Dallas, Minneapolis, and New York.It will be interesting to hear how this longer version (with 28 minutes of additional mind-blowing excitement) will appeal to the fans; who were just about the only people who went to see Watchmen's regular release earlier this year.

It was never a case of the film not being long enough... the structure/pace was the least of its problems. It took everything superficial from the graphic novel... which was a shame, when you consider that Alan Moore's stated intent with WATCHMEN was to strip away the superficiality from superhero comics. And how can you have the greatest, most cinematic opening in comics on page 1 of WATCHMEN and not use it as the opening of your film?!
"It was never a case of the film not being long enough... "
I believe it.
