This isn't good. It's just using the Watchmen property. Jeremy Irons isn't enough, even though I will miss Tim Blake Nelson. And Don Johnson flashbacks aren't enough. The plot strays way too far from the original dystopian story line, and no amount of baby squid showers are going to remedy that. It was cool to see Hooded Justice in action, but the occasional tip-of-the-hat to the original comic feels manipulative.
If I hear that characters like Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias provide more of a connection to the novel, I might revisit this. But for now, I'm done with it.
