Synopsis:
This is a shorter cut of Watchmen edited down from the director’s cut. While the overall story and the key plot points are still there, some of the minor character arcs have been abbreviated and some redundant exposition have been cut. This is a much faster paced cut of this epic movie.
Intentions:
I know a lot of fanboys will be upset that this edit doesn’t replicate the comic, but my goal was to make a shorter cut, not a longer one. I’ll leave that for Warner Brothers to release the Ultimate Extended Unrated Exactly like the Comic Director’s Cut Limited Collector’s Edition Boxset. (You all know it’s coming. Studios love to triple dip their DVD/Bluray releases.) Instead, this edit may appeal more to those who are not hardcore Watchmen fans and just want to be entertained by a faster paced cut of this epic movie. Kudos to Zach Snyder for translating this ambitious story and its characters to life for the big screen, from a graphic novel that many said would be unfilmable.
Change List:
This is a shorter cut of Watchmen edited down from the director’s cut. I tried not to alter the overall story too much and the key plot points are still there. Some of the minor character arcs have been abbreviated and some redundant exposition have been cut. There are about 80 edits in total. The final runtime is even 29 minutes shorter than the theatrical cut.
