3.0 out of 5 stars Watchable, March 10, 2009
By 
This review is from: Watchmen Motion Comic: The Complete First Volume (Amazon Instant Video)
Nice rendition of the comic graphic novel. Excellent for those who can't handle the book well for some reason (e.g. having movement disabilities). Motion is an intriguing add. Not really necessary if you own the book, but cute. Buy the set of all 12 and it can be watched like a DVD, giving you a movie-like experience. Single episodes work well thru iTunes and Windows Media Player. One major flaw - there is only a single male narrator, even for female voice parts, and this is unsatisfying. Also, the narrator's voice is too flat, using barely any inflection - this doesn't work well in many spots. Rating this a touch over 3 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Watchmen, Ch 1, January 4, 2009
This review is from: Watchmen Motion Comic: The Complete First Volume (Amazon Instant Video)
It was quite a novelty to have Watchmen read to me as I followed along with the animated panels. I have read Watchmen many times and was still entertained by this format. However, I have to agree with the other posters who pointed out that the narrator was also portraying the women of Watchmen: when he first voiced Laurie it was jarring enough to make me chuckle ruefully. It was sort of a disappointment. True, all other books on tape (dating myself a bit there, eh? Hurm...) have single narrator who does all voices and I don't mind him doing most of the characters, but hiring one woman to handle the ladies of the cast would have been nice.

Still, the music and mood are quite good, the narrator has a pleasant voice, and the technical execution of the animation is really clever and well done. A nice diversion for the true Watchmenphile. I think I will pay for at least one more episode before deciding whether to collect them all.

Overall, a classy, respectful and well done effort. 4 Stars.
