In this Golden Age of superhero movies, the impossible has become reality - from ensemble showdowns like "Captain America: Civil War" to genre-blending successes like "Logan," it's clear this sub-industry has truly come into its own. And yet, for all its achievements, the modern age of superhero movies also produced a blockbuster adaptation of the single most celebrated comic book series of all time - Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen - early on in its cycle. But unlike the superhero movies it preceded, Watchmen didn't strike a chord with audiences or critics, despite sticking to the source material as much as possible. So... what happened? How did the Watchmen film fail? 9 years after its release, it's time to get some answers.
