Watchmen: A Clone without a Soul - Gareth Higgins - God’s Politics Blog: "It’s a color photocopy of the source novel — a clone without a soul. The novel aims to tell the truth about violence, but the film wants us to be excited by it. In a world with vengeance-fueled superheroes running the show, people would be afraid to be afraid, but the movie made me feel afraid for how we often tell the story of human beings to each other these days. The book mourns how we so often see violence as a positive path. But the film celebrates it."
