Good story
By King1and (148 reviews) from South Gloucestershire , 08 Apr 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
Let me start by saying for all you who think this is, Watchmen 2 or the original Watchmen it's NOT!
This is one of the, 'in film comics' that superhero's read in, Watchmen' the film. As one of the writers says on the DVD when talking about The Black freighter, Superhero's wouldn't read about other Superheo's they would read something different, maybe Pirate stories.
The DVD is made up of 3 parts, the Black freighter story, (in comic book form ie. animation). First chapter of the Watchmen film in comic book form and actors, writers and production staff on the next release by DC Comics called, 'The Green Latern'.
All interesting, but would like to have the Black freighter longer, it lasts about 30 mins. Probably my fault for not checking properly but nonetheless good chiller.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good - as long as you know what to expect!
By Greenmekon (1 review) from Telford , 12 Feb 2011I enjoyed this as a stand-alone, but probably because I had already read the Watchmen graphic novel and it was interesting to compare animation to drawn graphic. I also wanted to 'fill in the gaps' created by its removal from the film.
If you haven't read the book (or seen the Watchmen film) you may not get too much out of this on its own. It is what it is - part of a much larger whole.- Was this review helpful to you?

Watchmen:The Black Freighter
By oli74 (44 reviews) from olisykes74@gmail.com , 16 Nov 2010Having been a fan of the comic since I was 12, I don't understand why the portion was not in the film! Admittedly I wanted the film to be 12 hours long, a 20 minute cartoon would not have made much difference. If you like Watchmen the comic, yes. if the film wasn't your cup o' tea, no.- Was this review helpful to you?
