There's additional versions of the Watchmen film to come that sound great:

Quote:
The theatrical version of Watchmen has been rated MA 15+ in Australia and R in the US. It runs to 161 minutes plus change.
Director Zack Snyder promises two longer versions this year, the director's cut at 190 minutes, and the 205 minute Black Freighter version, which is the Directors Cut with an animated cartoon edited into the narrative, as per the graphic novel. Snyder has also said that the Directors Cut will be more violent and sexually explicit. It's not clear yet whether this footage was cut for the US R rating, or it's just extended juicy material.

I thought Watchmen was brilliant. One of the best things I've seen at the cinema in a long time. Not watered down to cater for the mass audiences, it's a breath of fresh air from Hollywood.
