Trivia
(at around 6 mins) The commercials used in-between segments of this feature are genuine commercials from the 1970s, except with newly recorded voice-overs. The exception to this is the first commercial (Veidt Nostalgia), which ties in with the character of Ozymandias, played by Matthew Goode, from the main Watchmen (2009) movie.

Under the Hood: Never stood a chance with me sadly

I'm not a fan of the Watchmen, in fact I'd go as far as to say I really don't like it. I've never understood the appeal, I understand what they were going for but I just don't enjoy it.

Going into this little side piece from the 2009 movie, a 40 minute faux documentary piece I knew it never really stood a chance.

It's created in the form of a news show, a host interviewing the former heroes and looking back at their storied careers.

The fact they got some of the original cast involved is impressive, especially the excellent Carla Gugino and Matt Frewer.

The presentation is great, but this is aimed at fans and only fans.

The Good:

Great cast

The Bad:

I don't see the appeal

More than slightly boring
