From its dark opening scene, Zack Snyder’s “Watchmen” establishes a complex blend of murder mystery, social commentary, and unrepentant action flick. This mood is immediately set as brawny Edward Blake (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) fails to fight off an unidentified attacker in his home. Viewers—assuming they have not read the graphic novel—can only speculate as to the assassin’s identity, but Blake knows, telling his killer that their world is a joke before he is hurled out a high-rise window.Creating this world has required...
