I watched it again after ten years because I didn't remember it at all. It is nicely done, it is getting nicely set up through the first half only to end up like any other superhero movie, caricature villain, not convincing at all about the utopia he wants to build. Veidt gets no character development and the actor did not do a good job at all. Silk spectre is also very bad and I found it hard to not cringe most of the times she or Veidt were on screen. Especially after watching the series you can see what the movie could do but instead it's just wasted potential. The movie left you no room to really wonder about the things the way the comic or the series did. Could have been better, should have been better.
