It's very good, under th hood is quite appropiate but tales of the black freighter is extremley grusome and grisly. Best for adults.

If you liked the Watchmen book or movie, watch half of this
I did enjoy the "Watchmen" book and I'm planning to see the movie. If you've read the graphic novel, you'll recognize the "Black Freighter" story as having appeared a piece at a time - and it was much easier to take that way. The animated feature is thoroughly disgusting. I recognize that "Watchmen" itself is very dark and violent, but it takes a sick mind to enjoy a feature like this one. That being said, if you enjoy the super-hero story, rent this one for the "Under The Hood" segment. It's a "60 Minutes" style documentary about the characters from the movie that will give you some insight into their history, and is worth watching.

If you have a short attention span, DO NOT GET!!!!!!!
If you've read the book and seen the movie and are planing on a ggreat little addition to it, I'm sorry, but you are saddly mistaken. Rember in the book with the black freighter comic inside the graphic novle. Well the make about a 20 minute segment of that. Rmember the book "Under the Hood" by the character Hollis Mason? They have about a 40-50 minute segment of that. And trust me, if you have a short attention span, you'll lose interest very quickly. Then they have a 40 minute segment on them making the real movie, and a little part on making the black freighter. Then they show the first chapter of the "Watchmen Motion Comics." Then they show a ten minute segment showing of "The Making of 'THe Green Lanter.'" Unless your addicted to that you'll just fast forward. to Find out you wated $4-$25 to see about 20-60 minutes of what you really wanted to see.
