Why is there only one running time given? I've witnessed there seems to be a change in policy in Wikipedia, since all the films only have one running time given, even if there are a couple of versions out there. Can someone please help me? 87.174.213.6 ( talk) 10:45, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
The running time on the sidebar at the moment is the max. running time from the 'Ultimate Edition' disc. If that box must only contain one time, it should be the theatrical release, by default (2:45 according to the text. -- Registar ( talk) 21:14, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
Joel Silver critized Zach Snyder for being a " slave to the material" [1] and Snyder (and others) noted that the ending proposed by Silver would not have been acceptable to fans of the original. That's the short version.
My question is where best to include this information? It could be added to this article or particularly the details of the proposed ending to Production of Watchmen. It seems awkward to add comments from Silver and the response from Snyder to the Critical reception although it is interesting that Snyder says Watchemen his favorite of the films he has made. Maybe the right answer is to include bits of this new information across the articles in a few different places? Suggestions? -- 109.79.196.86 ( talk) 13:45, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Does he have something that much more significant compared to other top critics? Is there some Wikipedia rule I’m missing? On another note, I’ll be removing ‘satirical’ in the lead section due to being mentioned in very few sources, along with being disputed heavily https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/high-fidelity-zack-snyder-watchmen-and-missing-point https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/03/09/dark-visions https://www.indiewire.com/2014/03/zack-snyder-hits-back-says-he-made-watchmen-to-save-it-from-the-terry-gilliams-of-the-world-88511/ https://www.filminquiry.com/zack-snyder-master-right-wing-propaganda/ . I’ll also likely change ‘too confusing to understand’ in the critical reception lead since a study of the RT reviews says otherwise. Barely made one ( talk) 11:02, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
Since I see him mentioned first in most of the critical reception sections, I'll be placing him up accordingly and removing the magnification. It seems like a much more subtle and appropriate way of showing he's one of the more famous. Barely made one ( talk) 08:51, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
I was just considering whether an age rating should be present in the description of the film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ooh Saad ( talk • contribs) 14:35, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello! On the sidebar under "Based on" it says that Watchmen was by:
Alan Moore
(uncredited)
Dave Gibbons
Which one of the two is uncredited? I'm not sure whether it's a parenthesis following Moore's name or an indicator of a category for further names, i.e. Dave Gibbons. Thanks.
