The mark is missed but it's watchable just for the portrayal of Dr. Manhattan, which is superb. Rorschach and The Comedian are also good.
There is something about Tarkovsky films that I think is diminished by analysis therefore I will keep my thoughts to myself.
I feel like I would've liked this more if I'd never seen a WWII movie or didn't understand before going into how horrible the period was for those involved. I did like it but I think I could've liked it more. It does a fantastic job of portraying how horrid the main character and other's descent into destitution was. It doesn't pull any punches. It treats the audience with respect. Brody's performance is great, mostly because of how much he is able to change throughout the film. I liked how (comparatively) lucky Brody's character kept getting throughout the movie because I thought it served as a commentary on how nearly-impossible it was for someone to survive in his shoes. I did feel as thought the film, as a whole, was missing something though I don't know how to say it without calling it boring, which it wasn't.
