Justin is right. …
Justin is right. Snyder falls way short in the ideas department, which is a real shame. Without the perspective of decent ordinary folks, the film vulgarizes the politics to a choice between libertarian reaction and cynical liberalism. Crucially he alters Rorschach’s formative experience. The public gang rape was balanced in the novel by the crowd that fights back in solidarity with each other right brfore the blast. Who watches the watchmen? WE DO! The film is great but a real let down too.

Thought it was …
Thought it was great, but the sex scene had us bending over our chair looking for “invisible change land” because we came to see watchmen, not a o with “hallelulia” in the background X_X

Why must Justin and Pete disagree about everything? T_T

Squid works because its external.
Changed ending works because the energy attacked AMERICA. Thus making him external after the attack.

I loved the graphic novel BUT I went in to the theater not thinking “how is this going to compare.” As soon as the lights went down, I dived right into that world and it was fantastic. It was fun and exciting and sexy and violent and everything a comic book movie should be.

Grade A
It’s a great adaption movie. I give Zack creds for pulling it off. I’ve had faith in his directing skills since Dawn of the Dead and I wasn’t let down by his job on 300.

Not the best opener or box office winner in the long term in my opinion but DVD and BLU Rays will do well.

The visuals were intense and Alan Moore’s charcters were portayed precisely.

I was annoyed by the plentiful “smurf- -mandingo” and so little Malin Akerman in the “buck”.

It, in my opinion, made no sense in any culture, especially now. As I watched it, I was thinking, “Man, this is really deep and clever”, and of course this film is supposed to make you think, so I did. I found that thinking only made the end feel stupid because Nixon declaring peace with Russia just because they happened to not blow up a city is ludicrous. Also, overall, the tone never really took itself seriously except for in the flashbacks and the poor ending, so it was hard to feel emotion.

The movie ending …
The movie ending makes more sense for this post-9/11 culture than if the producers stuck with the original GN ending.
