So I went and saw Watchmen finally. And no, I haven't read the comic.

Cut for spoilers )

I KNOW RIGHT! Except he got to ACTUALLY kick ass instead of being just the rock-steady guy.

I think I agree with you overall.

Some things I liked:
* Opening sequence was very pretty.
* Night Owl and Rorschach <3
* Plot was less obnoxious than the comic book, especially the ending.
* Great soundtrack choices.

Some things I didn't like:
* obnoxious 80's suits. :P
* Oxymandias. Yawn.
* Dr Manhattan was pretty poorly done effects-wise and it was really distracting for me.
* Movie was way too long and backstory heavy. (Great for comic book, blah for movie)

Overall, I don't really feel anything. But at least I didn't hate it like I did the book. :D

YES ON OZYMANDIAS. I mean, the guy was just... oatmeal.

Yeah, I really don't have any interest in reading the comic book after seeing this movie. Some of the dialogue (especially coming out of Rorschach) was just so inane and almost melodramatic...

Yeah, inane and melodramatic is Alan Moore for ya. :P

They cast a great actor for Rorschach or it would have been a DISASTER. (I heard originally Robin Williams was up for consideration. OMG.)
