SPOILERS for Watchmen

The Watchmen movie was spectacularly well done, the few updates were brilliantly handled, and whether or not you have read the comic (which you should), you should see the movie. It's got me thinky.

Hi there! Great review. Also, you may want to check out watchdom. :D

I saw why they made Manhattan the fall guy, though I preferred the original ending. It did make things smoother for this adaption and it was overall a tiny touch (though I do think that the almost certain 'now-humanity-builds-a-serious-space-program-to-fight-these-aliens' is part of why Ozymandias' plan works).

I was disappointed by the casting in the Second Silk Spectre & to a lesser extent Ozymandias. I did really appreciate how the sex scenes were done, and the fetishing of the costumes by Nite Owl & S^3.

Did you see my facebook link where Reason has an Objectivist trying to claim Rorschach as an Objectivist hero? It was hilarious.

I didn't read this post because I want to see the movie but haven't yet. I bought Todd the graphic novel two days ago so I might read it before going but I don't know when I'll get a chance.
