Having known about the comic, and known the story, forEVAR, but having never read the comic, I can say that I liked it. I know, I know, that turns me into some kind of geek pariah because OMG I NEVAR READ WATCHMEN WTFUX, but eh.
From what I've heard about the squid, I think within the confines of the retelling, and the presentation to a wider-than-comic-geeks-audience, changing it was a good move on their part. I can safely say that, as far as I was concerned, the movie didn't drop the ball anywhere.
The music choices didn't bother me much, but I'm a fan of the 'fitting-but-not-fitting' use of music. Call me weird. 'Halleluja' in the sex scene elicited quite a number of lulz from our row, though I gotta say, that felt like the longest movie intro I've ever sat through. It was good, and made a very nice setup, but it felt like it was dragging too much for my tastes
