I actually think the film’s ending makes more sense then the graphic novel’s, both logically and thematically. I personally was enthralled from beginning to end and couldn’t identify a single point where the film lagged. If anything my complaint is that the film wasn’t longer, but then the special edition Blu-Ray shall take care of that for me in no time.

I find it a success, based in large part on boiling 400+pp of dense source material to less than 3 hrs, while still retaining the bulk of story, both thematically and narratively.

The more I think about the movie’s ending, the less it works for me. That said, I praise Snyder for doing the impossible almost as well as anyone could. It’s essentially a well-made, greatest hits distillation of WATCHMEN starring real people.

I enjoyed the movie as well. I understand the switch for the ending, the end result is the same and the book’s ending would have taken another twenty minutes to explain.

For a movie that was called un filmable I think they pulled it off
