Great review Steve.
I really enjoyed the movie as well. I’ve never read the graphic novel so I had kept an open mind and had no expectations. What Ozy did (at the end) pissed me off! I was told (after the movie) the ending was different than what is in the graphic novel. My boyfriend has seen it twice and loves it. A friend of mine, that read the graphic novel, and saw the movie and said she absolutely loved it. I’d probably go again if my bf wants to see it a third time. Otherwise, I’ll watch it when my bf buys the DVD.
I highly recommend this movie.

Overall, amazing. I believe the film redefines the genre of comics/movies. The background of each hero was well done showing the human flaws in each, even Dr. Manhattan. The ending could have been expanded a bit to show the aftermath and “rebirth” a bit better. It was almost as if the studio execs got their two cents in during this portion.

The sex scene onboard ‘Archie’ between Nite Owl and Silk Spectre with “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen playing in the background was one of the sexiest pieces of film I’ve ever beared witness to…seriously.

something that stands out to me about Watchmen is the amazing character development; they do a great job making each person in that movie a whole, unique person

Whilst I found the film all engrossing, I have the exact opposite view about the music. I know the song choice largely fitted chronologically, but they spoilt it a bit for me, being songs which are so overused they didn’t really hold me in the scene. Liked the incidental music, shame there wasn’t just a whole film score. Loved the film though, would happily have gone back in and watched it again after an hour of “digestion”. What’s this I hear about an extra disc for the DVD with the Pirate strand??

I also thought they glossed over the law banning costumed heroes. I remember hearing about it before the movie, never read the graphic novel, and thought that aspect sounded interesting. Then they mention it like once and quickly in the movie.

Saw the film on Saturday and will be going again this Friday, both were with/will be with people who have absolutely no idea what the story is about. My dad thought it was great, admitting that it took him about an hour to get a feel of what was going on, but he thought it was fantastic. I think that they should’ve made it a full 3 hours to properly tie it all together in the end since they were obviously going for complete accuracy with the scenes, etc. The song selection couldn’t have been more perfect, and while the score worked well while watching the film, it isn’t something that I’d like to sit and listen to for my own personal entertainment. Overall, I give it a solid A+ and I can’t wait to see it again on Friday. Hopefully there won’t be any 6 year olds in the theater this time.

Saw it at the IMAX in Manchester, England. Queued for 30 minutes before to get a good seat as the last film I’d seen in IMAX was funnily enough “300″ and I was stuck right down the front.
You’ve summed up my thoughts pretty well, great film but why change the ending ? I think he could have pulled it off if he’d put his mind to it, seems like a pretty talented guy.
